*"Gee, your hair smells terrific!”

Tweet

Have you used this shampoo? I used this shampoo with the most fragrant smell, and it cleansed my hair, leaving it soft and silky. I used this in late 80s and early 90s until it disappeared from the grocery stores. I can still recall the advertisement on TV, and it went this way: A lady talks on camera: “I don’t use ‘gee, your hair smells terrific’ just because it smells good. I use it because it’s a good shampoo. My hair is clean and shiny, and even though it smells terrific, I just don’t believe anyone would ever tell me so.” Then a man passes by and smells her hair and says, “Gee, you hair smells terrific!” and then the lady smiles sheepishly and says, “I guess you’d never know.” I thought about this because my son, after his bath, would kiss me and let me smell his hair. It smells like the apple, because I gave him my shampoo. It is the green one. The Nivea is a body wash also for him. Also, I remembered a former student of mine (who is reviewing for the nurse’s licensure examination) who was so untidy that his uniform was grayish-white, had unkempt hair, and worse, has body smell. Once, when I was near his head, I smelled his hair and I uttered, “Gee, your terrific hair smells!” I then told him about personal hygiene because as nurses, we should be clean and neat. How do you tell somebody if his hair smells?
