Now, as Sha’Carri Richardson is relaxing during her off-season, she has chosen a subtle hair look. She recently shared a picture of her sitting in her car via Instagram.

"Hey y’all."
Sha’Carri Richardson made headlines by throwing off her wig at the 2023 US National Championships
Sha’Carri Richardson faced a series of difficulties in her personal and professional lives in 2021 and 2022 that indirectly affected her athletic performance.
However, she made a stronger comeback in the 2023 season by competing in the 100m race at the US National Championships.
While she was standing with other runners at the start of the racetrack, she performed an unexpected gesture. Before the whistle blew, Richardson quickly took off her iconic orange wig and threw it off.
She later won the race by clocking 10.82 seconds, which paved her way for the 2023 World Athletics Championships.
More than her victory, Richardson’s wig throw-off gesture gained massive attention, and the athlete explained why she did it after the race:
"I want to show you guys that I am still that girl, but I am better. I am still that girl, but I am stronger. I am still that girl, but I am wiser. So I had to shed old and present the new."
