A few months ago my hairdresser suggested an expensive bottle of shampoo. And as someone with fine hair, she suggested this new one would strip out any heaviness and make it softer and thicker.
And at $80. I joined the medicine show sampled the elixer and took the leap. Now in the pure pitch black of my morning routine. (I will write about dark sometime). I have my old bottle of shampoo I moved to second string still out there..Tresemme. And it has always always performed well.
But once this new shampoo player joined the roster, it’s been starting it ever since. This morning I thought maybe I should try to use the old shampoo. Just cycle it in once in a while till it’s used up. Like in a blowout College game where you rest your starter. It’s Wednesday my big day 8-9:30pm day is over. I will be in and out and probably screw around for part of the afternoon.
And so I reached in the dark and yes I start cold, let’s not waste water, and return to Old Faithful. Well…that did not go well. I had to rewash my hair with her new shampoo. It just felt gross and wrong after washing with the old stuff.
And I have been using Tresemme shampoo for a least 10 years. It’s worked in the past. It’s a solid performer with my hair. It could have started for 1000s of hair washes. It was fine but…
Things evolve. Things change. My hair looks better than ever. Everything in its right place, I toss out the old.
Evolution.
