May 28, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, has stated that there is nothing wrong about ladies keeping a simple lifestyle, from their dressing to make up and choice of hair style.
The actress took to social media to express her views about keeping it simple instead of the glamorous and flamboyant lifestyle that most ladies aim at.
She revealed that she has been wearing more of corn-rows for quite a while now. She added that she feels “her more authentic self whenever she wears braids, cornrows and wear her hair out.”
Stating further, she said she believes in living a simple lifestyle. Her clothes, hairstyle and general lifestyle must be simple.
She advised those who live a simple lifestyle to look beyond the stereotype and embrace the way they choose to live their life because there is nothing bad about it.
“I’ve been wearing cornrows lately on purpose. I feel my most authentic self when I wear braids, cornrows, plait or when I wear my hair out.
“If you’ve followed me closely, you’d know what I mean. You’d know this is not new. In general, I believe in keeping it simple. Whether it’s from my cloth to my hair and lifestyle.
“I’m saying this because every now and then, someone tries to turn the word simple to something negative as though it’s something I should be ashamed of.
“So, I Adesua Etomi-Wellington am here holding it down for the simple girls or the ones who rock cornrows every now and then, the minimalist.
“I hope you look at me and feel that this cornrows our ancestors wore are still a thing to be proud of. I hope you see me and rock yours with pride if your want to. But above all, may you know that you are more than your hair no matter how you choose to wear it.
“And more than your clothes no matter the style you choose to wear. I do this for the girls deemed too simple. There is not a single thing wrong with simplicity. We may be simple but there is not a simple thing about us. Raise your glass if you are a simple girl.
“This isn’t about style and hair as much as it is about being yourself. Saying this so you stop questioning who you are. Embrace it, it’s ok. It’s more than ok, it’s great”.
