Because your hair is not just decoration—it is declaration. It shapes how you see yourself, how others see you, and even how destiny unfolds.

Did the guitar-playing guru personify the violence that the rock counterculture inflicted on America? Or did his music diagnose the dehumanizing effects of that society’s broken institutions?

Que serait un grand film sans son grand méchant ? Un mauvais film selon Jérémie Gallen, créateur de la chaîne YouTube Va te faire suivre. Si ces méchants nous fascinent autant, c'est peut-être parce qu'ils sont l'incarnation d'une partie de notre personnalité.
