Halle Berry and her new short curly hair. Oh, and Henna tats. She says she's due in March, but, I think she's just trying to throw the paps off...she looks like she was due yesterday.

I hope so too lol. Yeah she looks like March would be a pretty long pregnancy for her.
It's a wig to cover up her own nappy hair. She can't have her own hair chemically straightened while she's preg. So, her own hair is pretty bad by now I am guessin. Her roots are always nappy, like Bouncy's. Can't get the roots to lay down. Head pubes!
Not true, I had my hair relaxed during my pregnancy..besides, Halles got a white Momma, her hair is fine... now, the Paps hounding her is another thing, she's so big she probably just wants a little privacy...
What caught my attention was her "henna hands". Some years ago I dated an Indian man and I learned much about the Indian culture and society-- both from the Hindu as well as the Islamic aspect.
Of particular interest to me was the ritual use of "Mehndi" (temporary Henna tattooing, quite trendy a few years ago) and I came to discover that it's much more than mere body decoration.
For centuries, the art form of Mehndi has been used in ceremonies and rituals and to mark special occasions. Ordinarily, the designs are drawn on the hands and feet with henna paste, which stains darker (and lasts longer) than on other areas of the body.
I learned that the use of Mehndi is an important ritual for weddings in particular. The women of the couple's family gather together in celebration and decorate the bride along with other members of the bridal party. This is all day affair where in addition to the working with henna the women eat lots of sweets and gossip incessantly.
It's very important that the bride's henna stains are done very dark as it is believed that there is a correlation between the length of time her designs last, and the "lasting love" of the new couple.
If you're still with me... lol, here is where I believe there might be some relevance to Halle;
Among other things, the use of Henna is believed to bring good luck, to protect from black magic, evil spirits, etc. Besides the pre-wedding "Mehndi" party, there is also a ritual ceremony done in honor of the mother-to-be, generally applied in their 7th month. This special blessing is for the 'good health' of the baby as well as a blessing on the ease of the birthing process itself.
Even though it's doubtful that Halle is Hindu, or Muslim for that matter (but really, who knows), I can still see how she would enjoy taking part in a ritual that could bring her and the baby a little additional comfort and reassurance.
Then again, maybe she took a walk on the Santa Monica Pier last weekend and came across a carnival booth for "Henna Tattoos - $5.00".

Eh. That's what curly hair looks like when you don't straighten it.
