A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that nearly three-quarters of the population buy shampoo in an average six months, with two very different brands currently vying for best-seller status: Alberto and Head & Shoulders. In the year to June 2016, 73.9% of Australians (14.5 million people) purchased shampoo at least once in an average six months. Some 14.5% of them purchased Alberto shampoo, just ahead of the 14.1% who bought Head & Shoulders. This represents a healthy year-on-year increase for Alberto (up from 12.8%), allowing it to overtake Head & Shoulders (down from 14.5%). Pantene (which, like Head & Shoulders, is part of the Proctor & Gamble stable) is third-most popular shampoo brand, purchased by 12.5% of shampoo buyers in an average six months. Palmolive (11.7%) and Tresemmé (11.0%) complete the top five.
