  7. 2. Breadcrumb from original Paula Begoun To find out what the best shampoos are, we turned to the excellent book, Don't Go Shopping For Hair-Care Products Without Me.We also read excellent articles at the Web sites Which? Online and Choice Online, and Good Housekeeping magazine,as well as consumer contributions to opinion sites like Epinions. Consumer Reports magazine has a brief article on shampoo ingredients from January of 2004…. An earlier Consumer Reports article from 2000 is much more comprehensive and well done, but is too old to include more recent shampoos (“Shampoo Reviews,” 2006).
