She is so pretty. The hairstyle fits her.

Hmmmm. Interesting.

she look iight

She looks way cuter!

Its really isn't that hard to quit relaxing(notice i said relaxing, not perming Smh). Using a straightener works better for my hair although i never use it anymore.

she's gorgeous either way.

she's beautiful!!!

So cute, I love that cut, wish I had the ***.

It's sad that people feel that it's a very bold step for a black woman to look how she's authentically supposed to look. Malinda looks beautiful as usual.

She's just beautiful, with or without the perm!

::she is gorgeous!::

She is Such a beautiful women.. She is my idol natural beauty is the best beauty ....

SHe does. Black women look GREAT with the hair that grows out of their heads.

Black women with white people hair looks like Asians with afros. It just don't fit. Especially if you have full facial features. Black hair is designed by nature to compliment the face it is put on. Real talk.

she has ALWAYS been beautiful

for the latest in African American News check out BLACKPEOPLEDOREAD DOTCOM!!!

now she does look pretty with that style and not a lot of people are able to pull that style off but it looks really cute on her.

She actually looks better. Very cute and organic.#teamnatural

Awww she is gorgeous

Black women look best to me in *** curls than bone straight hair. Why would you pass up on thick hair for thin, lifeless, straight hair. If it isn't full of body i don't see the point. I would kill for curls, my hair is wavy but i need a lot of product to keep it luxurious.

either way she's beautiful and very classy

She's a natural beauty so both styles look nice

who dat?!

She just looks pretty with *** hair period, whether it's relaxed or natural

Beautiful as always

I have ALWAYS loved looking at this woman, the voice, the stature..she's beautiful.

She's always been pretty to me...get it girl

~Follow me @Phenomenal_88

She does look better here, kinda looking like young Lauryn Hill! I see why Mike grabbed that booty in the Wood! lol

She's so pretty she could rock anything! you go girl!

She does look great and its easy maintenance. I've been told when you have a beautiful face and everything else to go along with it don't no man care.....ABOUT NO HAIR!

Shes always nice lookin

Always pretty, I love her. And for the love of God, pls stop saying perm...black women get relaxers NOT perms!!!!

She's gorgeous with the perm and natural hair.

Whhhhaaaaa.......MTO complimenting a natural-looking black woman..........*** the front door......!?!?!?

Does she ever age? She has always been so pretty to me

always good but this latest is wa-ay better

SHE STILL LOOK CUTE

Asians are making way to much money off of black women we don't own what we use and plus those chemicals are dangerous have you researched what's in a relaxer formaldahyde used on dead people its not safe and its pointless u can get you hair straight with a flat iron and natural hair takes heat better research black women

She has always been gorgeous

Her natural hairstyle compliments her face very well,its good to give your hair a break from chemicals every often. Relaxers are excellent for enabling versatility but can be harmful in the long run.

She definitely looks good!

Malinda can wear any hairstyle. She's like Nia Long, very beautiful!

☼☼☼☼☼☼Yes she looks way more beautiful with her natural hair.Women always do but try to hide it☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

- I love it!!! It looks amazing on her!!

Good idea Piggy. Malinda may be the right choice for Single Ladies.

so much better...reminds me of a young lauryn hill

Yea she can rock it. good look on her.

[Last bottom photo] These 2 women are among the:

"Most Beautiful Women in the World"

Love the natural GodQueens.

She looks great!! The best choice I made was going natural

Love it.

WELL I DONT LIKE THIS SS?HITT???? SOUL FOOD BB?ITCH???

^__^ (oo)_______ (__) )///

( REAL ) ( REAL ) ( TALK )

looks like she has not aged one bit , she was always pretty to me, one of my favorites out there what has she been up to lately

Malinda is naturally beautiful so any hairstyle will suffice. Miss her on the screen.

Us natural hair beauties just be doin it fo ourselves

Simply Gorgeous & always have been! Any style fits Malinda.

She is very Beautiful...I wish more women would go natural!!

