In a recent interview with Fashionista.com, Gabby’s mother, Natalie Hawkins , says that this wasn’t the first time her daughter’s hair had come up.
“At this level in her career, hair is somewhat secondary. It was actually her coach who told me that. I was trying to get her into a hair appointment and I wanted to move her training schedule around and he said to me, ‘She’s beautiful. You don’t need to change her hair. We need to focus on training. Hair is secondary. We make time for that after training. Don’t mess with my training time.’ ”
