Nollywood star Yul Edochie is making headlines again, this time with a piece of advice for women ahead of the festive season. Taking to his Facebook page, the often-controversial actor urged ladies not to feel pressured into purchasing expensive wigs, emphasizing that natural beauty and self-confidence should take precedence.
“Ladies, if you cannot afford expensive hair this season, don’t kill yourself,” Edochie wrote. “Wash your natural hair very well and weave it all back. You’re still going to look very beautiful and proudly African.”
The actor’s message resonated with many of his followers, as he went on to highlight that a woman’s value isn’t determined by her hairstyle but by the “content of her brain.” This sentiment sparked a mix of reactions online, with some praising his focus on self-worth and others questioning the need for unsolicited advice.
Edochie’s statement aligns with his history of making bold remarks on societal expectations. Recently, he encouraged women to take charge in relationships by proposing to their partners if they felt the men were “wasting time.” According to him, breaking away from traditional norms could empower women and redefine modern relationships.
