For the first time in history, Miss Universe is a woman with her natural hair. This past Sunday, Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi won the crown with her beautiful short, Afro-textured hair and she did it despite being told by “a lot of people” that she should wear a wig. “It was so strange because even a lot of people I knew, people that were my friends, were like, ‘Sis, we love you, but we’re just saying, maybe you should put on a wig or buy a weave,” says Zozibini. When it came time for the pageant, she didn’t want to compromise her appearance to fit what her friends and advisors perceived as the “Miss Universe look”: long, straight hair. Instead, she decided to keep her natural hair and appear on the Miss Universe stage in the look she liked best. Zozibini chose to be herself, and she has a crown to show for it. Congrats to Tunzi on her history-making win and for serving as one more reminder to define beauty on your own terms.
