Unilever is to drop the word 'normal' from it's beauty products.

For example Shampoo for Normal to dry hair may become for dry or damaged hair. My hair is neither dry or greasy. Why would I want a product for damaged hair To me, that is over dyed hair that has become brittle.

My skin nowadays probably leans towards dryness but I wouldn't necessarily want a product for dry skin as it may be too rich for my skin.

Wokeness again denying that there are all sorts of types.

I heard this and at the time I thought that 'normal' would probably become 'regular'.

Ordinary old hair, just sort of average.

Perhaps they should be honest and replace 'Normal' with 'Bog standard' :-D

In reality. what is 'Dry' hair?

My hair is dry when it's not wet. Surely they mean those with spit ends?

I think dry means not particularly oily/greasy.

You can't feed your hair because it is dead, you can only leave some products on it to make it look good.

Would normal become boring?
