lol. indeed.
I actually don't use it any more... but as a kid, this is all we had in the house for hair washing. it came from my mom... she had severe alergies, and palmolive does not affect the skin the way most shampoos do.
in essence, they are the same thing... grease cutters in gel form. shampoos just have more dyes, fragrance and vitamin additives, none of which do anything for your hair really.
