Sham Shampoo, Sham Conditioner
It is important to read the labels of products that you use on your person. Work duties brought me to spew my science rantings in Columbia, MO. While staying at a bed and breakfast, I showered as per norm and used the supplied shampoo. I then did the thing that I never do and used the supplied conditioner. A quick towel drying and then out the door…
At one point I walked past a mirror and thought that I saw Bowser from Sha Na Na. Some greaser was in my usual reflection, some prick gooed up with Brillcreme. Time would reveal that it was me, and that my hair was greasy, wet and slimy. It looked like it hadn’t been washed in decades and it attracted airborne dust, spores and crud. During an entire day of scientific discourse I sported a helmet of filth.
Later I returned to the B&B only to find that the conditioner was actually “high-moisture hand lotion”. Everything was now crystal clear and it took the rest of the shampoo to restore cleanliness to my follicles.

But I read somewhere that if you run out of conditioner, you can substitute with body lotion. But you must use a very little bit or you'll end up looking like a gavone.
Gavone (pronounced gah-VONE-eh) is a Sicilian term. It means someone who has come from the country to live in the city but still has a piece of goat shit on the heel of his shoe.
I gave up years ago on trying to choose from the endless shelves of shampoo and conditioners at the local drugstores. I always buy the cheapest. Right now I'm using a 15 fluid ounce bottle of VO5 Blueberries & Cream shampoo that cost me $.64. Gets my hair clean. That's all that I care about. Conditioner? If I can find a cheapie, I buy it and use it. If not, a little Vaseline body lotion does the trick. But not too much. I don't want to look like a gavone.
