00:00You wearing braids was a thing for people.
00:03I didn't wear braids in the White House.
00:05After, no. You returned. Now who cares?
00:08But why did you not?
00:10Well, because it was one of those things, like,
00:14I remember the second term when I cut bangs.
00:18That was every story.
00:19I mean, I couldn't even...
00:21I'm talking about nutrition,
00:23and the article leads with, but are bangs.
00:27You know, so you realize, all right,
00:29it's a trade-off.
00:31Do I want, while I understand it,
00:33do I want that distraction?
00:36And when do I want the distraction?
00:38It's a strategic move.
00:40And, you know, and also, to be honest,
00:42it's like we were the first.
00:44And I was like, first of all, they got to get used to us.
00:47Now I can show up with some braids,
00:48and now that's all we're talking about.
00:50I mean, that's... When they turn...
00:51When we did a fist bump with each other,
00:53they turned that into a terrorist act, right?
00:56It's just like, who needs the hassle?
00:59Let me just straighten my hair and get health care passed.
01:02Did you resent that at all?
01:03Was there any resentment in that?
01:05Was your hair damaged?
01:07No, because I had...
01:09Solid question.
01:09No, but I wore weaves, extensions.
01:12I have protective styles,
01:13because you get your hair done every day.
01:15Right, right, right.
01:16And sometimes twice a day,
01:17if you're out jumping jacks in the rain.
01:19I mean, the things that I did...
01:21It's like, no, put some extensions in,
01:24or I did all kinds of things.
01:26I just kept it...
01:27Whatever I mimicked, I mimicked what my hair was, right?
01:31But, yeah, no, there was no way...
01:33I would not have any hair on my head
01:35if I straightened it as much as I had to straighten it.
01:39So I did a little bit of everything.
01:41I did a little bit of everything.
