Starting Over...

Out Sick

I'm embarrassed to say I'm not actually sick. I bought a salve yesterday for my sunburned scalp. I gooped up my hair good, but when I went to wash it out, no go. My hair now has the consistancy of a Ken doll's and I've easily washed it 20 times. Worse still, it itches like CRAZY. I called the product help line only to be told that the product had been intended for "coarse, ethnic hair". Nice. Nothing on the bottle said anything about it, but the lady insisted that I should have been able to tell "just by looking at it". Silly me. She finally admitted that this isn't the first time this has happened. Then she advised me to wash my hair with a mixture of baking soda and Dawn dishwashing detergent, the same concoction used to clean up marine life after an oil spill, "as many times as it takes". Double nice.

An amusing story that I thought you'd all enjoy.
