What is 43 Things good for

September 27, 2005 · 8 Comments

Once in a while I see an entry or a goal and think to myself, “that’s what I love about 43 Things”. That’s exactly what I thought when I saw one 43 Things user helping Joe find the perfect shampoo.

43 Things Entry of the Day

0 people want to find a shampoo that i like

, an entry by
Joe:

It’s hard to test shampoos, beacause once you buy one you’re stuck with it for 6 months or so.

I’m looking for a shampoo (and a conditioner?) that controls dandruff, keeps my hair from getting really oily for 2-3 days, keeps it from getting poofy, and makes my head smell good.

Anyone have any suggestions? I have thick hair (“jew-fro”) that gets oily quick and a scalp that tends to flake.

    Herbal Essences.

    Makes hair calm (don’t get the volumizing one), and it smells really good. When mixed with your own smell, those around you notice ^_^.

    You can also check out the travel size shampoos to test, or write to a company complaining about finding the right product, and they may send you a sample in the mail.

    Or at least coupons!

    Good luck!

    six months? You obviously don’t have children in the Harry Potter potion-making stage!

    Consider the Joico line of hair products. I personally use Joico Kerapro.

    OH MAN…go get Paul Mitchell’s TEA TREE OIL shampoo and conditioner. You can get it in the trial size so as not to commit yourself to 6 months of a product you can’t stand.

    Look, this stuff saved me from scratching like I had fleas. Dandruff?? I get a SNOW STORM! it really really helps. Leaves my hair pretty manageable, soft AND refreshed (you won’t believe it ’till you try it).
    It is a bit pricier than the grocery store brands, but OHMYGOD, what a difference it makes.

    lemme know how you make out on this.

    I’m flabbergasted. I just cant help thinking about the gulf that separates my shampoo usage from this guy’s. I’m a dude with long, but straight hair. I live with a woman who also has long straight hair. We go through a bottle of shampoo in a couple of weeks or so. My sweetie and I just cant figure out how this guy drags out his shampoo usage for so long.

    Also, if I were looking for a good dandruff control shampoo, I think I would buy one and use it for a week, and if I didn’t see good results I would go and buy another bottle, even if I still had plenty left.
