Conditioner

Today at a supermarket I bought a bottle of hair conditioner, cuz I was out.  Western brands float around occasionally, but 120 yuan for a bottle of familiar stuff is hard to do when the Chinese brands are like 30 yuan.  I have been using Loreal (which I would never even consider using in the States), because it's the only thing I've found here meant for curly hair, and I've liked it alright.  But my hair has been doing funny things lately, and it's getting hotter, so I thought I needed a change.  Anyway I saw this brand displayed with the other Chinese brands but that had English labeling and looked "normal", claiming to be from a Hollywood hairstylist, that was only 45 yuan.  So I figured I had found a deal, some random Western brand at Chinese prices.  Then I got it home and read the label, which I like to do, expecting standard conditioner-bottle talk, and found this:

George Caroll is an internationally acclaimed Hollywood hairstylist, television personality, entertainment and beauty industry consultant, and award winning beauty product designer.  George has been helping the stars and celebrities for years, now its your turn.  (no suspiciousness until the missing ' in 'it's'...but then...)
Is Your hair becoming a chemical products factory test it? As the wind, and Latin America, dyeing, hot inevitably damage the hair.  you need a more in-depth professional hair care.  Coenzyme QIO is the cell respiration and metabolism of the cell activator, is also an important antioxidant and non-specific immune enhancer.  it is the growth of cells in the body of natural nutrients, add in the Hair-care products can be quickly and fully absorbed, hair nourishment from the source.  Now, you no longer damaged hair for the Conservation of trouble. 

So is this really an imported product? Or is it faux?! I feel so deceived!
Regardless, I want you to know that I do not mean to mock this Chinglish.  I mean to study and appreciate its unique method of expression.
