My complaint today is about shampoos/conditioners and the inconsiderate manufacturers who write in teeny tiny writing in a colour which blends in with the colour of the bottle (the worst being Herbal Essences orange bottle 'Citrus Lift' and Herbal Essences red bottle 'Frizz Fighter'). It seems to be the one bit of the label one cannot read, and yet, surely, the most essential. For instance, when I look at the Clairol herbal essence bottle without my glasses, I can still read: 'Fruit Fusions'; 'citrus lift' and 'uplifting volume'. And that's it. The rest is a mystery to me.
When one is in the shower, it is not practical to don one's £2 from Poundstretcher's reading glasses to find which is the shampoo and which is the conditioner. I've tried, but within seconds they become steamed up. Holding the bottle as far away as the length of my arms will allow and squinting my eyes till they ache doesn't work either. I have to leave it in the lap of the gods and hope I've put the right one on. I know that might sound a little melodramatic, but still, it's just annoying.
You may say, why not sort it out before you get into the shower? Cleaerly, you are not middle aged. Not only am I becoming more long sighted by the day, but also more forgetful. I could line up 2 bottles and by the time I was in the shower, would have forgotten which one is which. Why don't the manufacturer's realise that even middle aged and old people need to wash their hair? GO on, be considerate and print the frigging label so we can read it.
