Miss Shampoo (Chinese: 請問,還有哪裡需要加強) is a 2023 Taiwanese romance comedy film directed and written by Giddens Ko. Adapted from Ko's 2010 novel Precisely Out of Control, the film stars Vivian Sung, Daniel Hong, Kai Ko, Emerson Tsai, and Ying Wei-min. It centers on a triad boss (Hong) who falls in love with a hairstylist (Sung) after saving him from an assassination attempt.
Originally pitched to adapt Precisely Out of Control into a feature film for 21st Century Fox, the project was scrapped due to the company's acquisition. Ko then decided to adapt only the fourth chapter of the novel with Machi Xcelsior Studios, following their collaboration on Till We Meet Again (2021). The screenplay was conceived while Ko was producing Bad Education (2022), and principal photography spanned from August to October 2022.
The film had its world premiere as the opening film of the 25th Taipei Film Festival on 22 June 2023, followed by a theatrical release in Taiwan on 26 July. It received four nominations in the 60th Golden Horse Awards and seven nominations in the 26th Taipei Film Awards.
