At the end of the week, I arose
from the dessert that is called the public school and let down my hair that has
been in a bun from 5AM up to 3 PM. Our rigid and conservative teacher’s uniform
consist of a coat and skirt, white top, nude nail polish if one must and cannot
live without nail polish, and finally, pink or peach-nude lipstick matched with
hair in a bun.
From Monday to Thursday, that’s
what I look like. Casual Friday is Reading Day and my Grade 8 kids welcome the
change in my image. It is only then that I can let my hair down and my strands
rest. Given that my hair has experienced being tied up and pinned and twisted,
I wanted my hair and scalp to feel refreshed and clean.
This is where a clarifying
shampoo comes in then.
Our hair is exposed to stress,
heat, styling and other chemical products. A clarifying shampoo provides a deep
and natural clean. I found an organic clarifying shampoo that didn’t upset my
budget. Human Nature introduced a Clarifying Shampoo with an improved foamy and
fragrant, luxurious lather. It is formulated with natural fruit acids that help
get rid of impurities and the muck that has been building in the scalp and
roots. It has aloe vera and betaine to help soothe and moisturize hair strands.
For my first use, I didn’t have
any idea how much to apply, so I tried a wild guess and it gave just the right
healthy lather on my head. I usually towel dry my hair and leave it at a wrap
before I let it all down and I was just ridiculously content with the fresh and
mild fragrance.
It has a fruity scent which I really like and I could tell that my scalp was squeaky clean
and my strands were instantly lightweight.
Now if only my hair could talk, I
would be hearing a faint whisper of thanks in my ear...
