Spanish on my shampoo bottle


I was in the shower last night and I decided to attempt reading the Spanish on my shampoo bottle. When I looked at the bottle of Biolage, my shampoo, there was an English translation and under it a Spanish translation. The English translation was Hydrating Shampoo-Continuous moisture for dry, stressed hair. The Spanish translation was Champu Hidratante-Hidratacion continua para cabello seco y estresado. I was surprised that I knew a whole sentence on a shampoo bottle. I knew enough Spanish to know what it was saying. Hidratacion is a cognate for hydration, continua is a cognate for continuous, para is for, cabello is hair, and estresado is a cognate for stressed. I compared both translations at the end to see if I was right. I was so happy that I could read something that last year, I wouldn't have been able to read.
