I've read that some [all?] of the shampoos that don't have the ingredient, Laurel Sulfate in them will not lather up or that it does not lather up as much.

It was conditioner, not shampoo. Some people leave conditioner on for a few minutes.

Is she blaming Walmart or Proctor and Gamble? What does the store have to do with it?

What is she funding for? Wigs? Scarves? Maybe that.

I wouldn't give money to someone who had a bad thing happen "just because", I'd only give if the money would cover some bills.

Weird. But I’ve had something similar happen. I bought an expensive hair product at a local drug store. The product is supposed to be an orange colored lightly scented cream. What I got was a white cheap cream rinse.

I took it back to the store, and that’s where I found that this was a common tactic among thieves. They purchase the product, remove it from the container, refill it with something cheap, take it back to the store and get store credit.

It’s theft.

I thought by buying a shrink wrapped product I would be safe, but my husband informed me you can buy shrink wrap machines and supplies at the local flea market. So even that is suspect.

Even buying online is problematic. I’ve purchased fake cosmetics on Amazon. Thankfully with their return policy, I’ve gotten my money back. And I make sure that I write down who I purchased the fake from, and I never purchase anything from them again.

Seems like there was a "revenge" scene about something like this in a movie(s).

EDIT: I looked it up. It was "The Other Woman" with Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, for one. They pulled the prank on the cheating husband.
