Janai Norman hair products: Does Janai Norman have natural hair?
Janai has natural hair. When she started her career, she straightened her hair which had been the industry standard until now.
She said, “To free my curls, I first had to free my mind. That may sound like an overstatement, but really.”
Now, she’s behind the #FreeTheCurls movement.
When she was pregnant, she says she started wearing wigs at work to protect her natural hair.
“The first time I anchored the overnight show, the hairstylist convinced me to unbraid my hair and to wear my natural hair on-air as it was. The feedback that morning was fantastic,” said Norman.
Rocking her natural hair, Janai is inspiring, empowering and liberating others to do the same.
She knows…many women in many industries are facing the same struggle.
“I hope she feels like, hey, if she can, I can, too,” she said.