Ok, whatever. Her hair is ***, so if it's wet, that's what it's gonna do, natural or permed. She looks nice, but the hairdo is just a *** hairdo.

cute natural is better anyways

It looks good on her

Oooo nice!! I love it. I'm natural also. It's really good for your hair. My hair grows rapidly,thick and healthy. Relaxers break down your hair and take out natural oils and nutrients your body produces. So kudos for her i love it.

Beautiful natural lady. Luv it.

She kinda look like Lauryn Hill

She look so pretty with *** hair. Follow me on Twitter @Lovely_Kashmere. I'll follow back. :0

Her ips,smile and eyes. *** she's beautiful. I remember her from first Sunday,soul food, and daddys little girls and she's always looked good.

DaisyDooks2......keep schooling them...

natural is always best.....strong, original, bold, healthy, untouched, thick to the core AND un commercialized

NATURAL HAIR IS THE BEST

ah the *** hair *** look is not what's up ladies.

Malinda is a really good actress and I think she would be a good choice for Single Ladies if they do not keep Stacey.I have the first season of Soul Food series,good actress.I love the chemistry she had with Lem.I also remember Malinda in Laurel Avenue.

Malinda looks great. By y r these nappy headed hos so concerned what other black women r doing to our hair. Do u need my approval? Ill keep my perm *** u do u.

Lets keep it real, natural hair is for the eclectic and the weirdos. Somethings going on in her life. For real! She is trying to find some new direction in life.

That Sh*t is Fiya!!!!!!! Natural is the best!!!!

It's really disheartening to see black women talk negatively about their own hair. If you didn't relax your hair every three weeks you would be considered "nappy headed" too. There's NOTHING weird or wrong about wearing the hair that god gave your people. The only people with an issue with black hair is black people, why is that? I like the hair. Too bad many black women will pay thousands for what i have. Indian hair isn't gods gift!

She looks absolutely beautiful. Full, bee-stung lips, youthful and innocent, high forehead-- that style accentuates it all! This the way to go ladies. Eat properly, drink LOTS of water and avoid stress. This style is no problem to pull off. I started off with my hair like this until I let it grow out naturally.

DonnieB317: Lets keep it real, natural hair is for the eclectic and the weirdos. Somethings going on in her life. For real! She is trying to find some new direction in life. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< If STOP MAKING RELAXER's tomrw!!!! All ya HAIR WILL FALL OUT!!!!!

*Waves@DaisyDooks! Always a blessing reading your comments!

If STOP MAKING RELAXER's tomrw!!!! All ya HAIR WILL FALL OUT. Natural Hair is The best. YOUTUBE it.

She does look beautiful like this!!!!!!!

Rp89, youre not lying. After a couple of months without relaxing, my relaxed hairs began to fall off. So have many women who go natural, that's why the big chop is so popular. Remarkable, lol i so agree. When i went natural i constantly received compliments from other races and black men, but black women were shocked like i committed the ultimate sin. One little teenager asked did i have cancer. She was amazed at that i grew four inches in three months smh.

@Donnie---so basically what you are saying is that hair perming would be considered "normal" since wearing natural God Given hair is eclectic or weird? Tsk Tsk.

Looks beautiful, however it isn't natural. She actually switched from relaxers to a perm(or texturizer whichever you like to call it). My aunt gets this done to her hair. Very pretty on her.

Vixenise, my bestie has natural hair and Im amazed at how she washes her hair once a week, puts laxitive in it and flatiron or curls it once and her hair stays nice the whole week. Natural black hair is the only hair that doesn't require products to keep its style. LUCKY!

@vixenise: right! RELAXED hair is not hair!!! $$$$$pending thousands of dollars to MAINTAIN RELAXED HAIR while harming your body. HOT-COMB , FLAT-IRON and BLOW-DRYER can give you STRAIGHT HAIR. Look at MILLIONS of Women on YOUTUBE and INTERNET with LONG, STRONG & HEALTHY NATURAL HAIR.

