[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s really sad how the beauty industry has gotten their claws into so many young women, who really don’t need all these products at all. [/quote]

NP. Agree. I am reading this thread with interest. Everyone is shocked at OP’s daughter, but I am hearing the same from my DD.  Her friends are getting their hair colored/highlighted and yes they spend $400 on this. Nails, waxing, skin care, gym memberships. It’s a fortune to have a teen girl. I say no to hair coloring  (ridiculous), but I do hear “everyone does it!” She pays for her own nails. What a world we live in.

Waxing?   I get everything else but I didn’t know this was a thing,    I say no to the nails because she can just do it herself. Everything else is expensive and has gotten worsen [/quote]

Nothing is wrong with these things individually (especially waxing), but when girls do all of these beauty treatments and habits on top of each other, then it feel like they are living in a bubble of excess and privilege. It’s creating unreasonable expectations and it’s encouraging a vapid approach to life. [/quote]
