One of the pitfalls of life in the 21st century is that we are constantly being bombarded by advertises determined to give us reasons for buying their products. They have to make us think we need what they are selling.
Women with straight hair are told they need permanents to make their hair curly. Women with curly hair are advised to by hair straighteners. Women with light skin are told to buy instant bronzers or encouraged to risk sunburn and worse by visiting tanning salons. Breast enhancement surgery and breast reduction surgery are both pedaled as being the answers to stagnant social lives.
The simple fact is that if we learn to be happy with ourselves as we are lots of personal care industries would shut down and take their advertisers with them. Until that happens, many women will spend their lives thinking that they need to add to, or take away, what nature gave them.
The Unwanted Hair Problem
The obsession with appearance even extends to body hair. Women naturally grow more facial hair as they age and their hormonal balances shift, and with the Baby Boomer generation now entering retirement age, there are millions of women struggling with unwanted hair. A new market for hair removal techniques has arisen, and there have been, of course, new methods developed to satisfy it.
