Head and Shoulders
From Graces Guide
Head and Shoulders is a brand of anti-dandruff shampoo produced by Procter and Gamble.
Unlike other shampoos, Head and Shoulders had relatively few variations until the late 1990s and early 2000s, and there are now in excess of ten different kinds of shampoo for different hair types under the Head and Shoulders banner.
- 1950 Procter and Gamble researchers first decided on making a new anti-dandruff shampoo, when massive public opinion made it clear that the current products on the market were not helping their scalp problems. Nearly a decade of research went into making a new formula, which introduced the product pyrithione zinc into a shampoo for the first time.
- 1961 Head and Shoulders was first introduced to the U.S. market, as a blue-green shampoo formula.
- 1973 Head and Shoulders was introduced into the UK market. [1]
- 2001 The brand's "Extra Strength" product had a cameo role in the film Evolution, where its startling copper orange color was shown. Head and Shoulders original ocean blue formulation is more widely recognized.
