Which Shampoo Makes The Hair The Strongest?

By~ Ashley D

 

***Abstract***

The purpose of this experiment was to see which shampoo would make the hair the strongest out of selected shampoos. This experiment started when the hair was washed for three straight days in a row with the Aussie shampoo. After the three days of consecutive washing was done, and before beginning to wash for 3 more consecutive days with the Pantene Pro-V shampoo, three strands of hair, from the back of the head, were pulled. These three strands of hair were taken and one end was taped to the table with the other end left hanging. The other end of the hair was looped up and taped to the table as well. Paper clips were constantly added until the hair snapped. After doing this process with Aussie shampoo, the whole process was repeated with
Pantene Pro-V shampoo, Neutrogena shampoo, Bath & Body Works shampoo, and finally CVS brand shampoo. The Pantene Pro-V shampoo was proven to hold the averaged most amount of weight (387 grams). Neutrogena was second in line being able to hold an average of 310 grams. Next came the Bath & Body Works shampoo being able to hold an average weight of 305 grams. Aussie was ranked just above the shampoo that proved to be the weakest with an average of 287 grams. CVS was proved to not strengthen the hair nearly as much as the other shampoos with an average of 218 grams, and therefore did nothing to the needs of strengthening hair and the Pantene Pro-V was proved to strengthen the hair the best.
