the hair whisperer

So when I got my hair cut the other week, my hairdresser sprayed some styling product in before blow drying.  I didn’t even touch it.  Still, I could tell my hair was the texture of silk, just by the way the brush glided through it like Dorothy Hamill (the Olympic years, not the Ice Capades years).

I asked my hairdresser what it was and she said “It’s a 10”.  I said “Yes, but what’s it called?”  It was like a bad, Three Stooges episode, until she showed me the bottle.

Actually, the full name of this product is  “It’s a 10, Miracle Leave-In Product”.  Yes, they really did have the cojones to use both “It’s a 10” and “Miracle” in the same name. Guess “It’s a 10, Miracle Leave-In Product, So Bow Down Now Bitch”, was taken.)

This product claims to do 10 things instantly.  Things like shine, detangle, control frizz, protect from the heat of styling, seal in color, blah, blah, blah. 

I used it on half of my hair, for comparison sake.  It did make my hair slightly more silky, but the difference between the two sides wasn’t that drastic- at first.   But, as the day progressed, the “10” side stayed super silky, while the non-miracle side started to get frizzy and more coarse.  Then the next day (I didn’t wash my hair), the discrepancy between the two sides grew even bigger (both literally and figuratively).

So, for its ability to provide miraculous, long-lasting, tangle-free, frizz-free, silky, glossy, sleek hair, I'm giving this product ... an 11.   

From the brilliant film, Spinal Tap.

As a world class dancer, I understand the importance of silky hair. Whether I'm doing a jitter-bug or the tango - having my silky smoothy hair glistening atop me is inspiring to all.
"10" is a 20 in my book!

Omg omg omg.. you don't just blog Jenny, you write prophecies.. about the good future of my currently rebellious, curly, falling hair!
My (small southeastern university town's) salon hairdresser used It's a 10 after my last trim, and it smelled super, leaving my hair super-er (word made up out of sheer delight). Plus, you were right about hair gets better with time, when it's usually the reverse with other hair products.
And, the cholesterol hot-oil thingy post was so darn right too!! It made my hand slide through my silky hair just like slipping on wet floor wearing stilettos.. my hair's less frizzy, shiny, and kind of wavy-straight. Best of all: over time the cholesterol has somehow reduced the hairfall!
Heil NostraJennyDamus :P

Damn. Why did I have to be the Nostradamus of hair products? Why couldn't I predict things like lottery numbers? Oh well. Glad you liked them. Although the stilettos on the wet floor thing sounds kind of frightening:) Thanks!
