Oprah Winfrey admits she sees a hairdresser every day, a situation she considers "hair heaven." Speaking Saturday on her "Live Your Best Life" inspirational tour, she warned white fans not to ask their black friends about hair issues, because they couldn't possibly understand.

"Don't go into it, because there ain't no telling. It's a strong cultural thing. We're all alike in our veins, except for our hair," Winfrey said. Winfrey, who drew 5,000 to the Denver Convention Center, advised fans to work hard at being themselves.

"If you are not speaking your own truth, you will never be able to be all you are meant to be. You cannot be pretending to be somebody else," she said.

--When I lived in Chicago a few years ago, I used to get my hair cut by the guy who used to style some of her wigs. I totally thought she just got her hair done everyday, but he said most of the time on the show, she wore wigs that he'd do for her.

My daughter and I saw her on the news the other day (we live near Denver) and debated whether she wore wigs or not. Whatever...she's been looking really pretty lately.
