MY NATURAL HAIR IDOLS - SOPHIE OKONEDO

One of my favorite hair idols is Sophie Okonedo.

We all know her from such movies as Ace Ventura, Hotel Rwanda (one of the best movies!), Aeon Flux and Secret Life of Bees. She is a gorgeous British actress with beautiful natural hair.

I first noticed her natural hair in Ace Ventura (When Nature Calls) way back in 1995 when I was just starting high school.  I had a relaxer but it was refreshing to see a black actress with braided natural hair on the big screen.

Ever since then I have admired her 'naturalness' and will to remain natural in an industry did not want to showcase her kinks, curls, and curls.

Anyway, I love her hair.  It makes her unique and adds to her sweet personality.  Even as time moves on, her natural hair  makes her look even more youthful and vibrant.  She wears so many gorgeous styles and has been every single length in the book of lengths!  She is definitely rocking some awesome natural hair.  Don't you agree?



She also has excellent style!
