Totally agree.
But side question, how come condoms are so easy to sell? Not like ads showed those off, did we as humans just blatantly trust that a glove was going to stop people getting pregnant? How do we differentiate what we deem necessary to see and what not to in advertising?

Well after humans figured out that if a man ejaculates in a woman she gets pregnant they came up with rudimentary condoms made from sheep's intestines so the semenal fluid wouldn't enter the woman but obviously they weren't all that effective, over years new ones were designed, tested etc until we eventually came up with condoms that we'd recognise today and with scientific breakthroughs and advances we were able to come up with spermicide and use that in condoms too. And so, to end, thats how we know condoms work. Through testing over many many years.
It was HER decision to step down, L'Oreal didnt ask her too but they agreed and supported her decision. Did you even read the article....? Her views are of no surprise to me at all tbh and I'm glad that she stepped down. It was pointless anyway.
I saw some of the tweets, probably not all as they've been deleted now. I didn't find any anti-semitic ones, just some criticizing the Israeli government. If someone could point me to the really anti-semitic ones (that is, if someone's got screenshots or archived links or something) for proof, I'd be grateful, because what I've seen so far was a completely just criticism of Israel's government's illegal settlements.

People like to think that saying something against Israel's policies is anti Semitic. That's not true. It's not interchangeable or the same. Plus I dunno why I got downvoted just because I was correct.
@chakun, being asked to step down and being fired are not the same thing. Being asked to stepped down, means that people would very much appreciate it if you quit, but they aren't firing you, at least not yet. It's like a, "leave now on your own accord or don't, but if you don't then we might fire you"

She stepped down of her own accord, she wasn't asked to and she wasn't fired. But you are correct, being asked to step down isn't the same as being fired.
The actual campaign was a contribution of multiple voices speaking up for the products, not a "look at this shine and style you can actually only achieve with a full time stylist and strong camera lighting" campaign. Besides, for a lot of women haircare isn't just about the hair itself. It's how they keep it, how they show or don't show it, how they style it, and how they accessorize it. Lots of people wear hijabs or even non-religious headscarves as part of their regular hair care. They use shampoo and conditioner the same as everyone else. It's an advertising campaign, they're advertising to them using the voice of somebody who lives the same routine. That's how you get market share.

Yes but there's no point in promoting a product if you can't show it's effectiveness.

This is like a car ad that only shows the garage the car is in.
