let the sun in

I happened to be in outer suburbia yesterday. So I stopped by the CVS to buy some Sun-In for my blonde daughter. She squirts it in her hair before walking over to the neighborhood swimming pool, for that week-at-Bethany look. I searched the whole store. Nada. You mean teens around there are not blonde and don't hang out all summer at the swim club? Weird. At the snoburban CVS there is a separate display rack just for Sun-In.

I think it's a DC burbs thing. It was in heavy use when I went to Stone Ridge twenty years ago, and I rarely see it anywhere else.

Ha! Use with caution. I have dark brown hair and learned the hard way that Sun-In works on blondes only. I graduated high school with ORANGE hair:)

Another Stone Ridge graduate here - that stuff was so popular and definitely responsible for a lot of dry brittle hair of various shades of yellow.

Where do you define outer suburbia

[Lisa]

Wow, I can't believe that is still being used, more than 20 years after I tried it. I thought it would be considered low-brow, with highlights from the salon the snoburbia thing to do.

I'm w/ Mike -

What/where is "outer snoburbia" (including outside MoCo)? Is it a defined space, or a state of mind?

Hmmm....Sun-In only works on naturally blonde or light brown hair, so what does that tell us about the composition of inner snoburbia vs outer snoburbia? That might be why outer snoburbia doesn't carry it!
