Hair ye, hair ye: Michelle Obama didn't cut her hair.
Her hairstylist Johnny Wright reveals that he gave her an "tuck up," which she debuted at a country music event at the White House Tuesday.
"No, I didn't cut her hair," he tells UrbanBeautyCollective.com. "There are two things I do. The UP-TUCK, like you are tucking something in. Then I do a TUCK-UP. The UP-TUCK is when I position a small ponytail somewhere on the head, and then I tuck the rest of the hair up under that ponytail. Then a TUCK-UP is when I take the hair and gather it all in the back and I twist it and I pull up and tuck. And that is what she got last night! A TUCK UP! Not a cut."
Wright says he has given "different celebrities" the same look "and it looks different every time depending on the length of the hair."

But he notes, "It's a really easy up do. And it looks really classy and appropriate for any occasion."

As for Michelle, "I said to her that this would be a nice length for her whenever we decide to cut it, and she said yeah," Wright says. "So now whenever we do cut it, I'll probably go shorter now because everyone thinks that's the cut!"

3That new do is fabulous
its obvious that it is nothing more than just that a simple mistake like a typo that has nothing to do with illiteracy or ignorance its correct throughout the rest of the story get over it.
Your quote about Michelle Obama having "AN" "tuck-up" makes me sick...does your magazine have editors? How about any LITERATE editors!? It makes me sick to see so many simple mistakes such as this - it screams "ILLITERATE!" and "IGNORANCE". Please go back to school, take some journalism or writing classes and learn how to use the English language properly.
