Oh, does anyone remember Pert? I think it was Pert, at least. Anyway, the commercials had women jumping around with this glorious soft hair bouncing and flowing. I wanted that hair so bad.

Didn’t Pert Plus have shampoo and conditioner in one? That was a bomb.

And, baby powder. I never touched the stuff with kid #1. We use it all the time with kid #2, though. His butt needs it. We use J&J, but you can buy the talc free stuff. I think it’s just cornstarch. It might not have that sought after smell.

I will absolutely NEVER forget the Enjoli perfume jingle: “I can bring home the bacon…fry it up in a pan…and never ever let you forGET you’re a man…’cuz I’m a woman, Enjoli!”

I also vividly remember the Head and SHoulders commercials where they showed someone scratching their head and everyone else around them was appalled because it was a sure sign they had dandruff. As a kid, it made a big impression…I was nervous about an innocent head scratch for years! Still think about it to this day every time I have an itch. : )

PS to LUCIE: Totally with you on the baby powder. I’ve never used it once!

What about Dippity Do - I think if I smelled that green goop today it would take me back to a memory of setting my hair on giant rollers. Did anyone else use Wella Balsam, I had to get my aunt, a hairdresser, to buy it for me.
My boyfirend’s Dad used to joke that his wife used hairspray with “SUPERNATURAL” hold- that is what the label said.

Hey Lucie, I love good old J&J baby powder. My husband worries it will give the babies asthma so I only do it rarely and secretly. I also like the smell of J&J baby shampoo on the girls. On the non-baby front, does anybody remember lovely, citrus-y Sunnydrop shampoo?

This is probably from the 80’s or early 90’s but I believe my favorite perfume was Malibu Musk. (I also had Love’s Baby Soft though!)

Who can forget Aquanet hairspray? I wonder what sort of long term damage we did to ourselves and the ozone layer using that!?!
