Who is Alberto, other than the guy replacing our hail-damaged windows? Well, he has a beauty product I use, the name of which I shall divulge to those of you privy to my recent vow to keep Cheryl Ladd’s secrets safe, yet willing to share my own, and in light of my prattle about mangy-looking dogs.
Alberto VO5. Yes. Who uses that anymore? Apparently I and a few others, because it is still sold! I had to buy a new tube after approximately two and a half years. I put a little “dab” on the ends of my freshly washed hair to make it less brittle. (Living in a desert climate takes its toll in many ways.) Feel free to borrow that hint. Surely you’ll noticed the difference!
So, who is Alberto? Apparently he was the house chemist for the company. There are actually directions on the package regarding the application of the greasy combo, which contains no water and is really mineral oil. It was a fascinating moment of understanding after years of blindly following this regimen.
I have no idea why I actually read the box other than I had to wonder about the name. I probably should really be wondering why I still use VO5? And maybe I should get a Reader’s Digest subscription so I have something more valuable to read?
