Gospel musician, Sonnie Badu
Ghanaian gospel musician cum preacher Sonnie Badu has sparked controversy with his recent statements on women’s hair choices, particularly the use of wigs.
Speaking recently during a sermon at the RockHill Church, the US-based Ghanaian preacher asked women to embrace their natural hair, warning that excessive reliance on wigs could have spiritual consequences.
Dr. Badu emphasised that a woman’s natural hair holds sacred significance, and covering it with synthetic or human hair wigs might lead to the loss of “glory.”
He cautioned that lots of women unknowingly block their spiritual blessings by consistently wearing wigs instead of embracing the natural beauty given to them by God.
“There is a glory that comes with being natural. Some of you don’t even know the origin of the wigs you wear on your head, yet you wear them daily without understanding the spiritual implications. Young ladies, learn to love your natural hair,” Dr. Badu passionately stated during his sermon.
He further emphasised on the potential spiritual risks associated with wigs, especially those made from human hair.
“Some of you want real human hair, but do you know whose head that hair was on? Some of you get it from India, where they don’t worship the God, you worship. Sometimes, the hair is cut as a sacrifice to their gods, and after the sacrifice, the hair is gathered and sold for profit,” he explained.
Sonnie Badu later shared excerpts of his sermon with the caption, “Whose hair are you really wearing? Did you pray over it? Did you cleanse that wig?”
While some congregants and online supporters have backed his message of self-acceptance and natural beauty, others have rubbished it, arguing that wearing wigs is a personal choice and should not be tied to spirituality.
To further buttress his claim, Sonnie Badu shared an Al-Jazeera documentary about Indian women selling their hair for money on his Facebook page with the caption, “Knowledge is light.”
