You know you're desperate when you start watering down your conditioner... As in, putting water into the bottle, swishing it around frantically and hoping you'll be able to brush through your hair later.
Welcome to my world. I fly on Thursday for Rock N Roll New Orleans... I've never been more excited to stay at a hotel! ha
Sometimes I'm a little snotty about what kind of conditioner I use, but that girl is gone.
I know I could cut my hair and make my life easy, but I did that once as a kid and balled for days. No ponytails, no braids, no nothing. Not to mention I looked like a freak...Then you actually have to do it everyday!

Maybe that's why all the royalty wore wigs back in the day...
(actually it was because head lice was so prevalent and so they just shaved their heads and threw on wigs)
but didn't all the pioneer ladies have really long hair? How did they do it without conditioner...? How did they do it period?

My mom used to call it cream rinse...
but according to my research, that's different from "conditioner"... it's more of a detangler. I guess that's my biggest hurdle...
If I could have any conditioner in the world... it would be Frederic Fekkai's. I was fortunate enough a few years ago to get my hair done at his salon before the Oscars and I gotta tell ya... the stuff is amazing.
A good friend of mine used to always splurge on Redken All Soft
and you know what... it really does make your hair all soft.
But back here in reality... I'd just be happy with even an average conditioner. The packets my dad sent me are great for the shampoo half... but the conditioner is pretty much worthless. It's some "clarifying" kind, it says... but all I know is that my hair isn't "all soft" and it definitely isn't easy to brush through. I know Pantene gets a bad rap for "coating" your hair but the stuff works wonders for me. Too bad I haven't seen any of that in months...
According to my research conditioner can be credited either to Ed Pinaud back at the worlds Fair in 1900... or Sir Darren Emilford as recently as 1980! Either way I should just be glad I wasn't born before then and shut my mouth I suppose.
Oh and just for kicks... take a look at these
Pretty sure Ali Larter is in this one... Teen Spirit commercial
And this one is just comical - Salon Selectives escapee commercial
Conditioner will definitely be my first purchase... and I might even treat myself to a little Frederic Fekkai :)

ReplyDeleteYup conditioner was not invented , or at least widely available until 1980 . I was born in 1955 and had hair down to my waist through college. Cream rinse was the first thing that came out , and it definitely helped , but you had to mix it in the shower with water . I remember carrying a glass measuring cup into the shower with me , probably not a great idea. The next thing that came out was I think called no more tears , and it was developed by Johnson & Johnson to spray in kids hair to detangle it. It came in a pump spray you sprayed on after you wash your hair . Believe me, when I was in the high school in the 1970s and all my classmates had long hair , we all smelled rather like babies !
