Destination Unknown

In case you’re wondering, the header isn’t an allusion. It means exactly
what it is, which is to say it can mean many different things. In this case, I
am talking about the shampoo.

I know! I’m totally not a shampoo model. You won’t see me shadowboxing
with itchy hair a la Richard Gutierrez, nor will you see me throwing my “secret
weapon” hair band like Angel Locsin. If there’s anything I detest about shampoo
ads, it’s the punch line they use. And being that Head and Shoulders is the
brand guiltiest of this, I am often turned off from buying
this product.

But I actually am not that selective with shampoo brands; I don’t care,
just as long as they wash my hair and don’t stink, everything is fine. Since I choose my
shampoo almost completely randomly - depending on what my mom buys - it wasn’t until recently that I couldn’t had told any difference between this and that.

I used to have some dandruff. And on hotter days, my dandruff grew to such
enormous amount they could’ve become a good props for Christmas movies. I didn’t
care that much, although it was slightly irritating. I was okay
with having dandruff and I didn’t believe a single thing those shampoo ads were
telling me. They can’t be that good, can they?

So when I tried Head and Shoulders, I was skeptic about bearing results. The
first few washes with it didn’t amount to any significant progress - maybe because I
really do have a lot of dandruffs - contrary to what that darned commercial said, but the itch was considerably gone.
Since my mom usually buys a huge bottle of a given shampoo, I kept using it.

And what do you know? All my dandruff, gone! Yes, while my Christmas wasn’t
particularly good, I’ve since not dropped any flakes (or
notice any of them on my shirt). Not only that, but my hair has
become smoother!

To hell with the commercials. This shampoo’s the real thing. I’m loving
this brand, because now I’m “free from dandruff and free to shine”, though I’d argue that I have been
shining since the dawn of mankind.

This is such a stupid post! I so need to write something else!
