African Women Wearing Wigs Have Low Self-Esteem-Nigerian Actress
During a recent interview in Lagos, Nigerian actress Taiwo Ajai-Lycett expressed her strong disapproval towards African women who opt for foreign hair in the form of wigs.
She opined that God has blessed African women with the best kind of hair of all races and wondered aloud why African women would rather go for human hair of less endowed races.
“We have been blessed with the best kind of hair that we can transform into any kind of looks we desire.
“We have to love ourselves as Africans and appreciate our God-given beauty. Our Africanness is what stands us out among all the races of the world. The African woman is beautiful in all ramifications. I believe women who go for wigs and human hair have low self-esteem. Their desire to look western and foreign is a sign of low self-esteem,” she said.
The actress and unwavering feminist further highlighted the significance and contribution of women in society, affirming that women are the wellspring of life and innovation. She stressed that for any system to function harmoniously, women must be acknowledged and treated with reverence and empathy.
“If you want your life to be in order and successful, be kind to the women in your life. It is when the women in your life are happy that you can truly be happy. By women, I mean your mother, your wife, your sister or as the case may be,” she said.
