It finally happened: Michelle Obama let her natural hair down. After eight years having her strands blown out [3], curled, and coiffed, the former first lady gave us a glimpse of her "woke up like this" mane. It's what many of her fans have been waiting for.

The good people of Twitter are absolutely loving it, and the comments have been super supportive. This moment of letting loose, so to say, is empowering other black women to embrace their natural texture.

Some are even taking it pretty personally.
