Hair Products

When I got my hair cut last week I bought some fancy conditioner that one of the women said I should use. I have rather dry hair, and from what I could make out of the French the woman was speaking to me, if I use this stuff I am going to have some old school Charlie's Angels hair working for me.
I was suckered, so now I sit with this stuff and am not sure how to use it. I thought she was telling me to sleep in it, but I don't think that is right. I think she was just saying to put it on my hair before I shampooed it. Tonight I thought I would put the directions into the Google Language Tools thing to see how to use it. Apparently I will be needing some heavy tools and flower. Here is what the translator spit out at me:

Apply to hair not wet in small quantity sure the lengths and tips, a hammer, using a brush and let set a minimum of 15 minutes, preferably in paper or aluminum-free cello. Eliminating the product followed by a light shampoo refer to your type of hair, or cream flowers if the hair are very dry.
A hammer? Come on...my hair isn't THAT dry. And do I "cream" the flowers myself? How does one do that exactly? I'm thinking a mayonnaise type thing...

Maybe you cream the flowers with the hammer? ;)

It'd be interesting to see the original French...

Ha - maybe! The odd parts are "...demeler a l'aide d'une brosse...Eliminier ensuite le produit par un leger shampooing correspondant a vitre type de cheveux, ou creme aux fleurs si les cheveux sont tres secs."

To me, that says:

Untangle with a brush... Rinse out the product with a light shampoo according to your type of hair, or a cream rinse (not sure what a creme aux fleurs is) if your hair is dry.

Don't know where the hammer comes in!
