I don't know why people don't understand this, but maybe I'm in the wrong. When a baby shampoo says Tear free, no tears, or something of the sort, is that saying no tears as in the saline filled droplets from your eyes or no tears as in tangles in your hair?
Re: Tear-Free
Gotta love English, though...
You are not the crazy one! At least not this time
I have very long hair. That gets split ends like crazy. And is an enormous tangle after I wash it. I have never in my life described my hair as being "torn" or having a tear...pronounced "terr" not "TE-ar". I have never heard anyone else use that term for their hair either.
I don't know what is wrong with people. Are they just trying to be smart a**es because they have nothing better to do with their time? Somebody also needs to tell them that "if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in this shampoo, do not use it".
I'm also now feeling like an old fogie, because I remember the commercials where you can hear the word pronounced "tears". Pronounced like "tears" you cry, not "tears" you make if you rip a piece of paper.
I've never thought a knot in my hair being ripped out was tearing either. I do not understand people.
We saw her pediatrician later at the grocery store. Her eyes were still inflamed from the shampoo. He asked what happened. I told him, and he laughed and said, "Well, she will never do THAT again!"
This is what baby shampoo is all about.
Then why would they sell No More Tangles spray separately if the shampoo alone was meant to prevent both crying and tangled hair?
I'm an old -- this bottle was a staple in my house for my fine, tangles-at-the-mere-mention-of-a-breeze hair in the 70s.
Thanks! I never thought of it that way. Now I better understand why people may have gone that way.
Like another PP mentioned, for me, the commercials from my childhood are ingrained in my memory. In them, young children are having their hair washed. Not brushed. And there is sudsy shampoo near their eyes, but they are still smiling and happy.
So that shampoo meant no tangles, but J&J is no tears? English is a weird language.
I just went to the L'Oreal website and this is what this shampoo says:
"No knots can resist the 2-in-1 formula of L’Oréal Kids. It helps prevent split ends and conditions dry hair, leaving hair soft and manageable. Gentle formula is great for all hair types. Ophthalmologist tested so it’s absolutely tear free."
