Shampoos and conditioners can run from a few dollars to more than $100. Elaborate marketing can make pricier products appear as elixirs to all hair woes and might make consumers think they have to pay more for a better product. But dermatologists say that over-the-counter shampoos and conditioners can work just as well as pricier products. Some brands are more expensive because they are private, smaller companies or have invested in sustainable practices such certified organic ingredients, regenerative agriculture and recycled materials.

The White House has announced a trade agreement with Indonesia. It was announced Thursday while Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto was in Washington to attend the first meeting of President Donald Trump's Board of Peace. Under the agreement, Southeast Asia’s largest economy will eliminate tariffs for 99% of American goods while the U.S. would maintain tariffs on most Indonesian goods at 19%. The White House is calling it a “great deal" that will “help both countries to strengthen economic security." Indonesian and U.S. companies also reached several business deals this week. They cover agricultural products and cooperation on critical minerals and computer chips.
A broad coalition of unions and farmers in India has held a one-day national strike against an interim trade deal with the United States. The strike Thursday disrupted some public services and factory work. Protest leaders say the pact harms small farmers, workers and local businesses. Opposition lawmakers in parliament demanded the deal be scrapped. Union leaders say the deal opens India to subsidized American farm products. They also condemn privatization and new labor codes. The government defends the pact and says it protects farmers. U.S. and Indian officials say the framework lowers tariffs and deepens ties.
Indian lawmakers from the ruling coalition praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for striking a deal with the U.S. to reduce tariffs on Indian goods. The opposition questions the impact on sensitive sectors like agriculture. President Donald Trump announced plans to reduce import tariffs on India, six months after imposing steep taxes. Trump claims Modi has agreed to stop purchasing Russian oil, though the Indian government remains silent on this. The deal includes reducing tariffs from 25% to 18% and India buying $500 billion worth of American products. Analysts urge caution, highlighting the need for clarity on the deal's specifics.
