Creeva’s World 2.0

So I put hair gel in my hair today. We’ll pre­fix this with the fact that I don’t usu­ally use any “hair stay in place” prod­ucts. Why did I use it? I’m not sure. All I can say is I won’t be doing this again any­time soon — but I finally answered an age old question.

In high school I was not the most pop­u­lar kid in school — but which blog­ger or Inter­net pro­fes­sional was? Maybe the cur­rent crowd of kids — but not the ones that grad­u­ated over a decade ago. Man I’ll really hate when that becomes two decades. Back on topic. I was accused of hav­ing dan­druff. I did not have dan­druff then nor do I have dan­druff now, but I fell prone to one of the great­est fol­lies of the lower caste which was try to be like them. I used lots of hair gel in school — paul mitchell’s hair gel to be spe­cific — and by the end of the day I always had white flakes in my hair. Of course the flakes were gel and not a scalp issue. I knew this then.

I attempted to use mousse — which was my hair stay in place prod­uct of choice for the longest time. I also occa­sion­ally used hair­spray. While mousse and hair­spray gen­er­ally left less flakes at the end of the with the cost being not hold­ing as well as gel — it was always the same outcome.

Today at the end of the day (I was home 99% of the day run­ning out only to the store) my hair was full of white flakes. The rea­son being that I have a reac­tive habit of con­stantly run­ning my hands through my hair. It is more preva­lent when I have long hair (part of the rea­son I abhor pony tails) but I also do it with my recently shaved head (it does have some hair hence the gel).

What­ever rea­son I didn’t add two and two together all those years ago and this added to my list of rea­sons why I was fur­ther down the social caste chain. So this is more of a rant against my per­sonal use of hair care prod­ucts, but it needed to be said.
