For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Okay, so she didn't exactly say it like that but that's how she meant it. In an interview with Associate Press, Gabby talks about being confused over the controversy of her own hair.
Via Huffington Post
"I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair?" said Douglas, the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in team and all-around competition. "I'm like, `I just made history and people are focused on my hair?' It can be bald or short, it doesn't matter about (my) hair."
Douglas uses gel, clips and a ponytail holder to keep things in place while she competes, a style she's worn for years.
"Nothing is going to change," she said. "I'm going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well just stop talking about it."
The bubbly teenager is the first African-American gymnast to win her sport's biggest prize. She had no idea she was lighting up social media until she Googled herself hours after winning her gold medal.
"I don't think people should be worried about that," she said. "We're all champions and we're all winners. I just say that it's kind of, a stupid and crazy thought to think about my hair."
Crazy thing is, I may be the only person the planet that doesn't see what the fuss is about her hair. Even if she hadn't made history, I don't get what the problem is. She has thick hair, full edges and a great length. What's the issue here? I'm sorry, with all of the women who have their edges on life support, I can't possibly fix my mind to see anything wrong with Gabby's hair. Is it not as slick as people want it to be? Is it because of the clips and gel that she uses to keep her hair out of her face while she's out there WINNING? She is 16 years old and sweating out her hair daily. She has the rest of her life to be concerned about Indian Remy weave. Til then, she's going to keep counting those Corn Flakes dollars and stunting while the haters stay mad.

Comment by OLD $PICE PINE NEEDLE on August 7, 2012 at 3:25pm *sighs heavily* and you interpreted it your way? FOH ain't nuthin wrong with me. It's you and take your own advice in your last sentence. I'm not judging her I'm slapping you, just telling you to leave this young woman alone, congratulate her and let her come into her own.
Nothing wrong with her hair when she's competing and sweating, what the hell else is she gonna do with it, huh?
Comment by Sapphire Glow on August 7, 2012 at 6:30pm Her hair looks fine to me. My hair would have been the same if I was doing flips and ish at the Olympics.
That's a shame, people just need something to say. Glad she's not phased by it, get on her level!
Comment by MS. UCAN NEVA GET ENUFF!! on August 7, 2012 at 9:41pm @ l8dy...she was confused by the comments because it was pure nonsense....she wasn't really confused...she just don't understand the ignorance of some ppl. I can't believe you actually believe she should get a stylist, well, I can believe it, but you knw what I mean, or maybe you don't..neva mind.....

Comment by OLD $PICE PINE NEEDLE on August 8, 2012 at 8:04am @l8dy-c, you clearly went off topic and 'tried to distract us' with your 'assumptions' and accusations. You clearly 'don't get it'. No anger or attitude here. Since you don't know me, you clearly show your true colors when you made those comments about Gabby (google her and you'll see her hair well flat ironed for the Olympic pictures and when she's with Dominique Dawes), her hair is well done before the fame. #chewonthat I'll leave you alone to argue with yourself on here. You're clearly not on our level with your idiotic comments.
I know it's hard to admit you're wrong, because you're trying to mask it with 'personal attacks' that you 'think' will hurt me. :)
