Since high school I have used the same shampoo - Herbal Essences for Normal to Oily hair. I loved the smell, the texture of my hair after a good wash, and of course I loved the double entendre of the herbal essence "Organic Experience" commercials. Even the bottle itself was perfect; clear with a tinge of green herbs suggesting how serious these people took their "herbs!"(On a side note a former high school teacher of mine used to say "Let's make this an organic experience!" - wrong think to say to dirty minded tenth graders.)
I loved the commercials of "oohing" and "ahhing" women, filled with ecstasy as their gorgeous hands massaged their evermore gorgeous hair. The message was obvious: use this shampoo and you will have lots and lots of orgasms while still being a gorgeous sophisticated lady. As a horny high schooler how could I not fall for this? In my defense, the shampoo was pretty good at making my hair smooth, shiny, and incredibly delicious to smell.
Anyway, a while back I went shopping for some shampoo only to discover that my usual clear bottle of Herbal Essence had been replaced with this monstrosity:
I guess the stupid people at Herbal Essences decided that what women really wanted to be is ten year old girls. I'm predicting an advertisement tie in with My Little Pony to soon follow. Seriously, what self respecting woman would purchase shampoo bottles of hot pink, mango, and turquoise? Sure sometimes the wardrobe calls for splashes of color but not on my shampoo bottle! And what happened to advertising to sex starved female public?! - we want the hope of orgasms and even a hint of "naturalness" in our daily hygiene routine not super fun bubble gum flavors. Even the shape of the damn bottles irritates me. Give me back my "organic" feeling dammit.
So now I'm left with no shampoo. I guess this whole post was a way to ask for any good suggestions for a new shampoo? My hair is slightly frizzy, with a bit of curl but mostly straight.
