#ZozibiniTunzi MissUniverse #SouthAfrica #NaturalHair For the  first time in history , Miss Universe is a woman with  natural hair . On Sunday, Miss South Africa  Zozibini Tunzi  won the crown with her beautiful short, Afro-textured hair — and she did it despite being told by "a lot of people" that she should wear a wig.

For months rumors had been swirling in the press and on Britney fan sites that the 38-year-old m...
