Be gone, stray whisker on your mom’s chin. Adios, gnarly ear hair coming from the sides of your dad’s head. Maybe your parents don’t notice the crazy things their hair follicles are doing. Or maybe they can’t see drips and dribble spots on their clothes.  But you do, and it’s a kindness for you to do something about it.

Insist on regular visits to the get-beautiful store AKA barber shop and beauty salon. Ask the stylist to help out and trim hair and nails with extra care. If that’s not an option - BYOB. Bring your own beauty supplies to mom and dads and lovingly take care of your parent’s grooming.
