Gee, your hair smells revolting
Laid Off Dad | March 6My wife was spelunking around our local natural foods emporium when she came across an all-natural shampoo. She’s always on the lookout for cleaning products that are free of industrial detergents and the like, especially when it comes to products our kids use. From what the label said, the shampoo seemed like it would be benign both to the environment and our kids’ tender scalps:
- Gentle, moisturizing shampoo.
- Leaves hair fresh, healthy, and manageable.
- Contains no artificial preservatives or colors.
After I tried a little in OneBert’s hair this evening, it’s clear what the label neglected to say:
- Smells like you spent all weekend shoveling moose turds into a campfire.
For good measure, the company would have done well to include a warning: “Use of this product could get your child branded as ‘that kid who smells like burning moose turds,’ and thus cause irreparable emotional scarring.”
Screw the environment. Bring on the Mango Tango.
We’re using the Suave Kids’ shampoo on the Munchkin, and her Auntie picked out Cherry Blast. Every time we wash her hair I have cravings for a cherry popsicle.
What’s the brand name of this all-natural shampoo? I’ll be sure not to buy it.
I still love Johnsons & Johnsons baby shampoo. *warm fuzzies* But the different flavors from Suave rock too.
but but but…does mango tango have formaldehyde in it? eeeekkk!
How about the stuff with botanicals? That seems to be advertised everywhere. Botanicals sound organic, and I know they smell good.
If they wanted to be truthful in a really foxy way they could attach one of the moose nugget novelties from Alaska to the bottle to up the cute factor.
California Baby products ROCK! You should check them out….all natural and they smell reallllyy yummy. Honest….

I second the California Baby products notion! My MIL buys them for us because she’s an all-natural nut and convinced we’re going to poison our baby if we use Johnson’s, but they really are great.
Haha! At least your 3 YEAR OLD isn’t telling you that YOUR hair smells. And just exactly what does my hair smell like, you ask? Umm… Rabies.
Yes, that’s right. R.A.B.I.E.S.
And I am sure this recent event has nothing to do with it.
I also like Burt’s Bees shampoo bar. It is very easy to use on small kids, no risk of spilling, and smells very good. I find that it’s easier to use on kids with short hair, though.
I’ll third the California Baby one. But also there is that Aussie brand, that I can’t think of right now, which smells like apples. I use that or Johnsons baby shampoo because I love the smell.
Except for California Baby bubble bath. Absolutely sucks. We have very soft water, and it STILL doesn’t bubble worth a damn.
Yeah #4 to California Baby. If you can’t find it let me know and I’ll be happy to send you some. True that the bubbles in the bubble bath are short-lived, but it comes with a bubble wand and it makes OUTSTANDING blown bubbles that can be directed onto the toddler or baby’s personage directly.
You’re right. Except for the fact that it doesn’t make bubbles that can be played in, it is a fantastic bubble bath.
Do the American thing, sue the bastards!! Start of with a low sum of $460 millon and then take whatever offer they give you:-))

Uh, I didn’t say they damaged me, just that they make crappy bubble bath. And I DID get my $12.50 back, thank you.
Deanna’s right. Burt’s Bees - no muss, no fuss, no spillage, and no moose turds that I’m aware of.
Dessert Essence shampoo is v good, and since it is just a mixture of different oils, even though they make a kids version, everyone in your family could just use the adult version. I hope this wasnt the stinky brand cuz personally I love it and think it smells great!
