I shudder to think of the bombardment of beauty ads women face day in and day out. As far as I can tell, men get vastly fewer ads for hair care products etc., though I'm sure I see far more of these ads than I used to. (Heaven help me if the advertisers ever figure out that I have a full beard with grays that sometimes go haywire.) It seems to be similar for supplements, E.D. treatments, etc. — even when I've never been in the market for them. Anything to make us question our hygiene, health, attractiveness, or (im)mortality, right?
Also, I think this is a great picture of you! You look happy and full of life!
I use Brixy bar shampoo, to eliminate plastic, and I wash my hair only when it starts to feel yucky--not every day--so my natural oils nourish it. I don’t use any other hair product. Whenever I want to do something striking or unusual, I get creative with braids and twists, often depending on what I dreamed or saw the night or day before. (Did I see a fox? I make two twists for “fox ears.” Did a dream person inspire me? I mimic their hair as much as possible.)
as the owner of Very Big Curly Hair, traveling with *good* hair products is my struggle (travel size runs out in a month, my brand only sells in the USA). I refuse to use cheap, drugstore products so I usually hunt down the Aveda (or Sephora, god willing) where ever I go. I brought full size bottles of Ouidad, my usual product line, for this 3-month trip to Mexico, which includes shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and hair creme. 😅
