It's quarter past eleven....I logged on at 9.00 p.m.with the intention of reading one or two opinions and what happens..... I'm engrossed that's what....I've read about a Little Noddy Site, I've taken a nostalgic journey back to "Happy Days" and I've even read tales of wild sex with bubble wrap and l2 men (well Mates anyway).
So why am I telling you this? Because I want to write my own opinion that's why, but it's now probably too late and I may not get this finished and what's more, this happens to me on an almost daily basis, I get so engrossed reading that I never end up with time for writing.
Well here goes........
So what enthralling thing shall I write about ......shampoo......that's right - you heard...SHAMPOO! ! O.K. so it's not sex, it's not nostalgia and it's not even madly exciting, but this shampoo is good and I mean really good, so I'll give it my best try.
Like many others I received my little free blue bottle of
Circ shampoo through the post a week or so ago. It stated it was for men so I didn't pay much attention to it, but last week I ran out of my usual Asda's own brand and with lank,dirty and rather grim hair I raided the cupboard and came across my (or rather my hubby's) free sample. What the heck I thought - I'm not going baldy and I'm not a man, but I do have dirty hair that desperately needs washing and what's that old saying...What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve for...or something like that.
The bottle was tiny and I expected to have to use it all as I have rather a lot of rather wayward hair, but was I surprised.... one small dollop had such a luxurious feel. This shampoo was seriously different from any other brands I personally have ever used before. It was extremely thick and that small amount went a long way indeed, in fact I still have half my small bottle left.
As soon as the shampoo touches the hair you can feel the difference and you can actually feel the conditioning properties doing their work. I was extremely impressed. Having hair that travels in the directions of East and West while my spindly little body faces North and South (very South these days I'm afraid) it takes a great deal to impress me so far as hair products are concerned and I've certainly tried many in an effort to obtain the sleek sophisticated image that I desire, but can never quite achieve. I can say however, that after only one application of this shampoo my hair feels lOO% healthier. Why, I want to know though, is it only being marketed for men - can this be deemed to be sexist?
Talking about sexist, I tried to apply for a further free sample on the website, but found this impossible using my own name. There were no such problems however when I used hubby's name and a further free sample is now on the way - go to the website if you are interested www.circmen.com.
Well down to the basics. Circ shampoo contains ....so the blurb goes... polymer supplements to add thickness. Personally I can't say it made my hair feel any thicker, but certainly it made it immediately feel a lot healthier. Now wait for it....Circ contains TWENTY FIVE ingredients. I'm sorry, but I really can't list them all....but some of the ones I have never heard of before include Tallowamidoethyl, Hydroxypropyltrimonium and Methylchloroisothiazolinone - NOW DO YOU SEE WHY I CAN'T LIST THEM ..there are twenty five names like that. The Manufacturers are Proctor and Gamble of Weybridge in Surrey.
Circ is being marketed as I've said previously for the male population, and the more elderly male population at that. The shampoo is said to be an aid for baldness, although if you believe that you'll believe anything. Along with the shampoo, there is a spray on conditioner for fullness, a styling and cooling gel (well I suppose bald heads do get a little hot at times) and there is a scalp moisturiser.
And if my recommendation and the ingredients aren't enough to impress you, take a look at the bright blue website and perhaps enter the male model competition! ! ! but only if you are over 25. There is a £1,000 prize and the offer of a modelling contract to be had....I thought of entering the hubby, but he wouldn't put his false teeth in!!
Blast...it's almost midnight now. I've finished my op.but there won't be anyone around to read it ....everyone else will be in bed. Ah well...I'll log on tomorrow and read some more.

I ordered one for my husband, he's not got round to using it yet.

Damn! I received a sample of this through the door and I threw it away after reading it was for men with thining hair! (not only am I not male but I also probably have the thickest hair in history - and I certainly didn't want to add to the knots!!). Sounds great stuff - maybe I will get my (nearly bald!) Dad to buy himself a bottle :-)

I don't think marketing this at men can be deemed sexist, it's probably revenge. After all, you women have had a monopoly on cosmetic and cleasing products for years and years. It's about time us men got a decent product aimed just at us. It saves us shopping in Boots pretending we are buying things for our partners when it's really for us!
Advantages: Good sized bottle, pleasant smell and leaves hair with a new texture and feel (but not thicker) Disadvantages: Hard plastic bottle that becomes more and more difficult to squeeze with we hands
