while washing my hair this morning, with my new wild strawberry shampoo ($1.69!), i wondered how it is that pretty, coloured liquids (like my bright red shampoo) become white when lathered. is this something the chemists have done in the lab knowing that most people won’t believe they’re getting clean without pure white later or is it a curious property of lathering products? it made me wonder if the multi-coloured soap that oozes from the soapbrush at the wand-wash i went to on saturday is defective somehow for being shades of pink and yellow. i think it would be pretty damn cool to be lathering up with bright purple or blue bubbles.
hey, do bubbles glow under black lights? now there’s some interesting possibilities!

2 Thoughts on “tiny bubbles

  1. i used uberexpensive ($14.95) bumble and bumble redinating hair cleaner (not the actual name) and it lathers up an orangey red. before you make fun of me, $14.95 a bottle is much cheaper than spending $60-70 ever 6-8 weeks to get your hair colored. with the super redinating shampoo i only need to get my hair colored every 6-8 months.

  2. gah, heather, i’m not going to be able to shower anymore without that question burning in my mind!!
