We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

A shampoo could certainly double-up as a bodywash if you run out or just need to save time in the shower occasionally. Personally, as a guy, I am a big fan of using shower gel to wash my hair and body with. The shower gel that I use is not formulated to be used on hair but I don't care about that! A quick analysis of the ingredients listed on the back of a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of shower gel will reveal the chemical similarities between the two formulas; they use mostly the same ingredients. This means that a shower gel is a perfectly acceptable substitute for a shampoo and can be used to wash hair routinely. OK, this might not work quite so well for women who tend to have longer hair and should probably be using a proper shampoo plus separate conditioner. But for men who have short hair, shower gel works a treat to clean hair thoroughly. As an added bonus; virtually every shower gel on the market today tends to be PH balanced and also contains mild conditioning agents to soften the skin. Therefore the mild, PH balanced and conditioning formula of a shower gel makes the perfect substitute for shampoo in the shower and saves time and money in the long run. Showering is quicker and you don't need two bottles!

These dual body wash / hair shampoo products make your scalp very itchy. I was scratching my head so much I had to use some shampoo I had laying around to get it to stop and this was only an hour after using the hair and body wash. I agree with Amy.
