A sometimes overlooked part of Oprah’s legacy, her hairstyles have progressed over a quarter of a century — adapting to the current fashions along the way.
The talk show host has frequently mentioned the man behind her mane, Andre Walker, who has been her hairstylist since the Oprah Winfrey Show began in 1986. Last season Oprah said, “I’ve had the same hairdresser for 24 years, That’s why I still have my hair.”
We’ve compiled some of the talk show host’s most memorable hairdos and asked experts to decide whether they were hits — or misses. We enlisted the help of Essence Magazine beauty director Corynne Corbett and Veronica Wells, resident hair guru and Associate Editor of Madame Noire.
