Shampoo

I've been thinking! There are so many kinds of shampoos to choose from these days but when I was a girld, it wasn't like that.  In fact, I was thinking that until I was in high school, we used soap to shampoo our hair.  Could that be so?

I asked my brother if he could remember what shampoo we used when we were kids.  "Soap!" he said.  "I think we just used a bar of soap."

I remember this because I remember hearing the slogan for Halo Shampoo. "Soaping dulls hair. Halo glorifies it!"  And the song that went with it.  "Halo, everybody, Halo.  Halo is the shampoo that glorifies your hair."  I'm sure that commercial started me to thinking about using shampoo instead of soap.  Did I use Halo?  I don't remember.

Another early shampoo commercial that I remember is for White Rain, another song.  "Use new White Rain tonight, and tomorrow your hair will be sunshine bright!"

And P-r-e-l-l. I remember a song with the word spelled out but I don't remember the rest of the ad.

What shampoo did I use?  I probably tried all three of them at one time or another.

    I remember Halo everybody!! I don't remember what kind we used though. And, you are so right - there are so, so many out there now! From the ridiculously high priced (why do people think the 'high price' will work the best, I wonder!)to the still lower priced. I use something different all the time. I've found it's better to switch around - kind of like, if you use the same thing all the time, it loses it's effectiveness. Well, that's all the brilliance I can come up with this Monday morning! Have a good day Nancy. :)

    Sally, I've been told that switching around with deoderant is also a good thing. I think it may really be so.
