So Many Choices....

Today, I went to the store to purchase a bottle of hair conditioner. I decided I wanted to try a new brand - change is good so I am told....New brand, no problem, The dilemma was WHAT to buy? This is what I saw on the shelf: conditioner for - long hair, frizzy hair, short hair, color treated hair, dry hair, conditioner to add shine, conditioner to help lengthen hair... all I wanted was conditioner that conditioned NORMAL HAIR. After ten minutes, I found it.

What happened to good shampoo's and conditioners that I adored from the mid-70's to late 80's... AGREE (my favorite - it smelled soooo good), GEE, YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERIFIC, LEMON-UP, REVLON FLEX, there was even a shampoo that had something to do with beer named BODY ON TAP.

So, why al of the choices? Marketing? I wonder what would occur if I used conditioner for short hair on my medium length hair?

It seems like there are so many products that come in a thousand fragrances that have a million different uses. Then there is concentrated,ultra concentrated, fortified with vitamins, high in anti-oxidants, whitening, enriched, unbleached, lactose free, sugar free, organic, light, no msg (why even bother with msg???), ...whew!! I am getting exhausted just thinking about it.

I do not mind shopping for groceries and household supplies but I just find that it can be time consuming. There are moments when time is of the essence but C'est la vie.....
