Henson initially cut her hair in September 2017 and explained to “Extra” at the time that she was done letting her stylist touch her hair with heat after covering Marie Claire for that year’s October issue.

“You know why I [went natural]? I wanted to get my curl pattern back,” the actress who stars on “Empire” as Cookie Lyon said. “I don’t know if you saw the Marie Claire cover. That is the only time I allowed [my hairstylist Tym Wallace] to straighten my hair. I’m not straightening my hair again.”

Henson has actually been natural since the filming of the 2001 coming-of-age drama “Baby Boy.”

“When I did ‘Baby Boy’, I had new growth and I was ashamed,” she told People magazine in 2016. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, my hair is terrible, don’t look at my new growth.’ The young lady who did my hair [for it] asked me, ‘What are you talking about? Your hair is beautiful! Why are you even getting a relaxer? All you have to do is know how to work it.’ So I grew my relaxer out. I was overwhelmed at first, because you go from straight, silky hair, to ‘What is this?’”
