Mindless Thought for the Day

Found this while blog surfing… I’m sure there are a lot of these kind of “aha” things, but of course, I can’t think of any right now. If you think of some, post them… and I’ll do the same.

This one is true for me though:

“Why did I call conditioner, “cream rinse” as a child? Did everyone? Why did we stop?”

Growing up, I have a vague memory of having to stand on a stool and having my mom wash my hair at the kitchen sink. I remember conditioner being called “cream rinse” back then. I also remember that I had to use something on my hair called “no more tangles”. My hair is awful, always has been. I envy women/girls with smooth shiny silky hair. Mine has always been dry and very frizzy, and it gets soooo tangled. I always begged for this stuff to be sprayed on my hair (or the equivalent oh those many years ago), so that it wouldn’t hurt so bad. My mom would brush my hair and just pull tangles until it felt like she was scalping me. I hated it.

    I think I remember it being called cream rinse as well. And I got my hair washed the same way!
    I’m sure the name change has to do with advertising and maybe being able to charge more for something called conditioner rather than cream rinse!
