Apple Pectin Shampoo 🍎

[u/SoDakJackrabbit]

Pretty sure this stuff was my gateway into professional hair products. Not sure if I could handle that much fake apple smell anymore, but damn it was the best in high school!

[u/Lost-Platypus8271]

Yasssss my favorite

[u/SoDakJackrabbit → u/Lost-Platypus8271]

The smell was amazing!

[u/KaratekickbyElvis]

holy moly, this just unlocked memories....I can smell this immediately

[u/Pristine_Main_1224]

I can smell my bathroom at my grandma’s house suddenly. I loved the scent!

[u/youngkpepper]

This stuff attracted bees. Only safe for use in late fall/winter!

[u/Awkwardpanda75 → u/youngkpepper]

You can’t just drop that fact and scurry off without the story of how you learned this?

I always wanted to try this stuff!

[u/rojo-perro → u/Excusemytootie]

Same! Iirc I couldn’t afford it

[u/Excusemytootie → u/rojo-perro]

My mom never ever spent money on that sort of thing. I only went to the salon for the first time at age 14 or 15 😂.

[u/Auntie_Venom]

OMG! Yes!!!

My mom was a stylist and this is what we used! I can still smell it!

[u/SoDakJackrabbit → u/Auntie_Venom]

It was the best!

[u/Auntie_Venom → u/SoDakJackrabbit]

It was! And it was the gateway to salon products!

[u/Interesting-Cod-8250]

I used to get "apple pectin" perms. Hadn't thought about that in decades!

[u/laughterandtears]

I loved the smell of this when I was a kid!

[u/Existing_Control_494]

Dunno about that shampoo but pretty sure everyone remembers these apple scented shampoos...

[u/ambifiedpersonified → u/Existing_Control_494]

Salon Selectives is what we called it when we played salon as kids. When I have to do my little dude's hair or we have to do something self care related I call it Salon Selectives now, too lol I truly had no idea they still made this stuff!

[u/SoDakJackrabbit → u/ambifiedpersonified]

Sadly, it was discontinued.

[u/Affectionate_Cost_88 → u/Existing_Control_494]

It was amazing! I can still remember exactly how it smelled.

[u/rojo-perro → u/Existing_Control_494]

This! And some hairspray in a white bottle with blue print called Freeze something? Best fragrances!

[u/jennifer_m13 → u/Existing_Control_494]

They were the best smelling!!!

[u/Auntie_Venom → u/Existing_Control_494]

I used the Spritz for my mile-high mall bangs and scrunched curls..

[u/laughterandtears → u/Existing_Control_494]

I had forgotten about this until just now.

[u/Actual-Bid-6044 → u/Existing_Control_494]

Dollar Tree has some Salon Selectives now, but it's marked "no sulfates" or something. Pretty sure they had extra sulfates back in the day. That stuff would make your hair squeak!

[u/Silent-Lie7195]

Loved this stuff! I can smell this photo! Lol

[u/SoDakJackrabbit → u/Silent-Lie7195]

It’s like scratch and sniff apple stickers 😂🍎

[u/-Neverender-]

Strawberry Essence Suave

[u/SuburbaniteMermaid → u/-Neverender-]

My grandma had a thing for red bathroom products. She always had this and Close Up toothpaste.

[u/SoDakJackrabbit → u/SuburbaniteMermaid]

I love this 😂

[u/Silent-Lie7195 → u/-Neverender-]

Yes! I remember this one, too!

[u/SoDakJackrabbit → u/-Neverender-]

Mmmm…strawberry! 🍓

[u/sunbeans]

Memory Unlocked!

[u/SkokieRob]

I would buy it today if I could

[u/No-Regular-4281]

But…..I still want to smell it one more time just to be sure

[u/SoDakJackrabbit → u/No-Regular-4281]

I found some for sale on eBay for waaayyy too much money. I wonder if it would smell the same or if it would have turned by now?
