This is how you get Negin's hair

When a package from Gisou (the brand of Negin Mirsalehi with honey infused hair products) arrives, the whole editorial team curiously flutters around it. But hey, it was addressed to me, so I took it home with the promise that I would bring the shampoo and conditioner (because that was what it was about) back on Monday so everyone could try it once.

So off I went this morning. I washed my hair twice and used the conditioner once. Nice, soft, pleasant. I didn't pay much attention to it because other things demanded my attention. Mouse droppings on the piano keys, for example. Yes, you read that right, yes. Mouse droppings. I briefly held the vain hope that it was sprinkles, but from my own field research, I can tell you that sprinkles shine and mouse droppings... Well, they don't.

I made some sandwiches, walked the dog, flipped through the morning newspapers, and suddenly realized that the crucial hair drying moment had arrived. The drying moment is the essence of good hair. If you start drying too early, by the time you start styling, you're so done with it that you rush through it. If you start too late, it actually doesn't make sense. It's an art to strike at the right moment, when it's almost dry.

That's what I did. On autopilot. Just like I had done my makeup that morning without a mirror and instead of mascara the concealer on my lashes. Anyway. When I suddenly looked in the mirror, something caught my eye. My hair. How good it looked. Smooth, full, and sleek. I mean: those are the words you want to grab when it comes to describing your hair, right? No, I hadn't added any mousse or other miracle product. But wait a minute, I suddenly thought. That shampoo from Negin. Could it really be?

In any case, I'm not going to share that bottle and tube with my lovely editorial team for now. Just going to test it myself for a bit longer. To be sure. You understand, right?
