Today I discovered that the conditioner I have been using for months (MONTHS!) is actually shampoo.
Shampoo.
How did I discover this?
Well, I was trying to show my daughter how to take down her hair, and I mentioned that conditioner would help to give it better “slip” as the hair peeps call it. “So, take a little of this conditioner,” I said, “and put it on the ends of your hair.”
To which she said, “Yeah, except that’s shampoo.”
And I looked at the label, and it definitely says shampoo.
You know, I had always wondered why my conditioner created lather. And it never once occurred to me to check the label.
