Oprah Winfrey posed with her natural hair for the cover of her magazine's Makeover September Issue.

This is the first time ever that Oprah poses without blow-drying or straightening her hair and she confesses that one time she wanted to chop it off.

"I wanted to wear it close-cropped a la Camille Cosby but her husband Bill convinced me otherwise. 'Don't do it,' he said. 'You've got the wrong head shape and you'll disappoint yourself.' I took his advice," Oprah says. Oprah is a firm believer that changing your hairstyle can change what we see and feel is possible.

"I even notice a change in my dogs when they get their summer cuts: they're friskier and livelier, feeling more themselves once the weight of the hair is released."
