Okay. I have very dry, blond hair that tends to take on the quality of cotton candy if not properly moisturized, and being that I am waist deep in one of my self-improvement kicks (only two doughnuts, instead of three in the morning), I wanted to give myself one of those “deep”conditioning treatments. That way if I ever do run across my ex, he will be forever haunted by the site of my luscious flowing hair and svelte figure.
That being said, I dashed into my local CVS to grab a packet of something that looked moisturizing, never actually reading the packaging until I got home. What I ended up with is a lovely product known as Henna n’ Placenta.
WTF???? Right?????
The definition of placenta is as followed:
“The placenta or afterbirth is a highly vascularized ephemeral organ present in eutherian mammals that connects the developing fetal tissues to the uterine wall. The placenta supplies the fetus with maternal nutrients, and allows fetal waste to be disposed of via the maternal kidneys.”
Really gross..
And isn’t combining henna and placenta together sort of an oxymoron? I mean who exactly is the target market for this product? Too fleshy for the typical henna consumer..I think.
The label does boast that the formula is environmentally responsible and cruelty free. No animals testing. Great..I could possibly be the first living thing to ever use/test this.
But $3.00 is still money..so here I go..
Tearing open the packaging..
MMM..smells like that candy powder in the sugar straws…appealing pink color….
This can’t be real placenta??
Oh wait..placenta is listed on the ingredients..I wonder from what animal..or is it from a combination?
I’m working it through my hair..I probably should have gotten my hair wet first..got a little too excited…
The instructions say to put my head in a bag and use a blow dryer to heat it up. I guess they want me to really cook the placenta onto my head.
I’ll be back in a few with the results….
Update: It has been four hours…
I got completely distracted and never used the blowdryer, and in fact, four hours later, the junk is still in my hair. I hope two hours in a hot car didn’t cause some sort of adverse reaction….
Final Analysis…
I think my hair is even dryer than before I put the stuff on. Go figure?? Very unsatisfying results…. Should I have perhaps followed the direction more diligently..naaawww.
Side note:
A friend just told me an awesome recipe for French Toast.
You use slices of challah bread dipped in melted French Vanilla ice cream.. No eggs!!!!
Let the experimentation commence!!!
