Dear Hair Milk, I'm writing this letter because, in all honesty, it's over between us. I've actually been seeing someone else for several months. I know we've been together for years and that you've always been there for my hair, but look... you changed. I know you went through changes before (remember when you tried to dress up like an actual milk bottle? That was so cute!), but this is different. You've really changed -- your ingredient list is vastly different from your previous formula. I know you say you're the 'original formula,' but you're not and my hair knows it. I remember the day everything changed... I opened up my Carol's Daughter package to find a different bottle inside. "Uh oh," I thought, "This is never a good sign..." But I didn't worry that much... I mean, you've changed tons in the last few years... several bottle redesigns, introductions of shampoo and conditioner (that I loved, by the way) and dismissals of the same shampoos and conditioners, introductions of a pathetic shampoo/conditioner combo (??)... I wasn't worried. Until I actually used you. You came out of the bottle lacking your signature sweet scent. You were nothing like your old self -- watery and weak (and yes, I compared you to the last bottle I was just finishing up... and yeah, you are nowhere near as thick as you used to be). I put it in my hair, no difference. It was like I put nothing in at all. I put more in my hair, again no difference. I used two to three times my normal amount and I still had poorly defined curls and tons of frizz. I wish I could blame something else, but the truth of the matter is that you are the only thing that changed that day. I went through the whole bottle hoping that I was wrong, that it would change... I mean you were the FIRST product that actually made my hair look awesome. I talked to everyone about you, about how much I loved you. I even dealt with your incessant price increases and product size decreases (I remember paying $12 for a 10 oz bottle... now you're, what? $20 for an 8 oz bottle?) because I could never put a price on my curls. Now, I doubt I'm ever coming back to you. Let's face it, I've found something that works almost as well (Curls) and is half your price. It's not as great as you originally were, but it's far better than you are now. You're watery and weak with no curl-defining, or frizz-fighting, properties. For some odd reason, you changed your *almost universally adored* formula and now you're a shadow of your former hair milk self. I gave you that second star simply because I couldn't one star you... not for all the times we had together. Anyway, I'm breaking up with you, Hair Milk... and it's not me, it's you.
