Whoa! Obviously they didn’t get Taylor in that study!

Whoa, yourself! How many hair gels do you have, Harrison? And I always see you combing your hair.

Hey! That’s so not fair. I play football. I wear a helmet. I get helmet-head.

Some people groom A LOT. Some people groom too little.

No matter how much grooming you do, we’re here to cover the basics so you can avoid embarrassing moments like, “Where is that smell coming from?” And, “Is that dandruff or did I see something moving in your hair?” And even, “Uhhh, there’s some spinach in your teeth… which we ate yesterday.”

Personal hygiene is taking care of yourself so you are (relatively) germ-free (we all have some germs), so you don’t smell,

and so you look presentable and approachable.

Nice.

Also called “grooming,” your personal hygiene habits keep you looking good, feeling good and contribute to your overall health.

So let’s get into the main grooming issues we all face.

    My mom has discussed personal hygiene with me. She taught me as I grow older I will get mature and my body will start changing and smelling so I take my personal hygiene serious because I want to be clean.
