Queen Latifah’s Comment about Black Hair, Says It Is 'Unique'

Queen Latifah is now the "face of the world's number-one haircare brand", according to PEOPLE.

Queen Latifah has been known for a lot of accomplishment and this is just adding another feather to her cap. She is the newest face of Pantene and will be endorsing its Truly Relaxed and Truly Natural Collection.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Queen Latifah talked about her new partnership with the hair care brand. She said, "I've wanted to work with them for a long time. When they first approached me, I thought, 'Finally!'"

There is a reason why she wanted to work with Pantene eagerly. Having black hair is unique," she said, "in that black women change up styles a lot. You can walk down one street block in New York City and see 10 different hairstyles that black women are wearing: straight curls, short cuts, braids - we really run the gamut. That means we have to have the products that really work for all of our various looks, and Pantene is so versatile."

Queen Latifah eagerly wanted to have the natural style. "I'm really looking forward to wearing it natural more often. It's just fun," she told PEOPLE.

She also shared some embarrassing experience involving her hair, "When I was a freshman in high school, which is a serious time in your life for how people look at you, everyone wanted to wear their hair curly. So this woman went to put curls in my hair, but I had permanently straight hair at the time and didn't know you couldn't go curly if you had that! Let's just say I ended up looking like a hot mess. I'm glad I wasn't insecure back then, because that would have been beyond devastating."
