🧴The Shampoo That Betrayed Me

 There are moments in life when you question everything—your choices, your confidence, your trust in bathroom products.

This was one of those moments.

It was a normal morning. I had my music on, the shower was warm, and I was feeling optimistic. I reached for what I thought was shampoo—sleek bottle, blue label, smelled amazing.

I lathered it into my hair like I was in a commercial. So. Much. Foam.

But something was... off.

My head started to feel weird. Not clean-weird. Tingly-weird.
Then it got warm. Then hot.

Panicking, I opened my eyes (big mistake) and realized the truth.

I had just massaged muscle rub into my scalp.

Apparently, someone had put their pain relief gel right next to the shampoo, and I—genius that I am—went in blindly like a confident raccoon.

The next five minutes involved frantic rinsing, cold water, and a silent prayer to every hair god in existence.

My head smelled like minty despair for the rest of the day. People kept saying, “You smell… fresh. Like a very aggressive cough drop.”
