In the photo she shared with fans Thursday, the actress poses to the side in a black bra and slip, with her natural hair pulled up into a high ponytail and her skin glowing. "The other day after I took out my braids before we put them back in," she captioned the snap. "I keep it natural underneath. #NaturalHair #NoFilter #NoMakeup #JustMe. I love fake hair. It's one of the great joys of my life. As an actress and a woman I love being able to transform, to switch up my look when I want to with wigs, weaves and bundles a plenty. I love this too. It's about choices and options." See Laverne Cox Completely Slay in the First Teaser for Rocky Horror It also doesn't hurt that Cox is simply stunning—inside and out. Was this page helpful?
