[blparent] Long Hair

Thu Nov 20 17:50:39 UTC 2008

Hi V, I find that the two in one shampoo and conditioner doesn't work as effectively in my hair, 
either, and I don't have curly hair, just lots of it.

A smile costs nothing but gives much.  It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who 
give.  It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.  None is so rich or 
mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. 
Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value 
to anyone until it is given away.  Some people are too tired to give you a smile.  Give them one of 
yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

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
