Hotel Shampoo
Natural whole wheat protein and Irish moss help strengthen and shield hair from environmental damage. Gentle enough for everyday use.
Meant to post this when I was in St. Paul, but I forgot...I like to read packaging, and shampoo bottles are particularly rich in ridiculous verbiage. These sentences conjure an epic struggle: Natural Whole Wheat Protein, with his beautiful sidekick Irish Moss [gently] battle the FORCES OF NATURE!!! Or rather, the FORCES OF UN-NATURE. Because my hair is frequently menaced by toxic waste and pollutants - if I didn't shampoo frequently, my head would closely resemble a cross between Chernobyl, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and a depleted rainforest.
