    You make both Formulations and you do hair strand testing. It’s not something you grade on paper.

      I don’t have the tools to check the amount of deposition.

      I did give the shampoos for 10 people to test, most of them liked the one with SLS but also most of them said the one without SLS makes hair more greasy. Does that mean it deposits more silicone?
