How does Vice President Kamala Harris keep her bob looking silky smooth? The answer shocked Keke Palmer.
In the latest episode of “Baby, It’s Keke,” the actress and new mom ventured to the White House for an in-depth sitdown discussion with Harrison on the state of maternal and women’s health in the country.
It’s a conversation worth listening to in full, but eventually, it turned to lighter topics, as the actress switched gears to ask the vice president how often she gets a silk press — and Palmer was left gobsmacked by Harris’ answer.

“Girl, you have us shook on the internet,” Palmer said. “You and Queen Latifah are going neck-and-neck with the silk presses.”
