As a kid, my best friend's mom (who was from the South) had this scary looking pink rubber thing with a hose coming off the end hanging in her bathroom all the time. I never did have the courage to ask what it was, but I had nightmares about that nasty pink thing! I was in college before I realized it was a douche bag! That bathroom was really upsetting to me. Also hanging in there was her dad's "razor strap" which my friend and brother "got" when they were bad. My family is from New England and I had NO idea what in heck this was, but it sure was scary. My mom was more refined when it came to discipline--I got the flyswatter on the bare butt when I misbehaved!
Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE!

lol kristie...your story made me remember one of my first jobs:
as a junior in high school i worked parttime in Rose's department store (i think the whole chain has gone out of business by now)....as a cashier....i grew up in the country and never learned much of anything about being dainty until i went off to college, so when women kept coming through the line on sundays (the first day of the new weekly sale) and buying 10-20 even more boxes of douche i asked my boss (an older lady): why, why do they use that and why do they need so much...and she told me she douched DAILY for cleanliness!!
yay for me when i sat in nursing101 classes a couple of years later and they taught us frequent douche=yeast infection
lol, and that's my TMI post for the day
Coming from a family where I am practically the only NON MEDICAL professional I can truly appreciate some TMI humor!!!

I'm cracking up here! It amazes me how different people have such different perspectives and priorities when it comes to grooming. Reminds me of many years ago when I was talking to an older woman I knew. We got to talking "girl talk" and she was absolutely horrified when I told her that I didn't douche, had never douched, and never planned to unless so instructed by my doctor! She believed that a "lady" douches every day and always after sex. Now, everyone who knows me teases me about being the Queen of Clean. I am grooming-obsessed, clean and scented, epilated, pedicured, manicured, and with every hair in place. But I don't douche because my doctors have always told me it is better not to.
I'm chuckling at a woman who thinks it is gross to "reuse" hair (which is long-dead and being reused when you buy it) and who thinks it better to put in icky hair because you're just going to throw it away anyway, and who doesn't think it gross to never fully shampoo her hair. I can hear it now: "I don't shampoo, I just throw it away!" Too funny!
her response: 'what, you REUSE the hair....that's nasty!'.......(in my mind i was like WTF lady?!)......she did admit that her BSS hair does tangle, which is why she only shampoos toward the end of her installs and really then just shampooing at the scalp
Ummmm re-using hair (if you wash it before re-installing) not nasty.. Only washing your hair towards the end of your install??? Ummmmm.. how do I say this.. Ummm.... Oh yeah...
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Girl.. it's not just a Southern thang!!!

So I wonder how she would feel if she really knew how the hair was collected, espcially the BSS hair, as most of it is picked off a floor then bundled up!!!
when she told me that she prefers 'new' hair with every install, i giggled and said 'honey that hair was used way before you even bought it'....she just kinda stared at me, like she didnt get my widdle joke
i talked with a lady the other day about her hair ( yes, i can now 'spot a weave' )....we talked about different kinds of hair......
i mentioned that all the hair i buy is off the internet, only hair labeled 'remi/y', and that bss hair in general gets a thumbs down from ladies on the hair forums....
i said to her that i kinda dont understand why, if the beauty supply store hair is known to tangle after just a few washes, how do they keep selling it and why do people keep buying it....
her response: 'what, you REUSE the hair....that's nasty!'.......(in my mind i was like WTF lady?!)......she did admit that her BSS hair does tangle, which is why she only shampoos toward the end of her installs and really then just shampooing at the scalp
anyway, just another example to me that everybody thinks differently....i feel much better knowing that an $80bag of hair is going to break down to maybe $10 a bag if i can get repeated use out of it........or maybe its from growing up in the south, we can repair/reuse everything till its deader than dead
