Take the phrase "you smell like beer" to a whole new level with Duffy's Brew Beer Shampoo ($16). Made with Elysian Brewing Co.'s Dragonstooth stout, this 100% vegan shampoo leverages the hops, barley, and malt found in the beer to coat your hair with vitamin B, proteins, and minerals, while botanical extracts of acai berry, jojoba, aloe leaf, and sunflower seed help heal your hair. Sadly unavailable in a six-pack.
Rid yourself of unsightly shoulder snow with Dandrene Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ($28). Unlike most off-the-shelf solutions, Dandrene uses a mixture of Climbazole — don't worry, we had to look it up too — Pomegranate Extract, and other anti-fungal, oil-fighting agents to help clear out the cause of the flakes instead of just the flakes itself, meaning that while it might cost as much as 10 bottles of Head & Shoulders, it likely works 10 times as well.
