Curly freakin’ hair!

Not sure if people with straight hair have these same issues but…having curly hair I am very loyal to the products that I put in my hair. There are a few things that make the curls behave and do what they are supposed to do. A few years ago, I was a faithful user of a certain Tresemme’ pomade. I would buy a few canisters every so often and be good for a bit. I went to the store to obtain more and they were out. I asked the sales associate if they would get more shipped, he told me they will not carry that product any more. I thought I would be able to find some, somewhere else…but didn’t!

I then went through this sampling phase of trying something out for a few days, not liking it, choosing something else, over and over again. I am sure my family wonders why I have a variety of things I do not use. Finally, I found something that works VO5. A few years go by…last night hits me in the face!!! No one carries the stuff I have been using faithfully for these years!! AAARRGGGHH! I feel like Elaine in Seinfeld with her sponges…..can anyone say STOCK PILE! I wish I would have purchased a case of my hair goop.

I spent an hour in the hair product isle last night. That is a bit unnatural for a guy to be looming in that isle for more than 2 minutes. I would look, open bottles, leave for a minute, then come back. I think I found something…I keep feeling my hair today (also a little unnatural)…so far, so good. Maybe I will be exempt from the multiple tries this time. I just wish someone would send me a memo…”Chris, your hair product is becoming obsolete, stock up”!

I know I am being petty today…it is actually a respite from my daily work today! Curly Hair Away!
