No Make-Up, No Purchased Hair - Are You Still Considered Beautiful?


Adriana Lima
 
The things we women go through for appearance purpose. It’s mind boggling. How necessary is all the effort? Particularly when it comes to our natural crown…our HAIR. We spend so much time, effort and money on hair products, stylists, color, weaves, braids and extensions.  Why are we doing this? To fit in? To appear attractive? Adoration? Who knows, but the point is what does a “real woman” even look like anymore? Who dictates what is deemed physically beautiful when it comes women? I doubt that it’s women who set the standards of beauty.

When I’m at home and I strip down the make-up  (I don’t wear hair pieces normally – I do own some though), who I am underneath is beautiful. Not coming from a place of EGO when I express that. Besides color, I’ve been a “natural (no keratin, weaves, relaxers)” for over 20 something years. That’s just my choice. However, I do love to dress up and show out, but I have long periods of existing with no make-up and just a ponytail.

I seriously wonder what the world would look like if no women wore any make-up or purchased hair.  Now, that would be a sight. I wonder how that would change our standard of physical beauty when it comes to women. Maybe I’ll never know :-(

In my opinion, most women seem so caught up on the media’s ideal of beauty (westernized standards with a twist of overdose on the plastic surgery), that women aren’t even comfortable with just looking “natural” anymore. I know of women who really sleep in their wigs, to avoid exposing their natural look to their significant other.  I think that is crazy, but I’m sure some of you can relate.  I have a challenge for all women. Can you do 1 week without make-up or any weaves/wigs? Can you accept your natural beauty? Can you be just as comfortable in public without the artificial beauty crutches? I challenge you to try it!!
