About Head & Shoulders
Head & Shoulders is an anti-dandruff shampoo launched in 1961, the first to combine an effective antifungal agent with a shampoo people were willing to use daily. Procter & Gamble spent a decade developing a formulation that suspended the active ingredient without separating, and it is now the largest shampoo brand in the world by revenue.
