 "Say Goodbye to Hollywood": Popular Music and Mythic Deconstruction in Shampoo
Shampoo’s ambitious intentions begin as the credits rise: a dark screen and the opening verse to the Beach Boys’ wistful ode to 1960s youth and exuberance, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” firmly establish the film’s project.
Shampoo contains many moments of counterpoint (the opening scene is a moment of classic counterpoint), as the passions and desires of the songs stand in stark contrast to the superficial concerns of the characters.
Shampoo gradually creates a dystopic atmosphere by way of its soundtrack: while the film certainly shows the free-wheeling sexuality and counter-cultural fashions embodied by many of the generation, when taken in conjunction with the music, the embracing of these elements did not automatically signify socio-political motivations.

 "Shampoo" by Chuck Kleinhans
Found in many film and stage comedies, the typical oedipal configuration presents a father-and-son rivalry for a woman (mother/ wife/ lover/ betrothed/etc.), and, due to the son's incestuous attraction to the woman (who is initially linked to the father), the rivalry operates as a power struggle within an authority relation.
Treating film characters as if they were real, and character (or personality) as a finite and limited thing has been compounded in our age by the tendency of Freudian thought to assume personality as a solitary reification.
The film is produced within and for a certain kind of society: it therefore employs the psychology available to that society, and unless we are similarly able to employ it we cannot read the film.

But in the film, as the Three Witches say in _Macbeth_, fair is foul, and foul is fair -- which is to say that in _Shampoo_, roles reverse and appearances deceive.
The visual look of Shampoo is very important since as the story gets deeper so do the colors (watch the scene where George cuts Jackie's hair in her bathroom while they both glow in the fading afternoon light) but you could never tell from the VHS tape copies or even on its scatter-shot television appearances.

The other is Shampoo (1975), easily one of the five greatest American films of the well-vaunted '70s.
It may be a film about the American class system, the failure of the left, and the death of hope, but it's also about fabulous (for then) hairdos, flowing scarves, and Julie Christie's perfect ass.
The fact is, it's precisely those elements (thrown in at Beatty's expense, not to his aggrandizement) that enable Shampoo to see through the vainglorious frailties of the American psyche.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Shampoo
Nearly every key film from the so-called "Second Golden Age of Cinema," beginning with Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 and ending with Raging Bull in 1980, contained an implicit — and often, for the first time in mainstream Hollywood, explicit — threat of violence.
One of the many reasons that Shampoo (1975) is one of the very best films of that era is that it features none of these elements, and is yet more socially relevant to more viewers than any of its more sensational counterparts.
The one aspect Shampoo does share in common with the other films of its generation is a refusal of the pat Hollywood resolution, preferring instead an honest assessment of the deflating constraints of irresponsibly spent freedom.

 Shampoo Film Review - Time Out Film
Made with all the awareness of hindsight, Shampoo offers a sharp sexual satire and a mature statement on both America and Hollywood in 1968, The Graduate as it should have been, perhaps.
Everyone is shown to act out of the same fatal expediency, as the country elects Nixon for President while Beatty's chic Hollywood hairdresser tries to sort out an increasingly dishevelled sex life, a campaign against the Establishment via its wives and mistresses that's subversive only by default.
Ostensibly a farce about fucking for fun and its repercussions, but the laughs are tempered by bleakness and the film ends up saddened by its characters' waywardness.

Released in 1975 during the messy cleanup at the conclusion of the Watergate era, Shampoo neatly bookends the Nixon presidency, and concludes with the frightening finality of an iron door slamming on a cell.
It is interesting and very unusual to see a film that is set in a time period, so close to the actual era that just preceded it.
SHAMPOO also takes its cues from British Restoration comedy like Wycherley and Congreve, a world of cuckolded gentlemen, odious bourgeoisie, discontented wives, and boys on the make, re-locating the center of the gilded universe from London to Los Angeles in the late 1960s.

If you consider that a hair product might have color additives that can add a bit of temporary highlighting, that would be of interest, but shampoos can't deposit coloring agents on the hair shaft very well because the detergent cleansing agents tend to keep that from happening.

The other kind of thickening shampoo is the kind that removes buildup from gel, hairspray, conditioners, the oil from you scalp etc. So without all that stuff weighing down your hair your hair bounces up again--giving the apearence of more volume.
Thickenening shampoos are very standard shampoos and the only difference is that the contain a gel or hairspray like plastic (these are film-forming agents like PVP (polyvilnylpyrrolidone), PVP/VA (polyvilnylpyrrolidone/vinyl acrylate) and various other vinyls and acrylics).

 Hal Ashby
While Shampoo is, at times, stylistically different from Ashby's other pictures of the era, it continues his investigation of the theme that most dominates his work – that is, the cost, both literal and metaphoric, of individual freedom and integrity in a world dominated increasingly by oppressive, dehumanising economic interests.
The film earned Ashby Best Director nominations from the Academy and from the Director's Guild; Voigt, Fonda and the team of writers won Oscars for their efforts; and Dern, Penelope Milford (as Sally's friend, Vi), Don Zimmerman (editor) and the film itself were all likewise rewarded with Oscar nominations.
The poor quality of the film is frequently attributed to Ashby's growing dependence on drugs and alcohol, which had precipitated a physical collapse during the Stones' tour.
