Monday Morning Mirth
from the lies my mother never told me file…
Part of Deep Spring Cleaning here @CHicKnits is the inevitable HairCut! What happens when you go PAY for the HairCut? You fall into the Product SinkHole that is right next to the cash register!
WHO could resist this?! Not me! It wended its way into my bag after I read this from the product packaging:

Oh! I remember my mother using egg on my hair sometimes. Now and then, she’d rinse it with lemon juice, too!
Oh, yeah, I just remembered… treating it with mayonnaise on the ends (wrapping it in plastic wrap for a bit) and how could I forget the beer rinses!

I can vouch for the Dumb Blonde. It rescued my over-processed platinum blonde hair from a fate of hideous straw.
Lucille Ball was a “Henna Rincess”!! For some reason that was the first thing that popped into my head when I read your post. Long live the Product Whore, which is what I have sometimes been referred to by pervious stylists and colourists.

we used the lemon juice rinse when I was a kid…it enhances sun-bleachedness. We were blonder than blond!
Hey, what did that bottle just say about us brunettes? My french is a little rusty but– didn’t it say we’re fat??!!
YIKES! I think they probably mean mainly brown?
