I've been doing research far and wide on Google about skin bleaching and came across so many blogs and articles asking if India's ads are racist.
K let me tell you this, I've seen their ads. I've seen the horrible view on skin bleaching.
BUT it's not racist.
There's a difference between racism and discrimination.
It's horrible how even the big wigs of news can get that wrong.
Racism - against other races/nationality.
Discrimination - against anything like sexuality, weight, hair color, eye color, etc.
Racism is toward a whole race that they hate. Discrimination is against something that isn't race related but related to other factors you might hate.
Now, I'm sure you guys have seen India's lightening ads?
No? Then watch here:
*You could also search up more or I'll try to remember to update this with more videos. :]

Hair trimming fact and myth
MYTH: Trimming your hair makes your hair grow out faster.
FACT: Your hair grows the same length every month regardless of trimming.
A lot of people think that trimming your hair causes your hair to grow out faster. That it encourages it to grow. Don't you think that when you cut your hair and it grows, by the time it grows to the same length before you cut it, you'd have to cut it again? Just saying.
Anyways. Hair usually grows the same length every month. Some things can cause your hair to grow out faster like eating healthy, taking vitamins, and massaging your head. To people, since they cut their hair to a shorter length, they watch out for growth. You can notice hair growth when it's shorter than longer. Like say, if your hair was down to your shoulders and you cut it to below your ears. You'll notice the growth because it's so obvious. Once your hair reaches to the middle of your back, you barely notice any growth. Hell, I barely realized my hair grew down to my hips.

Hair Problem
I have this hair problem where my hair gets really oily really fast at the roots BUT it's pretty dry at the ends.
I have long hair so that's a problem for me, I want to keep my hair long.
Another problem is that sometimes I get these little tiny white balls that are hard in my hair. No, it's not lice, trust me. Sometimes they are the ends of my roots. So sometimes my loose hairs that I'm shedding (sounds pretty gross) stays in my head of hair and just chill. I shed A LOT, no joke. My boyfriend always bitches about my hair being everywhere haha
I've Googled everywhere for answers and here are some things I found out and that has worked for me.
