  • The global shampoo market is expected to reach an estimated value of $25.73 billion by 2019.Here's how it goes. In olden days dirty job = dirty hair so some smart dude comes up with a shampoo that smells like toilet cleaner eg Vosene (showing my age). Then the body products industry in it's infancy decides that if we can be persuaded to wash our hair every week they will sell shedloads of lovely smelling shampoo, Cue advertising etc. Then we discover that not washing hair for a couple of days produces greasy hair! Result for the shampoo makers!!!!! - wash hair more often. Only that strips all of the oil and leaves dry hair. Wahey - conditioner - daily!. Then when you think that's it all sewn up - combined shampoo and conditioner - a product that takes oil out and puts oil back - all at the same time - every day. Jeez - you wouldn't do this to your dog! Then there's toothpaste, bionic yoghurt, under-arm, shower-gel, vitamins, eye drops, the list is endless....and rubbish! It's all in the name - sham and poo.

  • Just to add one more bit to this. A couple of decades ago there was a small change to the usage instructions suggesting if your hair was particularly dirty you should reapply shampoo for a second wash. Sales boomed.
