See What Condition My Condition Was In...

When I watch TV specials about men knowing from a very early age that they were meant to be women, I can relate. Despite my mouse-brown follicles, I always knew 'inside' I was meant to be a redhead.

In high school I finally let the inner redhead shine. However, fourteen years of serious dye addiction can take it's toll on your hair. And I don't just dye it like regular people...No, I also bleach the life out of certain sections and stain those pieces with heavy duty dyes. I cook it dry with my Baby Blyss hair dryer and then fry the ends with a flat iron. I finish it off with a fog of spray wax and hair glue.

HOW, do you ask, am I not bald? HOW has my hair remained shiny-silky soft and not broken brittle pieces of straw? It may be DNA, it may be luck... but I like to think, in part, it's because of the people at Neutrogena.

They have invented these AWESOME 'Triple Moisture' products. The daily conditioner is wonderful - my hair is on the fine side, so I use it every other day. I follow up with their 'Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Mask" about once a week. (I leave the product on longer than the directions suggest because my hair can use all the help it can get.)

The moral of the story - self expression does not have to result in baldness.... (Unless baldness is your version of self expression.) Save your hair, use Neutrogena's Triple Moisture line.

Pros:

• Smooths, softens and improves the texture of even the most tortured locks
  
• Delicious scent
  
• Very affordable - most places sell it for under $7 a bottle
  
• Gentle on your hair for the long term user
  

Cons:

• I can't think of a single con!
