Throwback Thursday: Salon Selectives Shampoo and Conditioner

One of my actual Salon Selectives bottles from the 1980's. Yes, I saved it.

Do you remember the first hair products that really changed your life? For me, it was Salon Selectives. In my mind, those pink bottles contained a little bit of magic. Every time I picked up a bottle and squeezed out shampoo or conditioner, I had the feeling that I was taking control of my hair and making it do exactly what I wanted.

I really can pinpoint my now seemingly inexhaustible search for the perfect shampoo and conditioner to my first jaunt with Salon Selectives. Day after day, these shampoos and conditioners just made my hair look and feel absolutely amazing. I loved that there were so many options formulated for different hair types and textures.

My favorite was always Salon Selectives Type B Body Building -- which in this day and age sounds terrifying, since I would have double the amount of volume in my already big hair -- but, in the 80's, bigger was always better! (And, yes, that is an actual bottle of my conditioner that I kept. Don't worry, there isn't still product inside!)

And, let's be honest, who didn't want gorgeously bouncy hair like these women:
