Blue Magic Conditioner is a popular hair care product known for its versatility and effectiveness. This conditioner is primarily used to nourish, moisturize, and detangle hair, leaving it soft, manageable, and healthy-looking. It is suitable for all hair types and can be used on both natural and chemically-treated hair. The main purpose of Blue Magic Conditioner is to provide deep hydration and replenishment to the hair, helping to repair damage, reduce frizz, and improve overall hair health. Additionally, this conditioner helps to protect the hair from heat styling tools and environmental stressors. It is best applied after shampooing, by evenly distributing a small amount of the product through damp hair and lightly massaging it into the scalp and strands.
In honor of Grease LIVE, which aired last weekend, I’ve decided to share this pseudo-doo wop song! So many pseudo-doo wop songs lately!! This song, “Those Magic Changes” is not the rendition from Grease LIVE, rather this is the version by Sha Na Na from the original film. Just a note, the rendition from Grease LIVE was wonderful by the way! I’m not sure when it will be available on YouTube, but it was definitely authentic! I will not spoil it too much, but it involved a lovely guitar vignette! Anyway, this version by Sha Na Na is just as lovely. A brief background on Sha Na Na: this band actually became famous after their performance at Woodstock in 1969!! Interestingly, this was the only group at Woodstock that played “old songs.” If you look at their set-list from Woodstock, all of their songs were either doo wop or old rock n’ roll songs from a decade before. Some of the songs were “Little Darlin,” “Blue Moon,” “Teen Angel,” “Duke of Earl,” etc!! The point is, is that this band has always been famous for playing old songs. Of course, now in 2016 the other sets from Woodstock are definitely considered to be old too, but even in 1969, doo wop and Elvis-esque rock n’ roll were things of the past. Music changed drastically throughout the 1960s. It was an incredible decade.
Changes refers to the key changes which show up, predictably, halfway through the song; the Harris version has background singers who sing the notes themselves, which I ve always liked. As evidenced from this blog, I am very passionate about old R B from the 50s and 60s aka doo wop , but I also thoroughly enjoy showtunes, jazz, and Beethoven.
It is best applied after shampooing, by evenly distributing a small amount of the product through damp hair and lightly massaging it into the scalp and strands. Once applied, it is recommended to leave the conditioner on for a few minutes to allow it to deeply penetrate and nourish the hair follicles. Afterwards, the hair can be rinsed thoroughly with water, revealing smoother, shinier, and more manageable hair.
Songs from Musicals: #30, “Those Magic Changes,” from Grease
Grease is, for a musical with only three important characters, maybe a little crowded with looks to Frenchie or Kenickie or Doody. What matters most in Grease are the presumed tough guy who ain’t really so tough, the nice girl who lives to preserve his manhood, and the tough girl who might be that tough as long as she isn’t pregnant. That said, I appreciate the endless versatility of what’s honestly a throwaway song. “Those Magic Changes,” when Sam Harris of the 1994 revival does it, is American Bandstand in a box, complete with screaming teenagers. Jordan Fisher, in the live performance on Fox earlier this year, crooned his way into our hearts with an acoustic version, an octave lower than what Harris was singing. Both are effective. For whatever’s wrong with Grease, which I blame for virtually every movie and TV show about high school, regardless of where it gets its origin (Glee as well as10 Things I Hate About You, American Pie to Heathers), there may not be a musical in the past fifty-odd years that’s been as successful at putting most of its musical catalog into pop culture; offhand, I think only Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera come close, and they only go one or two songs deep.
There’s a pun in place in this song, a pun so obvious and awful that I almost feel bad talking about it. It’s not a mistake that “Those Magic Changes” is placed at the beginning of the show in virtually every version; as I recall, the Fox production sends us back to Fisher a few times for reprises to finish off what they packaged for iTunes as a four minute song, but even the first incidence showed up pretty early in the telecast. “Changes” refers to the key changes which show up, predictably, halfway through the song; the Harris version has background singers who sing the notes themselves, which I’ve always liked. But there is the inevitable “teenagers are changeable and must change” business which goes on in the backdrop of “the Fifties didn’t let go of the Sixties as easily as y’all think they did,” which are both, of course, changes in their own way, the changes which dictate the course of the musical entirely. Can Sandy escape the Fifties? Will Rizzo survive the Sixties? Can Danny accede to any of the responsibilities of adulthood? Etc.
I’ve struggled for years to figure out what it is that grinds my gears about this musical. For some time, I think, I didn’t like it because my peers were convinced it had a happy ending, while I could smell (I was a pre-teen who thought “feminism” was a dirty word, so I’m definitely not going to say “understand”) something fishy about an ending in which a guy stays who he is and a girl is forced to renounce who she was before. But once everyone else still got the point, the musical didn’t entice me any more than it had before. I think the problem I’ve had is that for a show about those magic changes, the people playing the parts don’t flatter the changing. Grease doesn’t ring true when sixteen- and seventeen-year-olds play it, and yet it doesn’t work much better when a bunch of adults – Aaron Tveit at 32, Julianne Hough and Vanessa Hudgens at 27 – play people a decade younger. It may be that Grease, performed about as often as any other musical, is a rarity: it might be the book that can’t really be adapted to the stage or screen.

Overall, Blue Magic Conditioner serves as an excellent addition to a hair care routine, providing essential moisture and nutrients to keep the hair looking its best..
Reviews for "Blue Magic Conditioner: Your Go-To Product for Strong and Healthy Hair"
1. Jane - 1/5 - I was really disappointed with the Blue Magic conditioner. It claimed to be a deeply hydrating and nourishing product, but it didn't live up to its promises. In fact, it left my hair feeling greasy and weighed down. The scent was also too overpowering for my liking. I was hoping for a lightweight and refreshing conditioner, but this was definitely not it. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality conditioner.
2. Robert - 2/5 - I purchased the Blue Magic conditioner hoping for a solution to my dry and damaged hair. However, I found it to be quite ineffective in improving the condition of my hair. It didn't leave my hair feeling soft or silky, and I didn't notice any significant difference after using it for a few weeks. Additionally, I didn't appreciate the artificial fragrance in the conditioner, as it was overpowering and gave me a headache. Overall, I wouldn't repurchase this product or recommend it to others.
3. Maria - 1/5 - I have to say I was highly disappointed with the Blue Magic conditioner. I have thick and curly hair, and this product did nothing to tame the frizz or define my curls. It left my hair feeling dry and lacked the moisture I was expecting from a conditioner. The consistency of the product was also too thick, making it difficult to distribute evenly throughout my hair. Overall, I found it to be an ineffective and disappointing conditioner that didn't meet my expectations.
