The design problem is that they are so similar-looking. Most shampoo and conditioner bottles are so similar in their shape, designs, and colors. Most people do not read those tiny labels carefully while they are taking a shower, especially because they are taking a shower every day; looking at the labels all the time is bothersome. Also, during a shower, water can get into their eyes when they are trying to read those labels carefully, and some people with bad eyesight can especially not read them because most people do not wear glasses while showering. Due to those reasons, most people just quickly see and rely on their feelings. If the designs are similar, it makes them easily to pick the wrong one, which shows that the current designs of those are not very intuitive.

I have ideas to improve this problem. First, differentiate the bottle shapes of conditioner and shampoo. Second is to use a totally different fixed color that people find easy to recognize. Last one is to make the label and name words larger and thicker, which makes it easy for people to read.

These improvements can help people to use those things correctly faster and more easily. People would be less likely to grab the wrong bottle. The different shapes and colors would help people to recognize the correct bottle that they want by using perception instead of having to read every label and word. This makes the product more user-friendly and improves the problem.
