Reader discretion is advised! (Lol...I watch too many movies). Seriously though we are going to pick every "hair strand" on this topic so brace up folks ;D. As simplified as this topic might sound, it has caused more harm than is imaginable (World War II & things! Hehehe).
It is a sad realization to note that a lot of people merely "mimic" this act without justly doing so, or what is the essence of taking a shower & still walking around with a stench! As an adult male/female, you should be well aware that it is your responsibility to "effectively" carry out your daily hygiene, regardless of social strata, sparing the Universe unnecessary discomfort *rme*. Why don't we dissect this from a gender perspective...sounds good? (We were forewarned o :D).
Ladies! Ensuring your privates are clean & odor-free is not a crime to humanity! Invest in feminine care, floss daily, go for regular check-ups to stay in tune with what is going on in "there", refresh at intervals throughtout the day especially at that time of the month as doing so once will not make the cut. It really isn't just about outward appearance (never has FYI)...what is going on inside is just as important if not more! Please grooming yourself in public is a no-no (x10), it is both uncivil and disturbing...your mannerisms are what states if you are a lady without doing so. That weave does not need to be unkempt or stay on your head forever! If no money for a redo, abeg go natural (guys are totally into that *wink*). Manicure & Pedicure should be a norm and not just reserved for special occasions! Pamper yourself to a spa treat, detox, spritz on that soft & flowery fragrance (P.S: this is #keeping your man 101...you can thank me later). Ofcourse there would be bad hair days, but rock that look as best you can or better still just "hibernate" on those days ;p. Remember you aren't just doing this for you but also for the well being of those around you...it is absolutely worth the hassle.
Guys! You can quit laughing now...its your turn! *smirk*. I still can't figure out where the misconception of it being cool for a guy to have a little odour "manly smell" came from! Ofcourse you can't be walking around smelling like Cinderella but kindly erase that myth...a disgusting one at that for the sake of humanity! (Yes...I have zero chill on this o). You are not doing anyone a favour by deciding to leave your privates "primitive"...please take that hair off. If you must keep an Isrealite beard kindly spare your fellow humans the sight & keep it groomed, flossing goes with brushing it isn't optional, invest in those products...you won't lose an arm & a leg doing so! There is nothing sexier than a well groomed man with a nice fragrance *drifts into dreamland*...yes, that is not where the world ends but is comes pretty close! Hehehe. This might also come as news to some, but regularly having a manicure & pedicure is very necessary (without the nail polish o...Hehehe) & not just a feminine thing. Same goes for a spa massage.
After all said and done, it is without emphasis to say that "Looking good is good business" which includes INWARDLY! Till our next gist column...Stay fresh folks!
