Humorous FAQ

Why do the plants in my shampoo seem happier than the ones on my balcony?

Because your houseplants feel neglected and envious of their bottled buddies, who have moved into a tropical spa-like living arrangement. A daily soak in a fragrant, foaming mixture is every self-respecting chlorophyll's dream!

Does using herbal shampoo improve my relationship with my vegetarian cat?

Absolutely! Using a herbal shampoo is the first step towards perfect harmony with your feline herbalist. He'll finally be able to rub against your hair without fearing the smell of steaks and will start daydreaming about a world where mice are replaced by frolicking carrots.

Are the performance levels of a plant-based shampoo measured in roots per second?

Precisely! Scientists have created a special unit of measurement: the "vegetative follicle per minute" (VF/min). More seriously, they evaluate its effectiveness on radiance, suppleness, and the number of "Oh, you smell good!" compliments you receive throughout the day.

Is herbal shampoo suitable for people who have a complicated relationship with salads?

Don't panic, the vegetables will stay on your plate and the plants in your shampoo. They both promise not to switch places as long as you agree not to eat your shampoo or rub your head with lettuce. Deal?

If my shampoo is plant-based, can I count it as one of my five portions of fruits and vegetables per day?

I'm afraid not, unless you're chewing on your hair with your aperitif. However, in the event of a fruit and vegetable shortage, perfuming your hair with a chlorophyll potpourri is probably the best way to sow doubt among your acquaintances... not to mention the squirrels!
