Yesterday I found out that my hair hasn’t been shampooed it 3.5 weeks. I have been using conditioner that I thought was shampoo. All the markings on the bottle were Chinese. How would I ever know?!

When I used this “shampoo” for the first time, I thought to myself, “Hmmm this isn’t getting very sudsy. Maybe it’s just conditioner.” I dismissed this thought and decided that maybe the Chinese don’t use sudsy shampoo, and then I just forgot about it. After a week or two or three, my scalp was feeling a bit itchy and just not clean. So I got out my phone, pulled up the Google Translate app and I had my answer: conditioner, not shampoo.

Back to the store I went for bonafide shampoo and now my hair feels really good.
