I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hairHas anyone noticed a trend among shampoo manufacturers, whereby their product now claims to do everything except the primary function of shampoo - namely, to clean your hair?
Read the blurb on your bottles of shampoo and see if I'm wrong. You never see any shampoo bottle purporting to leave your hair clean. No bottles seem to think that such a use is worthy of note, despite it being the only reason that we wash our hair.
No, nowadays, shampoo seems to be marketed as if it is designed to do everything else:
'Leaves hair smooth and silky' (so the fleas can't cling on?)
'Hydrates thirsty hair' (since when can 'dead' protein growth be thirsty?)
'Makes hair luscious and thick' (like ice-cream)
'Leaves hair glossy and manageable' (I've given up with the sarky comments)
'For that nourished effect'
'Leaves hair swishy and smelling great'
Yes yes yes, all these things are nice side-effects but what I really, really want is to get a nice clean feeling after a sweaty night where the cat has been sleeping with his butt on my head. I. Just. Want. Shampoo. That. Cleans. Hair. Can you do that for me, huh, mr Shampoo Producer?
'Removes all trace of cat-butt'
That will be the day.
That will be the day.

Most shampoos don't say "Leaves your scalp itchy and flaky" either but a lot of them do.
