Thanks, lalala. Do you work for Loreal? That is exactly what they suggested when I called them to inquire about how to acquire these amazing products in the US. I have tried Vive. Close, but no cigar--not even a cigarette butt.

Maybe there will come a time when my old friend TWIZ will have some spare time to investigate the FDA and discover whether or not this practice, of restricting the really great beauty products from the U.S., is a secret plot to make American women less attractive than European women.

What will I do if he discovers that the FDA has valid reasons for restricting these products. YIKES, would I sacrafice great hair for environmental protection. I have already given up meat and would happily give up driving a personal car, but, WOWSER, giving up great hair is an entirely different story.
