Q: may have swallowed a very tiny trace amount of head and shoulders, would this cause any harm?

: No, there should be no worry about getting a tiny amount soap in your mouth and accidentally swallowing it. Shampoo ingredients are not toxic in any way when ingested in tiny amounts. Swallowing large amounts may cause mouth and throat irritation and stomach upset.
