"Viola Davis is letting it all hang loose!The Help&amp;apos;s Best Actress nominee, 46, went au naturel Thursday -- ditching her wig at the 5th Annual ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon.\r\n\r\nHer inspiration? &amp;quot;My husband (actor Julian Tennon) wanted me to take the wig off,&amp;quot; she told In Style. &amp;quot;He said, &amp;apos;If you want to wear it for your career, that&amp;apos;s fine, but in your life wear your hair. Step into who you are!&amp;apos; It&amp;apos;s a powerful statement.&amp;quot;\r\nDavis&amp;apos; husband isn&amp;apos;t her only family member to have an opinion on her look.\r\n\r\nDaughter Genesis, 18 months, (who she and Tennon adopted in October) &amp;quot;had to get used to me because black girls, sometimes we wear wigs and weaves,&amp;quot; the actress has remarked. &amp;quot;The first time I took my wig off with her, she was like, &amp;apos;Nooo!&amp;apos; She literally did that.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nStill, Davis, isn&amp;apos;t sure whether or not she&amp;#x2019;ll stick with her natural roots. &amp;quot;I think I&amp;apos;ll change it up every once in a while,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;It gives me flavor. It makes me feel like I&amp;#x2019;m spicing my life up a bit.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
