According to pooyaland, the officers' real problem wasn't her hair. It was what her hair signified.
. In a video for the campaign that can be seen on both YouTube and social media, Mohseni recounts her arrest and declares that"hair is the most visibly transformative part of your body."
In Mohseni's case, that is especially true. It's through her hair — and her arrest for it — that her life ultimately changed. After her parents paid a fine and signed a document promising to cut Mohseni's hair to an"appropriate length," they realized that if they wanted their daughter to thrive, she had to leave Iran. Nine months later, she moved to New York City, where she still lives and works as an actor, writer, filmmaker, and activist.
The day Mohseni arrived in New York, she started growing out her hair without fear."By that point, I had no question that transitioning would be the first thing that had happened after I left Iran," Mohseni says."The first and one thing I could do, because I couldn’t start hormone therapy yet or even buy women’s clothes, was grow out my hair. There was nothing else I could control.
According to Mohseni, growing out your hair is one of the rare, free things that can help a transitioning individual feel more like themselves."Do you know how liberating that is when we have to ask permission for so many things?" Mohseni says."We live in a world where gender has markers. When you are trying to express yourself in the gender that you see yourself, it’s the easiest and most visible part of that transition.
The Pantene ad — which Mohseni says would have made her teenage self"lose her mind" — launched just this week, and she's already received positive feedback from LBGTQ+ individuals in Iran, where homosexuality remains

Billie Razor Ad With Pubic Hair Makes Not Shaving About Shaving“Red, White, and You Do You” is the tagline of the latest marketing campaign for Billie, just one of the crop of new, trendy hair removal companies for women. The ad features a diverse group of women, some who have armpit hair or pubic hair visible against the outline of their swim suits. The images do not show any actual razors, and it’s the company’s first ad to show pubic hair. Already the choice is being hailed as brave and paradigm-shifting, but I’m confused. Am I supposed to shave my pubes or not? I guess I have to buy Billie razors either way?
