I don’t need any fancy shampoos. All I have to do is wash my hair. My genes for hair have decreed I’m to have “big” hair – even if I were one week out from shaving my head, I’d probably look like Alice on a normal day.
I’d sure like to smell like something better than coal tar shampoo, though.
Six of one, half a dozen of another….
