‘Nappily Ever After’:
So, what led Sanaa to make such a drastic change to her look? Since Sanaa is a talented actress, there’s definitely a reason for the decisions. Apparently, Sanaa has undergone so many changes because she’s filming a new movie. Although not many details have been revealed about the upcoming film, there are a few tidbits we can tell you. Sanaa Lathan is reportedly starring in a new Netflix film adaptation of Trisha R. Thomas’ best-selling novel, Nappily Ever After.

Here’s a synopsis of the film:
“A woman named Violet (played by Sanaa Lathan) with a seemingly flawless life — a great job, a handsome boyfriend who’s a doctor, and a meticulously maintained coiffure. But after an accident at the hair salon, each of these things starts to unravel, and Violet begins to realize that she was living the life she thought she was supposed to live, not the one that she really wanted. She starts to put the pieces back together with a little help from a soulful barber and his young daughter. Violet finds the courage to cast off some of the things that she didn’t really need, starting with the perfectly straightened hair, and find a life that has real meaning.”
Celebrity hairstylist, Larry Sims, has also shared details about the film and Sanaa’s new look. He recently took to Instagram to offer fans a quick peek at what they can expect from the film. “We are creating some black girl hair magic on this film,” he said. “It’s going to be really good, and the message is really amazing. It’s near and dear to my heart, and I know that women around the world will be able to relate to Violet, aka Sanaa Lathan for ‘Nappily Ever After.’”

Based on the changes to her hair, alone, the movie already looks like it’ll be another big success for Sanaa, because she opted to skip the prosthetics route and go all out. Respect! Right now, the release date for Nappily Ever After has yet to be confirmed.
