‘Feeling the Braids’: Porsha Williams’ Hair Leaves Fans Crushing

Porsha Williams has a new hairstyle. The cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” debuted her fresh hairdo in an Instagram post from Thursday, May 21. The 38-year-old Williams sported long feed-in braids styled with laid and slayed baby hairs.

Lying on a purple pillow, the mother of one hit her angles by looking up toward the camera. Williams’ large engagement ring complemented her french-tip acrylic nails. She wore a black tank top and appeared to be underneath a gray blanket. The reality star rocked a full face of makeup before hitting the sack. In her caption she wrote, “Yoga then a nap! I did it my way and I love it. Love my braids.”

At the beginning of April, Williams flaunted a shoulder-length haircut with wispy bangs. She named her style “Quarentina.” The founder of Pampered by Porsha has been playing around with her appearance quite frequently during her stay-at-home life.

Williams, a radio personality on “Dish Nation,” recently treated herself to Botox for Mother’s Day. She explained in an Instagram post that she received the injections on her forehead. Williams shared that she underwent the cosmetic procedure after she started to feel drained amid the COVID-19 crisis. “Being home during quarantine, I started to look and feel a bit tired, so @dr.thuydoan was just what the Dr. ordered!” she wrote.

Williams also spent the holiday with her baby girl, Pilar Jhena’ Mckinley. She shares her 1-year-old daughter with her fiancé Dennis McKinley. Williams and McKinley haven’t officially set a wedding date.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
