He advised women to embrace a lifestyle that would attract their likes.
According to Dr King, a woman who wears make-up and uses expensive hair can never marry a poor man.
He explained that lazy men would generally go for low budget ladies.
His words:
“The disadvantage of not wearing make-up and expensive hair is that you’ll end up with lazy men.
“These men specifically target low budget ladies.”
Meanwhile, according to an article on skin craft laboratories, some make-up contains harmful chemicals.
This has made the daily use of it unhealthy for a lot of women.
