Salon Style....

So, I was browsing through a magazine the other day and there was a scratch-n-sniff ad for shampoo.  So I tried it and guess what, it smelled like apples and I thought to myself, wasn't there a shampoo that smelled just like this?  Yes, do you remember Salon Selectives?  Totally.  Do you remember it as being "trendy"?  I totally do.  Maybe its because I was in high school (I think) in its hay day, it seems like it was a big deal.  Then what happened to it?  Did Pantene Pro V take over?  I can't remember (which worries me a little bit).  Then the shampoo/conditioner timeline of my life started playing in my brain.....

It all started with Silkience.  Do you remember that brand?  I remember it because to my knowledge it was the first conditioner I used.  Conditioner was a revelation as a child.  Why didn't we use it before?  No idea but I don't think conditioner was as wide-known and used in the late 70s.  Anyone remember "cream rinse"?  What was that all about?

Then there was that brand (I can't remember the name) that had different scents that were supposed to smell like designer perfumes.  I also seem to remember sprays. I don't think they were the same brand but I think I had some that smelled like "Poison", is that right?

You can ask Lysa what happens when you think furniture polish disguised in a travel-size-like bottle is conditioner...

In college I went through the Aveda color conditioner phase.  Remember me with dark reddish/brown hair?  Remember the stains on my bathrobe?

These days I just go with whatever.  What's on sale?  Which brand has a cool bottle?  What's at Target?

I have experienced major stress when traveling because the in-room conditioner provided is not nearly enough.  I have learned my lesson and try to bring my own or buy some as soon as I get somewhere.  So yes, I think a lot about about shampoo and conditioner.  "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful...."
