I guess I need to start encouraging my parrot to poop on my head more than he does already. I'm sure he'll be glad to oblige. #exotichairtreatments

Several months ago I stopped using shampoo and do what is called "conditioner washing" where, instead of shampoo, you use a lot of conditioner as you would a shampoo, then comb through and rinse. My hair is in phenomenal condition since I started doing this and the best thing is I haven't been using the expensive stuff I used to buy. Instead I switch around between Aussie, Organix, Pantene and whatever else strikes my fancy (and all are cheap and at the drugstore.) I was a little skeptical at first, but I was amazed at how well this works. Even my boyfriend commented on the difference.I don't need no frickin' pig placenta or bull semen!!!

Sure, wheat protein may work as well as bull semen, but where's the challenge in that?

Wait, what's that you say? You don't have to actually come in contact with the bull? Well, never mind then.

ETA - Does anyone need any bull porn?

It's the height of awesome to know that wheat protein makes me break out in a rash but I could put any sort of semen in my hair and be a-ok. Celiac ftw! Or, fts, more appropriately! #exotichairtreatments

I remember this coming up in a previous post's comments, but a lot of Indian women use coconut oil or almond oil in their hair. When I get back to the US, I'm thinking of returning to the practice because the water in my house is so hard that my hair becomes crunchy. #exotichairtreatments

@labratintraining: I do the coconut oil all the time. The oils help with moisture, the proteins help with strength and repairing damage. For natural protein (with a bit of an ick factor, but not as bad) do a mask of egg yolks. Don't do protein of any type too much or your hair will become brittle and dry. Always follow protein with a conditioning treatment.

Last Thursday, a pigeon shat on my head in what can only be described as a drive-by pooping. I had to rush into Saks Fifth Avenue to wash my hair in the sink (talk about humiliating). So, I am thrilled that courtesy of this incident, I will soon have lustrous hair. #exotichairtreatments

Nothing short of the hyperconditioning tears of orphaned seal pups keeps me awake under the shower anymore, ladies.

Let's face it: bull semen shampoo is still better than bull shit shampoo.

And I'm reminded of the zoo-full of delicacies sold at the Colosseum in Life of Brian: Ocelot spleen, wren's livers, wolf nipple chips ("get 'em while they're hot, they're lovely!") #exotichairtreatments

You know, looking at the picture I thought for sure the article was going to be about pigeon crap in face cream. Primarily because there's a scene in Memoirs of a Geisha where Sayuri/Chiyo scrapes pigeon poop off the roof and puts it in Hatsumomo's face cream. But the face cream was already made of nightingale poop.

I was sorely disappointed. #exotichairtreatments

@Dodgergirl: What on earth makes a whale vomit? And are they waiting around for the whales to vomit or is someone causing them to puke on purpose. #exotichairtreatments

So it looks like all those girls who get trashed and barf in their hair are onto something. #exotichairtreatments

@Aesop's Foibles. YES.: I knew that my "friends" who held my hair back in high school were just secretly jealous of my lustrous coif. #exotichairtreatments
