Okri explained that she stopped wearing them for three reasons. She noted that some human hair is believed to be sacrificed to demons, deities, and various gods. Citing practices in parts of Asia, she said many women visit temples to offer their hair in hopes of purifying themselves, shedding bad luck, poverty, and stress to start anew.
However, the sacrificed hair is often sold to vendors, and Black women purchasing these strands might unknowingly be wearing someone else’s bad luck—an idea that contradicts her Christian beliefs.
She supported her assertions by referencing scriptures from the Bible.
