I haven't written up an experiment since O-Level Physics. As I recall, the correct layout goes something like this.
Hypothesis: That, since all cleaning products are essentially identical, being designed to interact with cack and water so as to form a rinsable slick or sludge, it should be possible to replace expensive types of cleaning products with cheaper ones.
Prediction: When washed in alternative cleaning products, hair will become clean.
Equipment: One shower, some dirty hair, some washing up liquid, clothes detergent and kitchen cleaner, no shampoo.
Method: Whilst showering, I washed my hair in the above products.
Results: The results were unsatisfactory from a personal grooming point of view.
Conclusion: All cleaning products are not in fact essentially identical.
So now you know. It's not the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, but in some small way I've been there for you.
I recently used my dog's "Tearless Tropical Coconut Shampoo" when my scientifically formulated V05 ran out... results were also unsatisfactory.
