This sentence is so much better after I stopped reading it as "xampu de frango" :)
I thought I was alone in this. Because frango does not sound at all like its sister language counterparts (poulet, pollo) I have a hard time remembering. Add to that strawberry in Italian is fragola!
I only remember it because there's a chicken restaurant chain here called Frango's... That's a good point though, does anyone know why the Portuguese word is so different to other Romance languages?
You are right, that's "rooster" in Arabic. I never made the connection but perhaps that's why I have no problem remembering that word.
It seems to me that instead "morango" is related to Italian "mora" not meaning "strawberry" but "blackberry". Quite confusing!
the shampoo packaging in Brazil has written shampoo, so I can tell you that here in São Paulo many people do not know the right name is xampu.
This has been up for 7 years, but it's still rejecting "champô" as incorrect? That's cool, I guess.
Given that articles are sometimes omitted in portuguese is it really an incorrect translation when saying "she uses A strawberry shampoo"?
maybe because that's not as literal as they wanted. (ela usa um xampu de morango)
Champô was marked as wrong. It's almost as if Duolingo doesn't acknowledge that EU-Portuguese even exists (or Br-English for that matter).

What is the difference between”She uses strawberry shampoo and she uses shampoo of strawberry?” or is there a strawberry that is a shampoo?
Ela usa xampu feito de morango She uses shampoo made from strawberries.
