    Okay, this is entirely not true. I mean, I get it as a meme, but I have to say that while there’s a lot of variability between people, both men and women, as to things like fullness and texture of hair, smoothness and texture of skin, and so on, the 6 in 1 kinds of people tend to be the same kinds of people that were posted in the (seen here).

    Seriously, watch a couple of seasons of Queer Eye and you will get it. Probably in multiple senses of the term.

      It’s definitely not true for the 23 in 1 products but as a man who used to have long hair I used just shampoo, no conditioner and I got compliments and questions about why my hair is so nice. It’s probably more of an accidental “less is more” scenario for hair care. And as I say that the people I’ve seen with the absolute best hair have all been women.

        While it’s probably true you were gifted with naturally fabulous hair, doing hair and skin care that complements and enhances it is like Taylor Swift putting on makeup. She’s absolutely stunning without it, but when she’s professionally made up she (or just about anyone else) automatically levels up.

        You should rock what’s working for you, but I wouldn’t advise against treating yourself to some salon care and getting advice if you want something different.

          Literally every single person in a Salon in every Salon everywhere has different advice. Almost all of it is all Hoodoo Voodoo Astrology.
