Dinoblox Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 ...It's my first attempt at writing one, so I would appreiciate help/criticism :) Yes it is quite silly, It's just a bit of fun x3 Shampoo Shenanigans We all have those days, the wind is roaring, the rain is bucketing, and cold, still air clutches at your warmth. You struggle home, the weather seizing every opportunity to steal your heat and cosiness as you trek through the hazardous winter weather. Huffing and puffing – you finally arrive in your neohome. Now inside, you slump exhausted against the hard front door, your gaze wandering over to the tall skinny mirror kept in your hallway. And that’s when you notice what has happened. During you moments out in the unpredictable weather, your hair/fur/fluff has deteriorated into such a mess, it’s a wonder people aren’t tuting and sighing at you. Embracing you limp, lifeless hair fur/fluff, you shoot a glimpse up to the ceiling above and curse this disaster that had to fall upon you. We’ve all had those days - you fight with the weather and end up losing, your hair/fur/fluff suffering in the process. But, have no fear, this handy guide shortlists my top ten favourite shampoos to get your hair vibrant, volumised and radiant with minimal fuss. So what are you waiting for? Read on, and learn the secret to shiny healthy hair/ fur/fluff :D 1. Uni Shampoo “This bubbling mixture will clean even the grubbiest Neopet” Not just for Uni’s, this Shampoo even comes with a handy spout and handle to enable easier washing! The purple liquid cleaned efficiently, and left a distinct soapy smell afterwards. It’s readily available – costing roughly 500np from the shop wizard, and produces clean, clear results fast. 2. Scented Hearts Flower Shampoo “Your hair can now smell like the scented hearts flower with this shampoo.” Just as it says, this shampoo is essential if you crave for your hair to smell of fresh blossoms. It is a light silky shampoo, capable of a washing a lot of hair/fur/fluff with a single palm-full. The light pink is very appealing to more girly Neopets especially, and is essential for a quick burst of a flowery themed bath time. Costing roughly 400Np it’s not going to blow your budget either. 3. Usul Tail Shampoo “Cherry scented Usul Shampoo will have all of your Neopets in a frenzy to take a bath.” While my Neopets weren’t exactly in a frenzy to take a bath, both they and I appreciated the tasty cherry scent given off by this product. (However, it may not be a good idea to use this product near sensitive fruit pets) It cleaned thoroughly and left a glossy, fresh gleam. Costing around 750np, this uniquely designed shampoo isn’t a pocket emptier either :) 4. Chestnut Shampoo “If you are going to go nuts, start with this shampoo!” This is one of my personal favourites – the scent of this shampoo is like taking a brisk walk through a pine forest. It’s bursting with enhancers and leaves hair/fur/fluff in a great condition – perfect for styling into any design! However, this shampoo does have one set back, the price. Costing around 65,000np according to the shop wizard, this shampoo isn’t exactly the cheapest option. However, it is great for special occasions or a very pampered pet. 5. Herbal Shampoo “A shampoo that washes your hair and makes it healthier with its herbal recipe.” I always find herbal shampoos good for the scalp, and this one is no exception, leaving a sparkling feel. But, the scent may bit a bit too strong for some pet noses, and even I found it to be eye stinging in certain quantities. The shop wizard suggests about 8,500np for this fine shampoo. A little seems to go a long way, so the price tag isn’t too great for moderate spenders ^^ 6. Super Shiny Shampoo “A handy one dose package that will give your Neopets fur the shine they have always wanted.” Exactly as it says, this shampoo did indeed leave my Neopets fur super gleaming - even Ombrophobe’s, and she’s terrible with keeping her coat clean x) The best thing about this shampoo though, is that the packaging come with a cute pink bow, immensely loved by feminine Neopets all around. Again, about 8,500np for this fine product. 7. Watermelon Shampoo “Surprisingly, it doesn’t make your fur sticky.” Ever wanted your pet to smell EXACTLY like a watermelon, so much that you want to eat it? You have? o.O Then this shampoo is perfect for you and your delectable *ahem* pet. As assured, it doesn’t make your hair/ fur/fluff sticky (although it would be worth noting, it does make your palms sticky, very sticky). I personally love its packaging, brings a mouth-watering smile to my face at bath time. A mere 775np gains you this delicious shampoo. 8. Superstar Shampoo “Yet another fabulous product from the Superstar range. Guaranteed to remove even the toughest tangles.” I set this shampoo the hardest challenge, cleaning Miri, my Eyrie’s fur. He spends so much time in the sea, his blue fur constantly contains tangles, meaning it’s hard to catch him with a hairbrush! So, We began scrubbing away in the big white tub and surprisingly, it work really well! Of course, there were still one or two more permanent tangles in his ruff, but barring that, he escaped from the bath tub with no need of a hairbrush. Although it lacks a nice scent, it’s de-tangling abilities make it a regular for Miri’s fur. 3,500np for this fine product. 9. Chokato Shampoo “Let your hair smell like a salad and dessert at the same time!” So many shampoos shaped like food, but none can match the colour of this shampoo! A rich blue gel oozes from the bottle, creating a mass of foam to tingling your senses with its lucrative smell. Just make sure your pets don’t mistake it for a real chokato, I had problems keeping Ombrophobe from gnawing on the temping bottle! Not many of this shampoo appear when searching on the shop wizard, but you can pick up this shampoo for around 4,000np. 10. Grey Shampoo “Lather rinse and repeat... if you really want to.” Last but not least, the humble grey shampoo. With scent of falling rain and typically dreary bottle, perhaps it would be ironic to use this on a grey pet. Needless to say, I went and tried it out on a grey pet. It’s cleansing abilities proved themselves worthy, as I found no need to repeat the lather and rinsing, once was enough. What really tickled me about this product though was the colour of the liquid inside – bright pink, fuchsia if you will. Around 1,500np for this sad shampoo. So, now that you are educated in the ways of shampoos, go forth! And prevent your own bad hair/fur/fluff days from happening again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divya Bean Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I think that is really good!! That is such smart idea!!! But I have 1 thing that you can change: I would just take out the prices. I think it makes it too serious and it takes away from the funniness. But otherwise, it is really good!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losorlaugh Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Oh that is great ^_^ and yeah, take out the prices because prices are boring :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secre Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 That was amusing to read and it's definitely different! I do agree with taking the prices out. If you really want to you could keep the cheapest and the most expensive in and make some sort of joke or comment about it - but not all of them.
