Hey ya'll!
Wow! my first post on the new board! I was going through withdrawals for a while there /images/graemlins/grin.gif
Anyway, here's my question which is related to hair care but also off topic... Saturday my best friend and I were at the local health care place getting our Aubrey's Conditioner and some new shampoo (also got a new leave-in from Giovanni which I think I like a lot!!! and here it was, I was trying to be a reformed PJ /images/graemlins/tongue.gif )
So, when we go to check-out, I'm teasing my friend about her causing me buy a new product when she knows I'm supposed to be cutting back!!! And then the sales clerk starts asking us a bunch of questions about the Aubrey's we're buying... at first both of us where kind of irritated because... well, you know how some black women can be-- having an attitude like "ya'll aren't white, why ya in here buying this expensive stuff?" And I guess we were both prepared for that... but then we noticed her hair which was about cheek bone length in a bob and VERY dry... and we both thought that maybe she really wanted someone to suggest something for her hair...
Neither of us said anything to her at the time and we didn't talk about it until we walked out of the store, but as soon as we walked out, we said at the same time "I wanted to tell her about longhaircareforum.com..."
How do ya'll handle situations like that? I mean, she didn't come straight out and ask us anything except how long we'd been using the Aubrey's (since the beginning of the summer). But this sister could have really used some of the pointers we've gotten here and both of us felt bad about not sharing the knowledge cause it's helped us so much! (My friend's hair is about 2-2.5 inches past her shoulders and mine has just barely reached BRASTRAP!!! /images/graemlins/grin.gif)
