Nicki Minaj Shows Off Her Natural Hair

Nicki Minaj is usually known for her outrageous videos, ridiculous red-carpet photo ops, and crazy-colored wigs and makeup that distract us from whatever substance might be underneath those layers. But recently the Trinidadian YMCMB rapper showed something else off: her natural hair.

Recently during a photo shoot at an undisclosed location, Nicki Minaj posted some raw, genuine behind-the-scenes pics on her Instagram. Her face was half-beaten with makeup, revealing a beautiful natural glow. But if that wasn't shocking enough, the star showcased her natural hair, titling one of pictures "No perm. No extensions." Ah, we love it!

Perhaps Nicki is catching on to the #TeamNatural hair movement? Or, maybe she read EClark6's recent article on the do's and don'ts of flat-ironing naturally curly hair. Regardless, this lady is freakin' gorgeous and likely gained some more fans yesterday! We enjoy seeing this side of Nicki, and can only hope for more embracing to come.
