Hair Curling

I went for a haircut yesterday. I have been going to the same salon for about 25 years. It doesn't really matter who cuts my hair. It is so curly that it curls the same way since I was a child. If I let it grow, it will grow horizontally and I will look like a cotton ball. The best I can hope for is a good shaping. After my hair was finished, the stylist asked if I wanted to try a new product made especially for curly hair. It is supposed to take the curls and make them sleeker and more manageable. She put a bit of the creme onto my hair and rubbed it in. She asked if I would like to purchase a bottle of it. I asked how mush it cost and she said $18. I responded, "Not a bad price" but in my head I was thinking, "Are you nuts?" It was an 8 ounce bottle. If I spent $18 on a hair product, I would expect it to be at least 64 ounces. I said I would see how it worked and let her know. I woke up this morning to the same curls I have had for 50 years. The only difference was that I still had the $18 in my wallet.
