Tina Knowles, mother of Beyoncé, has shared a heartwarming story about how she saved the day at Destiny's Child's "No, No, No (Part 2)" music video shoot in her new memoir, "Matriarch". In the book, Tina recalled the challenging experience of being the hairstylist for the group, which comprised of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett.
The 71-year-old businesswoman wrote that each girl wanted something special, and Beyoncé's request was to have highlights for the first time. Tina had light blonde highlights in her own hair, which she would glue in as little streaks to give Beyoncé a fake platinum blonde hair.
However, things didn't go as planned. The makeup artists, Chris Maldonado and Eric Ferrell, initially froze Tina out, making her feel frustrated. But when Beyoncé referred to Tina as her "mama", the makeup artists' demeanor changed, and they confessed they had been trying to make her struggle.
Tina wrote that she and the makeup artists formed a strong friendship after that moment, but Beyoncé still needed more blonde hair. And that's when Tina found a last-minute fix. "I looked at myself in the mirror, took a little scissors, and began to cut some highlights from my own hair, just enough here and there to glue into my daughter's hair without leaving me bald-headed," she wrote.
The makeup artists were amazed by Tina's selfless act, saying that no other hairstylist would cut their own hair to complete a look. Tina's quick thinking and selflessness ultimately led to the success of the music video shoot.
"No, No, No (Part 2)" featuring Wyclef Jean was a breakthrough hit for Destiny's Child upon its 1997 release. The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the publication's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
