What’s going on with your hair, hmm? What’s happening, what’s it all about?
Of course if your hair is perfect, shiny and strong as a horse’s leg, by all means, move along. Or keep reading for the lolz, whatever.
For everybody else, repeat after me: shampoo matters.
That’s right, shampoo matters. A simple concept one assumes...
Okay, so I was getting a lift in a cab once, and was just talking to the cabbie about dying my hair and whatnot, when clearly eager to offer something to the conversation, he starts talking about shampoo. Saying that its only purpose is to remove grease, that any old swill will do the trick and salons are just out to rip people off. He suggested I pop down to the local 2 dollar store and get a litre of unlabelled "hair cleanse”.
Now naturally at this point I started laughing like a mad thing, assuming he was having me on. Imagine my humiliation when my good natured cackling was met with a blank stare. Oh good lord, the man was serious.
In an effort to rectify the situation I begin rambling on about non water soluble silicon content and whatnot, at which point he kindly asked me to get out of the cab (in his defence, we had reached the destination.)
Now I won’t go into a mad rant like I did then, but I will say this. The wrong shampoo, that is, a cheaply formulated brand (I’m naming no names lest I’m lynched by angry people) can actually cause damage to your hair. They can corrode it and strip it of moisture. They can cause silicon to build up on the hair shafts and coat your hair. Pretty much, they can do a number on your hair that leaves it dry, brittle and weak, and nowhere near approaching the strength of a horse’s leg.
So, keep it in mind. Shampoo matters.
