Phillipe, who owns the "in" salon in West Podunkville, got my wife addicted to a "product" line called Pure Hair. She's almost out of something, and asked me to stop by Phillipe's and pick some up on Monday when I was in that part of town.
Phillipe wasn't in, but Isabella told me that they were out of Pure, and suggested a few other salons. None of them carried it. I asked Wanda from next door, and she doesn't carry it. (She laughed at me, and told me "that's what you get for allowing your wife to go to that phoney baloney over in the ritzy part of town -- his real name is Phil, and he ain't even gay."
A little internet research tells me that the stuff is made by altec, a company owned by L'Oreal (Mrs. Not Bob was crushed to hear this -- "hell, even the Piggly Wiggly sells L'Oreal!"), and it looks like the line has been discontinued.
But a few online places still seem to have it -- anyone ever heard of beautyjunky.com? Or have any trusted sites to suggest?
Thanks.

Not to pile on, but L'Oreal is French. They own many upper end cosmetic divisions including Lancome, Biotherm, Kiehls, Shu Uemura (which surprised me), Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren.
Their grocery store line is promoted as being essentially (not exactly) the same as the Lancome stuff, only not in the foo foo packaging.
But the advice you've received is correct - get her something different. It was time to change anyway. I get bitched at because I have no less than 4 different types of shampoo in the shower at any given time. But I have a sensitive scalp.
