Ok, I admit it... I read the back of the shampoo bottle when I'm in the shower.  It passes the time while you wait to rinse, and they wouldn't put it there if it wasn't meant to be read would they?!

However, I am now quite disturbed by Herbal Essences.  It wasn't enough that their ads involved a woman reaching the height of pleasure while she massages the shampoo in.  Although who can blame her, I come close to the occassional lesbian moment in the hairdressers when I get my hair washed, my head just loves to be touched... I do manage to control myself, I'm just saying its understandable.  But now even their bottles are turning in to sex frenzied marketing tools.  After the standard blurb about how good it is for your hair comes a little question... "What do women like light and frequent while men like it more strenuous?"  Want to know the answer, you have to buy the conditioner too... fortunately I wasn't left wondering what would be in store for me next time I visit Boots to find the answer.  The answer on the back of the conditioner bottle..."A kiss".  But then comes more filth, the conditioner bottle has it's own little question..."What occurs more in December than any other month?" with the answer back on the shampoo bottle.  The answer..."Conception"

I don't know if I'm just being a prude but I just do not see the relevance of these questions to shampoo?  I want to wash my hair, not start imitating the commercial.  Is it suggesting that people with unclean hair aren't worthy of child-bearing?  Most of all though, I just didn't like the way it was rubbing in the fact that I have no boyfriend here to kiss.  I'm going back to my Dove shampoo!!!
