If you were a good, spoiled Cuban girl or boy living in Miami during the 80's, chances are you were a Chica or Chico Mirta. You probably got really excited when Sabado Gigante was interrupted by "Cinco Minutos con Mirta de Perales" and thought the only good looking thing about the models was their hair.
Your shower was stocked with such gems as Mirta's Milk Shampoo, Lemon Shampoo or, everyone's favorite, Mirta's Creme Hairdressing with Placenta. These products were usually purchased by Mama or Abuela at Sedano's, Navarro Discount or Varadero Supermarket ("Que diferencia!") and left your hair slightly puffier than you prefer.
