Bianca Belair was recently interviewed by the Miami Herald. During the interview, Bianca spoke on a wide variety of topics.
The most interesting part of the interview was when Bianca spoke about her hair. She ended up revealing how her hair whip move came to be.
Here is what she said (h/t to Wrestling INC for the quotes below):
“When I first started, I was trying to figure out who I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, and how I was going to stand out. I had an idea of wearing a long braid. I looked around and saw no one else had a hairstyle like that. I was going back and forth, ‘Do I want to just wear my hair down, have waves, curls, like everyone else or do I want to wear this braid?’ So, my husband (Montez Ford) was the one who told me ‘No, you need to keep that braid. It makes you stand out.’ He pushed me towards that. At first, it was just this thing of just standing out and I was actually in the ring, he was watching and he told me that, ‘I could probably use that braid in the ring.’
“One day I was in the with Sarah [Stock], my [NXT Coach], she asked me, ‘Can you hit [your opponent] with it?’ That was the first time I tried it and that’s when I realized I can actually use this thing in the ring. The first person I actually used it on was Ruby Riott in California. It was the first time it ever made the noise. That’s when it all started and has never stopped since then.”
