I went shopping the other day and on my list was ‘shampoo – me/Sy’ so I duly trotted into Boots to see what was on offer.
A quick glance round told me that L’Oreal was all on offer and therefore going to be my cheapest bet on a big brand. I thought ahead to the fact that I’m hopefully getting my hair dyed next week and grabbed a bottle of colour protect stuff for me and then did a quick scan for some non-girly stuff. I spotted this and grabbed it, feeling a bit smug that I had found a decent blokes shampoo that was on offer:
I bunged them on the windowsill by the shower and forgot all about them until last night when I was cleaning my teeth and blankly reading the backs of all the bottles. It was then that I had my ‘oops’ moment. The back of this shiny Elvive For Men bottle states this:
Do you have fine, thinning hair which lacks fullness, manageability and gives less scalp coverage?
Ah. Now Sy is going to think I think he is thinning out and going bald….I don’t and he isn’t I just didn’t read the fine print. Sorry!!
*Then* I read on and almost choked on my toothpaste trying not to laugh at the following bold statement:
1. My first thought was 8 out of 10 men were probably thick enough to start with.
…swiftly followed by:
2. That sounds like the subject of a porn spam email.
Oh dear. Possibly not the wisest shampoo choice I have ever made but never mind – at least Sy won’t smell of girly flowery stuff after he uses it….
