Why I stopped wearing wigs, human hair – Singer, Natalie Okri
British singer of Nigerian descent, Natalie Okri has given reasons she doesn’t wear wigs or human hair of any kind anymore. In an Instagram story the singer who got popular for her rendition of Alicia Keys’ “No One” on British Got Talend show at age 9 says there’s something fetiah and diabolical about wigs and human hairs.
She says, ” There are three reasons as to why I stopped wearing wigs or human hairs: some human hairs are sacrifice to some demons, deities and different gods. Not all human hairs but some.
A lot of women from countries in Asia go to temples to sacrifice their hair to their gods believing that their god will purify them and cleanse them and they get rid of their hair as a form of getting rid of all their bad luck, poverty and every other thing that stresses them and they start anew. Also, they sacrifice their hair because they believe their god is going to bless them. So they go away to start afresh.
“In the temple they sacrifice their hair in, they take their hair and sell it off to different big vendors and we black women go to the vendors to buy these hairs and at hundreds of pounds. These women who sacrificed their hairs did so believing that they would receive blessings from their gods and that they have shedded all their bad luck and we black women are buying what they consider their bad luck. What we are doing is wearing someone’s bad luck on our heads. The thing that is scary is, you may not believe in their god but as a Christian we see them as demons and deities. And that works against what I believe in.
” Furthermore, when you are wearing somebody’s bad luck you don’t what burden or spirits you are carrying and wearing it on your head.”
Then she backs her assertions with some scriptures from the Bible.
