bought almost every H.E. brand product available. I specifically
liked the shampoos and hair gels, and it didn't hurt that Proctor &
Gamble would offer "buy 1 get 1 free" coupons in the Sunday paper
every few weeks or so, making it that much more affordable. B/c of
the coupon deal, I ended up with a whole bunch of HE shampoos. One of
them was called "no flakin' way", which for your edification purposes
is pictured above. Since I had never seen this shampoo before, I
decided to buy it since it was only about $1.25 per bottle after using
the coupon.
I used it a few times, and then discovered the Whole Foods brand
Everyday Value 365 Herbal Mint Shampoo and fell in love with that,
thereby shelving my remaining HE shampoos. Before leaving for
Shanghai, I decided to take a few HE shampoos with me, since my
parents probably wouldn't use it and thus would sit in their house
untouched until I returned for a visit or for good.
Quite possibly, "no flakin' way" is the worst shampoo on Earth. Not
just the worst shampoo in Herbal Essences' distinguished hair product
line-up, but the worst shampoo ever. My hair never felt quite clean.
But true to my frugal and waste-not-want-not ways, I did manage to use
all of it, and I'm so glad to be moving onto the next HE shampoo -
"degunkify" - my favorite shampoo before it was displaced by the above-
mentioned Whole Foods brand. Not sure what I'll use after I'm done
degunkifying; the local markets here do carry HE products, but I'm
tempted to try out a Chinese brand instead.


What I love about Albert is that even though he is in China, and this blog is about China, what does he write about?
