How women feel about different barometers used to determine beauty

I started this section to see if women feel like the beauty world is more inclusive or more narrow minded in scope. I've noticed that after my 'big chop' I expected my hair to grow out faster with pressure to get extentions of use too much heat. After visiting the beach, I had to embrace it and be more open minded to what I consider 'pretty'. I stopped comparing myself as 'light-skinned' to biracial or latin women and started to really embrace my textured locks, black nose etc.

Do you think the hyper-beauty oriented web is taking a toll on young people with the lace-fronts and lashes and all of the falsetto?

I don't normally overly retouch my modeling pictures however nowadays I'm more linkly to slather on anti-aging products and eye cream, tapping those ends with jojoba. There's so much pressure for insta-internet-fame. Will we ever go back to the days where we can step out au natural? I wonder.
