The elusive conditioner had moved as if by magic to the “top” of the bottle. I turned the bottle over, removed the lid, extracted the conditioner and conditioned the few hairs I have remaining.

The other day I was in the shower and faced a situation we all face at some point. My bottle of conditioner was almost empty and I needed to use the last bit of what remained.

But nothing came out!

So I tapped a little harder. Still nothing.

Determined in my quest to condition, I began banging the bottle against my hand with such force that I darn near bruised my palm.

Typical male behavior.

And then it hit me. If I put the bottle back on the shelf upside down time would do what my efforts could not.

All I would have to do it set it up right, give time a chance to do the work for me and the results would surely follow.

When I came back the next day the magic of gravity and time had done its work!
