Renowned and timeless performer Taiwo Ajai-Lycett has criticized African women who use wigs to enhance their beauty, stating that it reflects a lack of self-esteem.
The seasoned actress, broadcaster, and recipient of the National Honours Award expressed this view during an intimate conversation with Potpourri at an event in Lagos.
She emphasized that African women are blessed with the most exquisite hair among all races, questioning why they would opt for hair from 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 tireless actress and unwavering feminist underscored the significance and contribution of women in society, affirming that women serve as the wellspring of life and creation.
She insisted that for any semblance of order, due consideration must be given to women, treating them with respect and compassion.

“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 advises.
