[blparent] Long Hair

Thu Nov 20 04:32:15 UTC 2008

The shampoos with lavender don't work on her curly hair.  But I will try not 
rinsing the conditioner completely out.  Also the shampoos with conditioner 
already built in don't work either.  I'd just better save my pennies so I 
can go get another bottle of lavender oil. smile.  We did go get 3 inches 
cut off at the end of the summer. I thought that would work.  Wrong again. V
