Why Is This Shampoo Called Head and Shoulders

Why is this shampoo called head and shoulders?

A man in a cap holds up a bottle of Head & Shoulders shampoo and gestures emphatically while questioning why the product is named after both the head and shoulders. The joke is that shampoo is used on the head, not the shoulders, escalating into an absurd rant about removing “shoulders” from the name.

Why is this shampoo called head and shoulders? This shampoo is for your head. What's the shoulders for? You don't use shampoo for your shoulders, do you? When was the last time you used shampoo for your shoulders? Oh yeah, that's better. It's for dandruff. Dandruff is in your head, the head bit I get. even head and ball bags or head and armpits but head and shoulders don't make fucking sense get rid of the fucking shoulders and keep it at head
