Personal hygiene preferences... hair, nails, trimming, shaving, bath vs shower, colognes perfumes body sprays... male and female perspectives welcome... your preferences in others as well...
Also... do you have protégés?... how do you groom them?
Sure, why not.
Hair: I just wash it as my means of grooming. A towel and some air drying has it style itself. I use a brand of Pantene that's meant for curlier hair.
Nails: They grow very fast and quite strong, so I'm usually trimming them once a week to stop my fingers from feeling weird.
Trimming: I let my hair grow for a while before having it cut, then I usually have it cut with the idea of "giving it room to grow", "being less blind", and "saving money on shampoo". I have my hair cut around twice a year on average.
Shaving: Both body and facial hair. The only place I like there being hair on me is the top of my head.
B/S: Baths are indulgent, meant to be relaxed in, so that's more of a special treat for myself. Showers are faster, more practical, and a lot more sanitary despite the increased waste of water.
Scents: I use an unscented deodorant (Dry Idea), but I did experiment a while I was in college with trying to make my own out of random things. My favorite back then was one I sarcastically called "Sexy Gingerbread".
Others: As long as there's some sort of focus on sanitation and their scent isn't awful, whatever they want to do tends to be fine.

He'd look lovely all pierced with meathooks and wrapped in macrame rope burns hanging over my dining room table.
I'd love to see him covered in hot swirls of the multicoloured wax dripping from the candles I'll set in his booty and over the surface of his back.
He can do smthg useful for me for a change and light up my dinner table.
lolwhoops. *she ;)

EDIT: Nvrmnd... read your next post... cool
Ok, I just spent nearly ten minutes typing out a reply to this, pressed 'post' and it just refreshed the page and my entire reply was lost. I will try one more time before I scream.
Showers over baths any day. Baths kinda horrify me and I don't understand the point to them. I tried a bath with epsom salts once cos everybody was going on about it and it left me feeling sticky. Yuck.
Hair: all Philip Kingsley products (shampoo, conditioner, curl cream, heat protection spray, hairspray)
Makeup: I prefer the natural look and have very sensitive skin. I use a mix of brands, mostly Bobbi Brown and Bare Minerals. For an everyday look (after moisturising etc ofc) just primer, BB cream, foundation and some mascara. I'll only get into contouring and proper eye makeup for something special. I'm allergic to all fake tan products that are widely available so have to embrace the pale look, which is not to everyone's taste but at least saves me time. Don't particularly enjoy wearing lashes and can't wait for this big brow trend to fuck off out of fashion (don't get me wrong, i think it looks great, but my own eyebrows are tiny and there's not a lot i can do to beef them up without just looking like i'm wearing too much makeup)
Perfume: Chanel no5. From the ages of around 11-19 i stuck to Coco Mademoiselle before switching to this.
Nails: I used to have v long nails but now they are weak and i have them kinda shortish and square shaped, using Nailtiques formula 2 as a base for polish. Currently loving mirror-effect although it is fiddly. For feet, pedicures are a monthly necessity because I like to run and do a lot of walking, as well as sometimes wearing shoes that fuck up my feet. I tend to stick to nude colours or light pinks cos they will go with both daytime sandals and nighttime going out shoes.
Shaving: i've had laser treatment on legs and underarms which didn't get rid of the hair completely but brought it down to normal-person levels XD. I'm going to have some more until it's almost gone, and have it on the Brazilian area (which I currently get waxed).
My preferences for men are that I don't like them too clean-shaven - a bit of stubble is nice, but maybe not a full beard. Personal hygiene is a must obvs, and long nails on men horrify me. With regards to short hair / long hair / shaven etc I have no preference.
