But ever since then, things have developed at great speed. A wide variety of     3     related to hair have made their way into every single family, such as shampoo, conditioner, hair cream, hair oil, brilliant hair decorations, hair     4    , hair driers and so on.

Cleanliness is not the final purpose. People become more     5     with the quality of the hair. They lay more stresses on how to make their hair     6    , shiny and healthy.
