Our hair\u2014or sometimes the absence of hair\u2014gives us an opportunity to express our unique selves. And while the choices we make are personal, they can speak volumes to the outside world. It got us thinking. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is the value of a haircut?<\/p>\n<p>That question is rhetorical of course, but it opened up an internal dialogue about self-expression and why it\u2019s so important for the beauty industry to elevate the individual. It\u2019s why we chose inclusivity as the theme of our inaugural issue.<\/p>\n<p>Inclusivity is a hot topic in beauty right now as there\u2019s a lot of work to be done to get to a place where everyone feels that their needs are being heard. Especially when it comes to the types of products available. Prose Director of Research &amp; Development says it best in \u201cWhen Beauty Gets Personal.\u201d She comments on how the beauty industry got to a place where we thought we were helping people by creating segmented products but, we just ended up putting people into boxes based on hair type or ethnicity. The opposite of what inclusivity in beauty should be.<\/p>\n<p>But beauty, whether it\u2019s in the form of a haircut or a shampoo, isn\u2019t just about tailoring to the individual\u2014it\u2019s about appreciating what makes us all unique.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we wanted our first issue to honor you, and whatever that might mean. Through open conversation and personal stories, we hope to highlight the great strides we\u2019ve made in allowing for individuality and also to shed light on where we need to see change. Our goal is to bring people together through their uniqueness, and although that might sound like an oxymoron, we\u2019re determined to make it work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6756 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.prose.com\/uploads\/2019\/12\/unnamed-2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"443\" height=\"231\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Interested in checking out Prose?
