Since leaving the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama have been living their best lives. They've been spotted on beach vacations, in Soul Cycle classes in Washington, D.C., and at fancy dinners at some of New York's best restaurants. And the Internet has been loving every moment of it — including the latest, a snapshot of former first lady Michelle Obama's natural hair.

Although we don't know many details around Obama's decision to embrace her gorgeous hair — e.g., where she was off to and what prompted her to switch up her usual blowout — we do have a photo to gaze at. In the picture, you can see Obama's natural hair pulled back in a gray-and-white, polka-dot headband and tied into a loose ponytail. You can also see that, as usual, her skin is glowing and her arms are ripped, setting a new bar for retirement. Post-employment has never looked so good.

During her tenure as first lady, Obama consistently wore her hair in a relaxed blowout at various lengths, though her stylist Johnny Wright told The Root in 2015 that she'd been "natural" for seven years. This is the first time she's been publicly spotted with her curls, which Twitter didn't miss. Many users took the opportunity to commend Obama on wearing her natural hair.

"I KNOW @MichelleObama WAS TIRED OF ALL THOSE SILK PRESSES!!! THANKFUL SHE CAN FINALLY FLOURISH WITH HER NATURAL HAIR❤❤💕💕💕 YOU DESERVE IT," wrote one user on Twitter.

Some had been waiting years for this moment, and were hoping to see the former FLOTUS wearing natural hair while still in office. "@MichelleObama please wear your natural hair before you leave the White House. Show that it's okay for our young women #FirstLady," wrote one person on Twitter back in December.

"Seeing Michelle Obama wear her hair natural while serving as First Lady... would've made my whole life," wrote another.
