The message
from "michael adams" contains these words:


I stand to be corrected, but as I understand it, the main determinant
of hair condition - which presumably includes shiny hair, is diet
What's ingested rather than whats applied externally.

That's a bit like saying the main ingredient of a beautiful model's
complexion is diet. These days, it's down to the coating she applied to
her skin. Same with hair. You can eat lots of oily fish and nuts; or,
you can apply conditioners and polishers (during washing, or after it,
or after it dried) which build up a surface sheen/ shine. Hairdressers
use many different finishing-conditioners and "hair polishers". (If you
don't ask what they put on, you'll never be able to recreate the
fabulous new look you walk out with). Quite often one sees people who
overdid it with the glosser and their hair looks as if it was recently
dipped in a chip pan.

Yes I know exactly what you mean. The odd fossilised chips and crunchy bits
are a dead giveaway.
Daft as it seems I would guess that lard could cause less harm than some of
the gear contained in a few hair formulations.
