I remember reading a posting awhile back regarding the performance of some drugstore shampoos and how they rate against high-end salon brands. If I remember correctly, a poster (who is also a stylist) objected to your analysis and stated that she "hates" when her clients use drug store brands and she could peel the silicones off their hair before shampooing. The Brains challenged the stylist to a "feel" test. Did that ever happen? I did a search but I couldn't find the original posting.
We're still waiting for Heide, the stylist who is doing the testing, to finish her evaluation of the tresses. She had a family emergency which has prevented her from getting to it yet but we expect results soon.
