Excuse me, but where exactly is this shampoo designated as “women’s” or “men’s”? On the label? On the shelf? Does your CVS have separate sections for men and women?
now, tell me honestly, did you jot these down to blog about them later or is this list from memory? Either way, rock on with the blogging.
There are a few gender-neutral shampoos out there (a “family size” is a telltale sign). But most are now marketed with gender-specific advertising and design language (shapes, colors, fonts). Women’s shampoos are rarely marked with their intended buyer but for some reason the three men’s shampoos listed here have “FOR MEN” printed prominently on their bottles.
amrys, that is an excellent question!
I like how the two levels of dandruff are “intensive” and “extreme.”
