Most of them have some kind of ingredient that does something. I'd be more impressed if, say, Pantene said that their smoothing shampoo smoothed better than *the leading national smoothing shampoo* or something like that. Its like they're comparing apples to bananas and saying bananas are better because they don't have seeds. Well no kidding, your shampoo moisturizes better than a non-conditioning shampoo.... Its by definition non-conditioning. Oh well. I’m curious to know what shampoo isn’t conditioning these days. Most of them have some kind of ingredient that does something.

I hope advertisers ARE listening and feel enough pressure to make some changes. The "Dirty Mind" Dove commercial was cute at YouTube! So was Jimmy Kimmel's Uncle Frank.
