New Shampoo Trial

Dear Diary,

Today I tried out a new shampoo that I've seen advertised on the TV: Garnier Fructis. The ads show lots of fun-loving young people enjoying their hair to the limit. Usually the ads have something to do with moisture, so they take place at the pool or in the shower, typically in a tropical setting. So I went to the website and took the quiz for which product was right for my unique style of hair, and purchased the sleek and shine formulation.

Diary, nothing could prepare me for what came next. So I was in the shower (big surprise) washing my hair, when all of the sudden, there's another smiling woman in the shower with me! I asked her, "What are you doing here?" To which she replied, "I frickin' wash my hair here." I said, "You would wash your hair here," realizing we were in a shower. She said, "I come with the shampoo bottles. Haven't you seen the commericals?"

I then realized that the people showering together in the TV ads were not just product placement; they were full-blown real! I'm not comfortable showering with another woman, so I'm just going to stick with Pantene Pro-V, since their ads are more conservative, just like my politics. That is, unless I can find out if the other formulations of this shampoo include a guy. Wink wink, Diary, wink wink. But that idea is just bad, though, because Mic might surprise-visit me, and I don't want some shampoo guy hiding in the closet. The woman with the bottle I just bought I just had to hire as a maid! But she doesn't require much, so I let here stay around.

Diary, I need to find you a new conditioner. Your hair looks dirty.
