When I was young there were only a few brands of shampoo and they came in dry, normal or oily. I don't even think there were conditioners. Now I go to the drugstore and I'm paralyzed by indecision as I view the large array before me. I dye my hair so I'd like a shampoo that protects the color BUT my hair is longish so I'd like it "long and strong" BUT humidity is my enemy so I'd want it "smooth and sleek" BUT I'd also like moisture and a few other things. And don't get me started on conditioners. My shower is too small for a row of bottles and though I have considered buying them all and mixing them in an empty bottle with my luck there'd be a chemical reaction and I'd blow up NYC. For some reason I've been thinking about Sinead O'Connor a lot lately *g*.

Which brings to mind this:

I shall not allure you with dangling adornments
Nor entice you with painted face
Nor dazzle you with natty garments
I shall not please you with a veneer belying my thoughts.
No, I shall not come to you cloaked with a false beauty only to disillusion
you later.
I shall come bald.
by Janet Russo

I love the sentiments but unfortunately they don't work very well in the world we live in.
