Wigs and Human Hair Bring Bad Luck – Singer Natalie Okri Claims

British-Nigerian singer Natalie Okri has stirred controversy by calling wigs and human hair diabolical, claiming they attract bad luck. Read more on her statement and reactions.

British singer Natalie Okri has claimed that certain human hairs are offered as sacrifices to deities and unknown gods.

The singer explained her reason for no longer wearing wigs when she made this statement.

She mentioned that in certain regions of Asia, women donate their hair at the temple as a means to purify themselves and rid themselves of bad luck and poverty.

In a video posted on her Instagram page, Natalie Okri explained that some of these human hairs are frequently sold to major vendors. She pointed out that Black women buying them could unknowingly be wearing someone else’s bad luck.

There are three reasons why I decided to stop wearing wigs and human hair: one of them being the concern that some human hairs might be offerings in religious or spiritual practices.

In certain Asian countries, many women visit temples to offer their hair as a sacrifice to their gods. They believe this ritual will purify and cleanse them, helping them shed bad luck, poverty, and other burdens in order to begin life afresh.

The temple workers collect hair and sell it to the European market or major vendors like Ali Baba, Ali Express, and various brands. Meanwhile, Black women purchase this hair from these websites for hundreds of pounds.

“We are carrying the misfortune of others. Even if you don’t share their beliefs, as a Christian, this conflicts with my faith because we view them as demons and deities.”

Natalie Okri is a British singer who gained fame in 2009 after her performance on Britain’s Got Talent.
