warning The "Cut My Hair" Trap
In English, there is a big difference between doing something yourself and paying someone else to do it. If you say, "I cut my hair yesterday," native speakers will think you used scissors and did it yourself! If a barber did it, you must say, "I got my hair cut."

Lesson Summary & Review
Let's review the key concepts covered in the interactive module above to ensure you are ready to talk about personal care.
Product Categories
Haircare vs. Skincare: Use Shampoo and Conditioner on your hair, but use a Cleanser and Moisturizer on your face.
Deodorant vs. Antiperspirant: Both are used under the arms, but deodorant only masks the smell, while antiperspirant stops the sweat.
Perfume vs. Cologne: Generally, Perfume is used to describe women's fragrances, and Cologne is used for men's.
Grammar Reminder
Pay close attention to who is performing the action! If you go to a salon, you do not "cut your hair." You must say, "I got my hair cut." This shows that someone else did the work for you.
