Abstract Shampoo is the most commonly used hair care product, typically in the form of viscous liquid. Shampoos are primarily been products aimed at cleansing the hair and scalp. In the present scenario, it seems improbable that herbal shampoo, although better in performance and safer than the synthetic ones, will be popular with the consumers. Objective of this work is to find quality of shampoo. In this present study we have selected various types of shampoo for their physical and chemical analysis. We select four different brand of shampoo from the local market. Different methodologies have been used for this work. We found pH values in the range of 5.07 – 7.33, conductivity 2117 – 2993 us/cm, acidity 0.047 – 0.44 %, ash value was in between 11.76 – 14.10 %, sodium was found to be in various range between 6.3 – 46 ppm. Other parameters were also tested such as dirt dispersion, viscosity, cleaning ability, turbidity and formation of foam volume etc.
