The reason is Niki's hair is supposed to look like "wig".
Beyonce's hair is supposed to look like "human hair growing from her scalp" even though it is a wig...

I do understand that she's not trying to fool anyone into thinking 'this green wig is my own hair', and that's completely fine, but like I've said before on this forum: 'you should do whatever you want, as long as you do it well; then even if people don't like it, they can't reasonably say that it was done badly'. Nicki's huge Bride of Frankenstein wigs were obviously wigs but they were done really well and looked quite fly in my opinion; these lace fronts look like no attention has been paid to how they're applied or how good the roots and app look; something doesn't have to look real to look good.
Nicki's fashion since she became mainstream has always been outrageous and over the top, but even if I didn't like a certain look, it always looked like effort had been put into it; there was a sophistication to the ensemble if you get what I mean. The wigs themselves aren't cheap looking, they're probably quite expensive and she does wear human hair, but the hugely thick density and the placement and then the badly handled app just make no sense to me; her make up is a LOT but it is well done, so I don't get how the person handling her make up can be so skilled and yet the person handling her hair is like 'Nicki, you know what would look good? No wig cap and then placing this justtttt above your eyebrows. Also, lets use the shiniest glue we can find'.
It just makes me sad because I think she was quite fashion-forward during her first album, but now she's slipping into the ratchet lane. I dunno, it's just something to talk about on the forum I guess, I like reading what other people think.

I think a lot of it has to do with her natural hairline, it looks like it's a low one and not very neat like a lot of women's are. (I have messy hairline myself) It's a lot harder to work with, and perhaps she's in denial and thinks her current app is good enough.

Lolll. I've never actually seen her natural hair, I've only ever seen it with a wig or on huge amounts of weave in it. I think that if she makes a few more albums, eventually one of her personas will be an au naturel, India Airee type character and she'll start wearing her natural hair and such.

Ok so I'm halfway thru watching 'Nicki Minaj: My Truth' and aside from some really diva behaviour, I saw a scene of her getting ready and honest to God she was freaking out so much and everything was so rushed and she was changing wigs like nobody's business, so I actually think that the reasons her apps are kind of whack is because she literally doesn't have the time to sit and do it properly and everything is so rushed; also if she's changing wigs after she thought she had THE wig on, then having to reapply the glue and all that jazz so soon after a previous app must not help things. So I kind of take back what I said, it 's not her fault I don't think

I think so too, she posted a photos of her hair once on twitter (well a section of it) so I think over the next few years/albums she'll have a natural side come out.
And your rushed time theory is likely a huge factor as well.

Well I was thinking it is more about not trying to convince people it is her hair. . . I think as tranny as both her & Bey look overall, Bey attempts to look more natural or realistic. Nicki isnt trying to convince anyone, she just isnt trying to come out the house with a bald head. hair, any hair is good. lol
