L’Oreal’s New Hair Product Campaign Features Woman In Hijab (but... you can't see their hair)

L’Oreal, one of the largest beauty supply companies in the world, will feature a woman wearing a hijab in its latest ad campaign.

Blogger and model Amena Khan, who will be featured in L’Oreal Paris’s campaign, argued that hair products should still be marketed to people who choose not to show their hair in public.

“You have to wonder — why is it presumed that women that don’t show their hair don’t look after it?” Khan asked in an interview with Vogue.

L'Oreal, one of the largest beauty supply companies in the world, will feature a woman wearing a hijab in its latest ad campaign.

Blogger and model Amena Khan, who will be featured in L'Oreal Paris's campaign, argued that hair products should still be marketed to people who choose not to show their hair in public.

"You have to wonder -- why is it presumed that women that don't show their hair don't look after it?" Khan asked in an interview with Vogue.

"The opposite of that would be that everyone that does show their hair only looks after it for the sake of showing it to others," she continued. "And that mindset strips us of our autonomy and our sense of independence."

Adrien Koskas, L'Oréal Paris UK general manager, said that L'Oreal is "proud and excited" to be launching the campaign.

"L'Oréal Paris UK are both proud and excited to be launching such a unique and disruptive campaign for the haircare market, a category which in previous years has been perceived as the cliché of beauty advertising," she said.

Twitter users quickly pointed out the absurdity of advertising hair products using women who do not show their hair.

L'Oreal contributes to the normalization of the hijab, a symbol of actual patriarchal oppression, violence & enforced modesty culture for women across the Middle East.

L'Oréal using the hijab to promote hair products, is like Neutrogena using gloves to promote hand cream #Loreal #hijab #pointless pic.twitter.com/z7rJIFCRPP

Does L'Oreal also produce make-up for women who got attacked with acid after removing the Hijab? https://t.co/kN2ZofvOY1

Heavily airbrushed photo. Probably not even her real hair there.

What independence???

Adrien Koskas, L'Oréal Paris UK general manager, said that L'Oreal is "proud and excited" to be launching the campaign.

What is it, exactly, that you are "proud" of?

L’Oreal is a French company. So it’s not hard to see where the PC pressure is coming from.

There was a muslim woman not too long ago that was on the cover of a woman’s fashion magazine. Her family killed her for it. This is the evil culture our media promotes and holds up the highest. The hatred and enslavement of women by muslims is evil and all those that go along with it.
Feminists be proud, this is who you are supporting.

Make your hair real pretty to your co-husband that you share with 3 other females so he’ll pick you to fertilize and beat up the others.

Laughable, absurd Virtue Signaling.

Note to self: No more L’Oreal products in my home.