You can't tell these girls that. They rather have their relaxed and fried hair braided and covered with some random Indian child's unwashed, bug filled hair. If Im going to spend $500 on anything, it better be clean and unused.

The Dominicans just laugh and every other race finds it humorous.... How majority of the " black race" do not appreciate their NATURAL GOD-GIVEN BEAUTY. those RELAXER'S are acid it can BURN AN OBJECT!

I had to do some googling because Im a little shocked here. No one told me that my hair is worth five Benjamins. I worked through college for nothing :(

vixenise: $500 -$5,000+ SPENT in a year WEAVES! That's more than enough money to get your NATURAL HAIR done! .WASH+BLOWDRY = $15. DEEP CONDITION= $20. HOT-OIL TREATMENT= $30-$50

She is still using a texturizer.

remarkable: Grow your INDIAN HAIR and SELL or DONATE IT!!!! MTO has plenty of WEAVEY-WONDERS who want it because they consider it Good Hair....since they can't appreciate or love what they were BORN With.

If STOP MAKING RELAXER's tomrw!!!! All ya HAIR WILL FALL OUT. So, keep MAINTAINING your unnatural state.

Never conform to what is not naturally you.Very shocking to see sisters with damaged hairline and hair from wearing weaves.Take your power back and beauty that you're hiding ,never alter your beautiful black/chocolate features for man's poisonous dyes,chemicals,and bleaches.It's a work in progress to get back to our natural god given features which should not be the case.

I love my natural hair. Saves money and looks Fabulous!! I cut my perm out 3 years ago. And my hair is longer and stronger..I love it. Go Natural!!

Rp89 if I ever fall on hard times to the barber shop my children and I shall go. I thought a hair was only twenty a bag. Black hair isn't bad, so Im confused. All hair looks bad when improperly taken care of. Exercise, healthy diet, vitamins and quality hair products should be all you need.

This is what my daddy told me about stank *** ***... if they don't have time to take care of own hair...what makes you think they are taking care of anything thing else?

Have y'all seen her sister? She wears her hair the same way. Maybe they can do each other's touch-ups or something. Honestly, it's not about what's going on on top of her head that concerns me, it's about what's in it. Two failed marriages and both husbands said the same thing about her. WTF is up with that? She needs to get that head examined and not by a beautician.

VERY CUTE....

It works for her and she is very pretty. =)

Women need to leave that lace front mess alone. I am seeing too many young and old women with Alopecia, If your hair is *** ladies, take care of hair that you have. By wearinf wigs and weaves y'all are making yourselves balder than Kojak aka Mr. Clean. Malinda is a cutie.

She went from Cougar to AUNTY.

The *** look like a poodle..... she had *** hair than... *** even *** hair now. But it do look better now that it dnt look like she got a mop on her head

why do they always try to secretly carry people. But I like the natural I liked her part in The Wood

It looks great on her ! I always thought she looked like a young, fresh Lauryn Hill. If she grows dreads they could pass for sisters. Mention me on twitter so we can follow each other ! ;) @Beauty2Classic

That's what's up! She is such a beautiful Queen!

That's because she is a natural beauty.

Beautiful...

**THE HOTTEST SINGING GROUP OUT**

Follow us on Twitter @kazual1

Looks cute ON HER

she's so beautiful ....and thank the goodness she's not looking like a typical black girl clone

Pretty

Wow she NEVER aged!

loves it!!!

She's cute natural or relaxed (women of color don't use perms mto learn the difference)

*** hair or long hair, she looks gorgeous and that's a fact.

da journalist, she is a beautiful woMAN, not a beautiful women. For GOODNESS sakes, learn some grammer. Why, why, why, do I see this mistake all over the internet?

its texturizer ppl...and if yur a black woman yu kno all about it

I LOVE this sista.

@CallmeAngel - You are hardly in a position to correct someone when you spell GRAMMAR incorrectly. It's not spelled graMMER.

She looks nice with the natural hair.

she is a natural beauty!
