Excerpts From A Book I'll Never Write

shampoo & conditioner

My shampoo and conditioner ran out at the same time.

Except i can't even remember the last time i washed my hair. It's tangled, tied together by a hairband that's barely hanging on a thin thread and it sheds leaving strands of blacks all over the room and i lost my hairbrush and it's greasy, disgusting. And i have always hated conditioner, it never rinses well. It stays. Lingers. Like a guilt. Grief. It doesn't leave my hair smooth and silky like it does to the girls on the advertisement. To me it damages. Not the good damage where you can get something out of it, it's a damage that causes split-ends and frizz and fall-outs and no matter how many other shampoos and conditioners i have emptied out before

it
doesn't
get
better

(my shampoo & conditioner can't run out at the same time cause i don't even have either to begin with)
