I love Helia’s voice especially. I could listen to her for hours. I adore her gorgeous hair, which I’m glad she wears free. She is probably one of the most astonishingly beautiful women in the broadcast media, a delight to behold!
Helia is beautiful and a try shining light, we don’t see nearly enough of her on TV. As for her hair it’s the perfect frame for a gorgeous face.
She has beauty and brains! And why on earth should she hide her glorious crown of hair!
Go girl, go!
I enjoy Helia Ebrahimi’s analyses, economic outlooks, and general presentation on Channel 4 News. It is such a shame about her hair-
which detracts, in my opinion, from her intelligent broadcasting – she is not advertising shampoo, and she is pretty enough already.
. She could tie it back into a serious shape, leaving her audience to concentrate on her skill as journalist.
