"I wish I had more hair on my head. Maybe if I sprinkled fertilizer on it, it would grow"
About this Quote
The intent isn’t to confess insecurity so much as to deflate the pressure to perform certainty. Hair, in fashion, is a proxy for youth, health, and camera-readiness; admitting you want “more” hair is admitting the body is a project, not a finished product. The fertilizer punchline turns that admission into slapstick, making the desire legible without sounding needy. It’s a neat rhetorical dodge: she gets to name the demand (thicker hair) while also mocking the idea that there’s a simple consumer fix for what’s essentially genetic luck and industry preference.
The subtext is a quiet critique of beauty culture’s DIY promises. Fertilizer is the wrong tool, hilariously so, echoing how often beauty advice veers into pseudo-science and desperate hacks. Coming from a model, it also humanizes the job: even the people paid to embody “having it all” are still bargaining with biology, flirting with absurd solutions, and trying to stay funny about it.
