I just needed one thing

June 25th, 2007

I was standing in the beauty supply store a while ago, surrounded by bright lights and shiny products, needing just one thing: a hair product my friend recommended. Hair products were at the back of the store. I navigated past the perfumes in pretty packages, past the gift bags with arranged lotions, past the stacked nail polish display. Rows and rows of haircare, and I just needed one thing.

The salesladies wore fresh black smocks over their clothing, their hair styled and their faces bronzed. They looked so pretty. I wanted to look that way. I wanted to buy whatever it was that they used. But, focus, I told myself: there it is: Redken’s curly hair line. I picked the spray—then the gel too. I could at least give myself that, I reasoned. Look at all I’m not buying.

And so I left—two, OK three, products in my hands, needing only one.

This happens to me sometimes.

StumbleUpon It!

    I also have the same problem. About your purchase, Redken products are great. If you have troublesome hair, some of their products are worth the money.

    I was going to buy the Redken styling products used when I got my haircut. The guy explained how and why he was using them. I love their shine spray and ultimate blow drying lotion #2. And it’s so cool the number goes up to 26 for maximum control and hold.
