Philip B. Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo

Cleansers USA Approx. $170

A hundred and seventy dollars for a shampoo, and the most expensive thing in this department by a distance. Underneath the amber is a long list of amino acids and humectants, and the instruction to leave it on for three to five minutes, which is the part most people skip. Included because the page is called Expensive Hair and this is the definition.
