Mariah Carey and Meghan Markle Share Their Love for Natural Hair

The singer of “All I Want for Christmas is You” said that “nobody” knew how to style her hair as a child, having grown up with a black dad and white mom.

Carey stated, referring to female relatives who are familiar with natural hairstyles.

Meghan shared a story about her childhood. She said that her hair was “so curly” and “so, so thick” because of her maternal grandmother Jeanette.

She recalled, “She’d say, “Just hold on to it,’ and I would grab my little hands on both ends,'” adding that she didn’t have the luxury of being “tender-headed” when her grandmother used the brush.

Meghan closed the episode by stating that it was an adolescent goal to meet the “All I Want For Christmas Is You” singer.

She explained that she wanted to look, feel, sing, and do everything as Mariah Carey did when she was young. She was so talented, glamorous, and amazing. She was successful. She was also mixed like me. I could see her as an aspirational figure. You have to see it to believe them, they say. It was clear that I could see her. It made me feel as if I was being seen.”

The Bench author stated that she was “stopped” during one of their chats when the five-time Grammy Award recipient said to the host that she sometimes had “diva moments”.

“You didn’t see me clearly, but I started sweating a bit… I just kept thinking, at this moment, was my girl crush about to die? Is she really not seeing me? Mariah clarified Meghan’s meaning before Meghan spoke.

“When she called me a diva, she meant that she was referring to the way I dress, my posture, and the ‘fabulousness,’ as she views it. Meghan said that she meant “diva” as a compliment but I understood it to be a dig. “At that moment she explained to me that she meant it chic and aspirational. It’s amazing to me how one word can have different meanings for each of us.

Meghan reflected on the momentous and uncertain future of archetypes. She said that she saw “that for some people, reclaiming words is what they feel will propel them forward.”
