Nollywood actresses shaving their heads to properly depict a role in a movie is definitely not something new in the industry. So, it wasn’t a huge surprise when it was reported that Chika Ike received a whopping five million Naira cheque to do the deed for her new role in “Moment of Tears”.

However, back in 2011, BN took a little trip into the history of hair shaving in Nollywood {click here} and carried out a mini-survey to find out how many people would shave off all their hair for art, style or money.

With a larger percentage of the substantial votes saying that they would indeed shave their hair, I’m sure we’ll be seeing more actresses going bald for roles; because sometimes, bald caps just don’t suffice.

Here are some photos of other actresses that have been paid to shave their hair for movie roles.
