CURLS GONE WILD


hiya, i ran out of my favorite hair stuff this morning which is/was a real fricking bummer because A) apparently i have curly hair and B) i didn't have time to stop at my hair dresser, christo, to buy more, and i am kind of obsessed with both christo and his products. i haven't really had to substitute in like three years, so i had to figure out some shit tonight at this neighborhood store called "essentials" (if you want to call a store that sells mostly jigsaw puzzles and soy milk in a box "essential") on my way home from a highly enjoyable buzzed run (which may or may not be highly recommended by the medical community).

i combed the store and found the pantene section, which is basically the entire aisle (if you haven't noticed, pantene is kind of DOING it), and within the pantene "area," i found the curly beast products and within the curly beast products i found the right looking one. and then i found it again. and then i found it AGAIN.

they all looked exactly the same, smelled the same, had the same ingredients, but had different but not really helpful ENOUGH descriptions for curly hair.

the first one said:
volume and lift for body and fulnesss

the second one said:
long lasting control and shine

the third one said:
helps create and define curls and waves to control frizz

so i bought all three and mixed them up.

no, just kidding. i didn't buy any of them. i wigged out and bought cadbury christmas chocolate balls (like cadbury mini eggs but christmas ones- OH HOLY NIGHT!) and a poland spring instead, and peaced way the fuck out of that joint.

what's my problem? well since you asked, what ISN'T my problem?
i want it ALL!!!! i want body, i want shine, and i want to control frizz! AND I WANT IT ALL IN ONE BOTTLE!
people with curly hair SO don't make curly haired products because if they did, there would be one that also gives you stronger nails, a new ipod, and ten thousand dollars, if you're into that kind of thing.

...why yes, you've outdone yourself yet again. Thanks for an outrageous essay.
I think I''ve lived thru some of these hair products so I have a bit more of a personal stake in this.
