I can still remember the smell of the original Pert shampoo and the bright green color. Personally I think it made your hair feel softer than Pert Plus and the scent was so much better. Sometimes I wish somethings wouldn't change.
lol..i also remember it coming out and the couipons section of the sunday paper had an ad with a scratch and sniff of how pert smelled...lmao dont know how i remember that.
I remember going swimming and the scent would be just as strong getting my hair wet as if I had just washed it.
Oh man, I looooooooved Pert shampoo when I was a kid. It was the best. Sometimes I get it every now and again these days, but it just isn't the same.
haha in my math class we are doing continuous exponential equations, and the forumula is Pe^rt and my teacher always says "rinse wash repeat!" when we do one of those
Shampoo companies like to end the instructions with 'repeat'. It gets people to use twice as much product for no reason (other than to boost company profits). .
I remember the original Pert. I also remember Prell - thick dark green shampoo gel in a clear toothpaste tube with a white cap. What about YuccaDoo and Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific? What marketing genius thought up those? They have Classic Coca Cola along with Coke, why not have original Pert along with Pert Plus?
This has been bothering me for a while. I just noticed that the last pert bottle I bought has an awful smell. I had noticed the same change in two other products; Gillette Clear Gel Antiperspirant and the Swiffer refills with the Febreeze scent. These two products also smelled really nice and clean and didn't bother my sinuses. Note, I have been using the Gillette Clear Gel for more than 12 years and the Pert since the mid 80's. But, within the last year, around the same time, I began to notice a terrible and annoying perfumy smell in all three of them. The strange thing is, that the additional new foul scent is similar in all three. Finally, tonight, I checked them all. They are all made by Proctor & Gamble now. Mystery solved. I just wonder what they put in there and why. It is definitely not an improvement. I am irritated by this and will no longer purchase Proctor & Gamble products, because they should leave well enough alone.

it did may have smelled great but, back then and, as today; it is the worst shampoo for cleaning adult hair. the only shampoo worst then pert for cleaning adult hair is baby shampoo. more people develop scalp problems from pert then, from the most harsh shampoo. the reason for that is because, it does not clean well enough to pervent hair and skin disorders. most people who use pert never have any of these problems. some people do though and, they must use something else for their hair. the best rule of thumb is: use a shampoo without a condinator added to it. shampoo. rinse. condinentor. rinse. yeah, i know, i killed everyones fun on this thread... i can be a real party pooper at times.
I thought you were supposed to buy the conditioner to try to repair the damage that the shampoo did. Most of the store-bought shampoos are much the same as laundry detergent. If you don't think so, look at the ingredients on both. Regular use of the shampoo damages many people's hair. So, as a solution to that problem, we're supposed to buy conditioner. .
There's a really old clip of Andy Rooney of 60 Minutes talking about store-bought shampoo. He went through all the different types and the marketing hype behind each class: the food ones such as Body On Tap which contained beer, the ones with fruits, the scientific ones with high-tech sounding ingredients, and so on. At the end, he noted that the main ingredient in all of them was water. .
