Oprah Winfrey Covers O Magazine Wearing Huge Afro Wig

Oprah Winfrey wears a giant afro hairstyle on the cover of O, The Oprah Magazine‘s September 2013 issue.

“Just revealed this new cover of O, The Oprah Magazine – one of my faves ever – Let’s talk about HAIR! Love this cover so much, I’m making it my new profile pic!” the 59-year-old media mogul wrote on her Facebook page.

 

"I wish I could say it was all mine," Winfrey says of her big wig. "In fact, though, it's borrowed. And it feels like carrying around an extra head." She adds, "My own hair is shorter, not quite so spherical, and a lot lighter. But that doesn't mean it never gives me grief. When it comes to hair, I'm in the same boat as most every other woman."

She elaborates, "The way we feel about our hair is universal: We love it when it looks great, we can't stand it when it looks not so great, and we all want it to tell the world something about us." She continues, "I know for sure that your true crowning glory comes not from what's on your head but from what's in your heart."

The 3.5-pound wig was created by stylist Kim Kimble, who has worked on "The Voice" and done Beyonce Knowles' hair.
