Shampoo Secrets
Take a stroll down the hair care aisle at your local drugstore and you’ll find dozens of shampoos for every type of hair. “Not all shampoos are alike — there really is a big difference between products designed for different hair types, or to achieve different looks,” explains leading hair care research scientist Steve Shiel, a Pantene hair care expert who holds a doctorate in organometallic chemistry.”Shampoos contain different types and levels of active ingredients, designed to provide conditioning, detangling, volume and many other benefits to get healthy hair.”

geared to tinting, dying, and buffing the concrete until it looked like marble or granite.
I just wanted concrete!
