"  Freshman year of high school, a girl on my lacrosse team, let&amp;#039;s call her Fiona, had the most amazing hair any of us had ever seen. It was the kind of allover golden color\u2014with mossy soft baby blonde patches at the temples and hairline\u2014that clearly indicated exceptional breeding. On game days, she&amp;#039;d pull the heavy thicket into a high ponytail and secure it with a gingham-print ribbon. Who knows if she even scored any goals; she&amp;#039;d already won the world. In an attempt to mimic her enviable volume, one night before a big game I slept with my hair in a set of pink foam curlers. The next morning, after unfurling my strands from the Pepto-pink clamps, I more closely resembled Jennifer Grey in Ferris Bueller&amp;#039;s Day Off than the all American girl next door. Even with the aid of a moistened hair brush, I ended up with a frizzy pom pom the circumference of a Kush ball.

Every time I get highlights, the colorist invariably tells me that I have &amp;quot;a lot of it.&amp;quot; However, I happen to have a lot of very fine, very color treated hair. And I&amp;#039;ve been coloring it since I was 13. But back to the Kush ball incident. On the way back from the game\u2014I&amp;#039;d just played some very mediocre midfield for our JV squad\u2014I asked a friend of mine, who just happened to get rides to school from Fiona, how my muse happened to be born so perfect. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s her shampoo!&amp;quot; my friend said. &amp;quot;She uses this horse shampoo.&amp;quot; Horse shampoo, horse shampoo, I thought. Gotta get some of that horse shampoo.

I soon found out that this &amp;quot;horse shampoo&amp;quot; was called Mane &amp;#039;n Tail and that they sold the stuff at my local CVS. Huzzah! I immediately went out and bought a bottle. After one application, my hair was immediately thicker and shinier. And when I pulled it into a ponytail, the strands felt plump and elastic. I probably had the second best pony on the squad that day. Recently, I wrote about all of the beauty products we obsessed over in the &amp;#039;90s. (On closer examination, it seems that our teenage selves fully believed that the only thing between us and our best selves was a buttload of glitter.) So when I heard that Mane &amp;#039;n Tail launched a version of their classic formula for color treated hair, I couldn&amp;#039;t believe my luck. And when they sent it over for me to try, I was equally happy they hadn&amp;#039;t downsized their classic yellow-and-blue packaging. In my old age I&amp;#039;ve become a lot like those AT&amp;amp;amp;T commercial kids: bigger is totally better. I usually rely on whatever rosewater-and-caviar product my salon peddles, so I felt like I was getting away with murder when only a few squirts of product produced a full-on lather. And after spritzing on some of their detangler, my brush cut through my squeaky clean strands like a hot knife. As if I was back in high school, I busted out the round brush and carefully gave myself a Fiona-style blowout. My hair felt lush and flexible; instead of my usual crown of flyways, my part was smooth and luminescent. Next step: Prom Queen. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
