\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m not afraid to admit I use women’s products. For example, tampons are apparently handy when I cut myself shaving.<\/p>\n

I don’t do it to get in touch with my feminine side. I watch the WE Network<\/a> when I want to do that. I also don’t do it to impress women, because no matter what I do, I will NEVER impress women. <\/p>\n

The reason why I use women’s products is because they usually smell better than men’s products. Smelling flowery or fruity like a woman is something I don’t mind, because compared to most of the men’s products, it’s a whole lot better.<\/p>\n

Recently, I needed a new shampoo because I ran out and because it turns out that I have to wash my dreadlocks.<\/p>\n

Choosing the brand and type of shampoo can be daunting, because there are more shampoo choices than there were candidates for this year’s Iraqi presidential elections. (Which was over 7,000 candidates for those of you keeping score at home.)<\/p>\n

I decided on the feminine-looking Clairol Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers Shampoo because it was the one I chose using my tried and true shampoo choosing technique, which is choosing whatever is on sale.<\/p>\n

After purchasing the shampoo, I had second thoughts about it because I began to think about the rainforest flowers it took to create the shampoo. <\/p>\n

With rainforests disappearing at an alarming rate, the tree-hugger in me, which is part of my feminine side, wondered why Clairol decided to use the rainforest flowers cassia, ginger flower, and banana flower. <\/p>\n

If we run out of ginger flowers, that means we’ll run out of ginger, and if we run out of ginger, there won’t be any ginger snaps or gingerbread houses. <\/p>\n

If we run out of banana flowers, that means we’ll run out of bananas, and if we run out of bananas, that means we’ll have to find another way to make people slip and fall for our amusement.<\/p>\n

Finally, if we run out of cassia… Oh, what the hell am I saying? Cassia is called the bastard cinnamon, and just like all bastard things, no one will miss it if it’s gone.<\/p>\n

Despite the use of rainforest flowers, the Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers Shampoo had a nice sweet, spicy, and flowery scent, but the sensuous arousal powers of the ginger flower might have made me say that.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get an accurate measurement of how effective this shampoo was because it’s made for colored\/permed\/dry\/damaged hair and I, according to my sexy hairstylist, have normal hair. <\/p>\n

But the Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers Shampoo didn’t change my hair’s color, didn’t make my hair fall out, and didn’t give me Nick Nolte mugshot hair<\/a>, so I think it did a good job.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Clairol Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers Shampoo
\nPurchase Price:<\/b> $4.00 (on sale)
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Smelled nice. Cleaned my hair. No Nick Nolte mugshot hair. Ginger flower has sensuous arousal powers.
\nCons:<\/b> Not meant for my normal, average, and boring hair. The ginger flower’s sensuous arousal powers was negated by my lack of class and charm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
