My column is dedicated to telling it like it is. I will always give you the best information available to me or the best advice I can. I will be upfront and never hide the truth from you.

The one thing I will not do is you homework. I will try and point you towards the answer or help you find the answers you looking for. Ultimately you will have to find the answer yourself.

So basically my sister went to a hair salon and 5 minutes into the hair styling the lady was criticizing my sisters hair and giving her hair tips on how to improve it. My sister didnt take offense to that cause it was just hair tips. then all of a sudden they lady asked my sister how many times a day she showers, she said once but twice if shes out the whole day, the lady said shes a women she needs to be showering twice a day and that starting now as homework she must shower twice a day. So a couple days later the lady calls my dad to speak to my sister my dad was kind of weirded out by it but gave the phone to my sister, the lady asked my sister if shes done the homework she has asked her to do my sister compeletly forgot what it was so the lady reminded her that the homework was to shower twice a day. My sister said she does when shes out the whole day and the women got mad and said no you must shower twice a day. So my mom found out and was pissed she said that, that women was using code to say my sister smelled bad, my dad was denying it saying no she was just giving my sister womanly advice and then my mom got even more mad and said how dare she tell my daughter to shower twice a day and then call her to make sure she is doing that, shes basically telling her she smells!!!. Anyways i was wondering if someone said that to you do you think its code for them telling you that you smell or do they just genuinely feel like giving advice, also if you are a mother or a father how would you feel if a hairstylist said this to your child and then called a couple days later to make sure your child was doing what they said?

The hairstylist was out of line telling your sister she had to shower twice a day and them calling to see if she was doing so. I'm sure her heart was in the right place still it was not her place to say something to your sister especially if their only relationship is as customer and stylist.

Now is telling your sister to shower twice a day a code word for telling her she has body odor. I would certainly take it to mean that. If anyone were to know if your sister has body odor it would be you and your family. It would be your place to tell her as a family member if it were the case.

Now there are some nationalities that even though they shower daily they do not use scented soaps or deodorants. They have natural body odors that some people find offensive but not people of their own kind. To them it is natural.

Like anything else there is good body odor and bad body odor. The bad washes away with any soap and water leaving the good behind though it can still be offensive.

The short answer to your question is: The stylist was wrong and yes I feel it was a code word. The rest of what I've written is just to justify these last few sentences.

(Rating: 4) No everyone in my family uses scented soaps and deoaderants if we dont my mom would get pissed off.yes you are right the hairstylist was out of line because we barely know her, i would understand if she was a family friend, or a family member but shes not. My mom is going to call her and ask her why she felt the need to call my sister. anyways thanks for the opinion!
