Today I was in the salon getting a haircut and as I washed my hair, I looked around. All I saw was women replacing their natural beauty with something artificial. It was stunning to see women with beautiful curly hair spend hours there just to get it pulled and straightened in order to look like the women on magazines. Seeing that made me wonder; what happened to wanting to be unique? I mean if there were only one color in the world things would be pretty boring right? So why is everyone trying to look the same? Recently some big companies such as Dove have been trying to promote this same idea by not editing the pictures they use in their advertisements and using average looking people for their TV commercials. I strongly agree with what they are doing, I think women should be proud of how they look and go to the beauty salon to improve their looks not to completely change it. The marketing technique Dove uses should be used more often because it not only promotes looking natural but it also makes the customers more comfortable with how they look. There should be no reason for women to think they have to spend hours in the beauty salon to look good.
