Al fin! Tengo algo me mole!!

I’m so excited, can hardly type. Those of you, who have been following my dilemma, know that I have been stressing ( I mean that seriously) over finding a replacement shampoo.

I do NOT understand why Creme of Nature formula changed. I mean, seriously folks! Did I complain? Did you complain? NO!! The shampoo was working and left my hair extremely manageable. After reading the reviews on the “new and improved” version, I decided that it was not going to be my next love.

You all also know that I bought a gallon, yes a gallon, of the original formula during my last trip to the Big Apple right? Well, knowing that I would not be able to replace it, I have used it sparingly (sniffle, sniffle) and have been experimenting in the meantime.

So, here’s what happened today.

I was trying to transfer some shampoo from the gallon bottle to a smaller, easier to handle bottle. That turned out not to be simple, because I don’t have a funnel. I wasted at least 3 good ounces of my “fix” and was heated. No. Seriously, I was PO’d. I canNOT replace my Creme of Nature, so I cannot afford to watch 3 ounces float down the sewage system.

Rather than fight with the bottle, I decided to wait to buy a funnel, but I still needed to shampoo my hair. I wanted to give one of my other test-and-failed-shampoos a try. The first lather was a mess. I instantly had tangles, couldn’t even get my comb near my hair, let alone through my hair.

The second lather, I tried something a little different. I poured some shampoo into my hand and then about equal portions of a cheap cream rinse into my hand.

Initially, I didn’t think that I was going to get a decent lather, but I knew that I would at least have a clean scalp and that I would be able to pass the comb through my hair. Well, after a moment of massaging the mixture in my hair, I felt that familiar foam developing. I didn’t get a real intense lather, but a foam…just like I get when I use my beloved Creme of Nature.

This was only the first attempt, but I’m going to try it next time around to confirm my results. If any of you have done this before, or try it, let me know what the results are like. I’m especially interested in hearing from fellow Creme of Nature fans.

Besitos,
