I HAVE on occasion refilled my hand soap dispensers with shampoo that I have purchased that nobody liked and that would have been thrown out otherwise. No one can tell the difference between it and hand soap.
I have filled Bath and Body pump hand soaps (that I got for gifts) empty decanters numerous times with shampoo that doesn't work for us. The packaging is so pretty, I hate to throw them out when the actual B&B soap is gone!
Did you know that if you dilute it slightly with water, shampoo and cheap handsoap refills works just fine for those hand soaps that are "foaming hand soaps"? The secret is in the dispenser pump, not the soap itself. My elderly mother figured that out and told me. I didn't know that, thought is was some kind of "special" soap that "foams"
I'll stick to shampoo for what is left of my hair.
After using dawn exclusively for dishwashing, and calling the roto router plumber every other year to clean out the pipes, I asked if that was normal.
He pointed to the Dawn dishwashing liquid and said " there's your culprit. It clogs pipes as it sticks to them".
Years later the housekeeping department complained the general manager order Joy dishwashing liquid instead of dawn. I said "you don't want Dawn, it clogs up the pipes". They said no it didn't, it removes grease. Just then the maintenance guy walked up, and with out warning I simply asked him " what does Dawn dishwashing detergent do?" Without missing a beat and no previous discussion, he immediately said "clogs pipes". He launched into a whole explanation about how it attracts grease by sticking to it, thusly it also sticks to pipes, etc etc.
So, NO, I won't be using Dawn for ANYTHING. I've had enough paying to unclog my pipes.
I'll stick yo a milder dish soap like Ajax or Joy any day, and haven't called Roto Router in 5 or 6 years now.
But I still won't use it for shampoo. I'll stick to Suave at the dollar store, thank you.

About as smart as a I'd expect a roto-rooter guy to be, and the sort of "I been doin' this thirty year and I know" bs you get from franchise service guys who bought a truck.
There is next to no way a detergent can clog plumbing. Clogs come from insufficient emulsification of the grease you're washing down, too much of it, and insufficient hot-water flushing after you do.
Remember, dish soap will also remove your hair color. Perhaps not all, but quite bit. Use very little of it, or you will struggle with rinsing.
Make sure you put a good conditioner on your hair after you wash it with a detergent.
It doesn't effect henna, which is what I use. I do a one time wash of the hair before applying the henna as it removes all the extra oil which makes it less good at absorbing the color. It also makes the color dye true. After rincing the mud out, I do a diluted Dawn wash, and then a good conditioner. It's hard to get all the henna out and it will remove it.
I only do this every month or longer so its not like I use it daily. But henna also strengthens the hair and leaves it much stronger than it was before if Dawn was used or not.
