Veteran actress, Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha, released a 100% natural photograph of herself to encourage ladies still rocking their natural hair in a world that has been polluted with numerous brands of artificial hair.
The 37-year-old actress took to Instagram on Wednesday morning as she shared a makeup and artificial hair free photo of herself with a word of encouragement to the team natural ladies. See her post below:
This one is just to encourage MA sisters who are on this natural hair journey with me. Don’t give up! Whether you are transitioning or you’re not just feeling the hair now, just be patient. Enjoy every moment of it. Love your hair like you’d love a boo. Treat it right, talk to it, water it, keep it moisturized always, find natural products that are good for your hair type (you can never go wrong with Shea butter and coconut oil), learn to take care of your hair yourself and if you need to visit a good natural hair salon, do so and learn from them. Ask questions too. I’d easily recommend two salons: Yellow Sisi and O Naturals. Buy products you can trust. I use @naturalnigerian and @cremeofnatureproducts for natural hair.
Again, the key is to find the products that work well for your hair type. Took me a while to but the secret is to follow your instincts. It is a lifestyle so you have to be ready.
I will be sharing tips and taking questions from time to time here. My natural hair page would be up soon so stay tuned as I’d be sharing my journey with you there.
