Minipoo Dry Shampoo
Minipoo Dry Shampoo
- Description
- Minipoo Dry Shampoo was produced from the early 1940s through the late 1960s. Dry shampoos usually featured fuller’s earth, which was used to absorb excess oils. Minipoo was clearly marketed towards women, and advertisements indicated that one could use this shampoo while sick in bed. It was known as the ten-minute dry shampoo, convenient for "surprise dates," and children-approved because no soap would get in their eyes. Minipoo would also protect your permanent wave. It came with a disposable mitt for application. This particular package was probably produced by the Stephanie Brooke Company, of New Jersey, during the 1960s, when the advertising slogan was "When you can’t shampoo, Minipoo."
