Gabby Douglas Explains Bad Hair Day, ‘This is NOT a Beauty Pageant!’
Because apparently, this isn’t going anywhere, the comments about Olympic Gold winner, Gabby Douglas, continue. In a recent interview, she explains why she thinks comments about her hair are ‘disrespectful’ and why keeping her in fact is the least of her worries:
“They have no idea what they’re talking about. You sweat and all the gel and hairspray comes out. Even if we did fix our hair, our coach would be like, ‘This is not a beauty pageant! Leave it alone.’ There’s no bathroom. We rotate from event to event so there’s no time for them to say ‘Representing the USA, Gabrielle Douglas’ and me to say ‘Yeah, thanks!’ as I’m brushing my hair. It’s like, come on.”
Gabby continued:
“It’s so disrespectful! I’m not thinking about that. I’m thinking about bringing a gold medal home. I use great Pantene products in my hair. They make my hair silky, shiny and healthy.”
That-A-Girl!

She shouldn’t even address it anymore. Her hair is fine. Like she said, this isn’t a beauty pageant. Who cares? She’s doing a GREAT job representing the USA and Black America.
I see she bout to get that Pantene deal tho…#WellPlayed #WellPlayed indeed
@dominique morgan i was thinking the same thing!!!! Which is probably the only reason she responded to the nonsense… Any female athlete knows that your hair can start out cute, but if it stays that way, you are not doing something right in the sport…
Exactly
@Dominique Morgan and ravw….She wasn’t begging for no Patene deal…Of all campaign deals she could try to get do you honestly think she’d be begging to get a deal with Patene??????
I’ve never even seen a black woman do a commercial for Patene before in my life….I know Patene products for being more specifically catered for Caucasian hair types….
Could people just stop pulling out everything wrong they see in this girl and just accept her success??? My God…..
