I just had a little sleep in my comfy chair for an hour, and when I woke up my hair felt all tangled. It was really itchy, and I couldn’t stop scratching. Also it was sticking up at odd angles and wouldn’t brush back into place.

It was really irritating me, so I gave my hair a good wash.

I feel so much better now - all clean and untangled. Its amazing how much better you can feel just by giving your hair a good wash.

(I’m talking about the hair on my _head_, btw) 🙂

Er…good for you!

I’m just curious, but how often do you wash your hair?

Once a day, normally. If I’m not working then I sometimes skip it.

What shampoo did you use? Maybe you should write or email that shampoo company with the above information, mention their shampoo prominently, and maybe they will make an ad with your story!

Or maybe they will send you a coupon for 30 cents off the next bottle.

You knever now.

Thats the kicker - it was regular hand soap! I find it does the job just as well. Maybe when my hair starts falling out because of it, I’ll change my opinion…🙂
