Vixen, Validated: Michelle Obama's 5-Minute Tuck Up at the Country Music Celebration

According to celebrity hairstylist Johnny Wright, First Lady Michelle Obama never cut her hair...rather, he didn't cut her hair. All he did was a simple switch-up called the tuck-up!

"There are two things I do. The up-tuck, like you are tucking something in. Then I do a tuck-up. The up-tuck is when I position a small ponytail somehere on the head, and then I tuck the rest of the hair up under that ponytail. Then a tuck-up is when I take the hair and gather it all in the back. I then twist it and I pull up and tuck. And that's what she got at the White House. A tuck-up! Not a cut," Wright told the Urban Beauty Collective.

He then added that he has given "different celebrities" the tuck-up and that "it looks different every time depending on the length of the hair. It's a really easy updo. It looks really classy and appropriate for any occasion."

Apparently, there have been talks about cutting Obama's hair because he said that "this would be a nice length for her whenever we decide to cut it." Wright reported that she said, "Yeah." Based on people's reactions to Obama's faux coif, Wright confirmed that "whenever we do cut it, I'll probably go shorter now because everyone thinks that's the cut!"

Vixen, Validated: How to Get First Lady Michelle Obama's Contemporary Cut

It seems like everyone nowadays are embracing short, chic cuts and now First Lady Michelle Obama is no exception! Imagine my surprise when I saw one of my favorite online stores, Hair Sisters, selling Freetress Equal Lace Front Wig in Lady Michelle! You can get it for $44.99!

I don't know if Michelle Obama actually cut her hair or even just pinned it back to give the illusion that she cut it but I like it. I don't exactly love it since I've styled my hair just like hers from time to time.  Even if it turns out to be wig, I'd like to know the brand and where I can get it!

What I found interesting was that the DailyMail UK says that Michelle Obama "stole Rihanna's style" by sporting a cropped pixie with a sweeping fringe. That was 8:57 AM this morning. Then they said called her bobbed hairstyle "classy and elegant" at 4:14 PM.  I mean, which is it? Is the First Lady a swagger/style jacker or a classy, elegant trendsetter following in the footsteps of first fashionista Jackie Kennedy Onassis?

Want to know what I think? Like I said with Chrisette Michele, Michelle Obama doesn't need to jack anyone's swagger. If anything, people are jacking her style by hitting up White House|Black Market and the like! But if you're in love with her hair, especially her signature bob, you can find how celebrity hairstylist Jonny Wright created this look.
