Going by the publicity stunt that Nollywood actresses pull by shaving their hair, it is worrisome that the act rather than the strength of the film is being promoted.
Years back, Stella Damasus starred in the movie Widow which required her to shave off her hair, the strength in her movie character gave the flick an instant hit, rather than the fact that she removed her hair completely.
Another actress, Uche Jumbo achieved the same feat when she featured in the movie, Holding Hopes. In these two instances, the movies spoke volume without necessarily playing on the bald head. But in recent time, some Nollywood actresses have gone the hair shaving way, making it look like a fad.
It is funny how some of them have said boastfully that they were paid as much as N5 million to get rid of what in reality could have been a falling hair.
