No it can't. Saliva has enzymes in it, enzyme means: "in life"-alive. Shampoo substances are dead, or chemical combinations which were never alive.

By that logic any cleaning detergent also can't remove blood, sweat, or other bodily excretions from any surface?

And also by the same logic, chemical reactions in general are impossible outside of life. E.g. a fire.

The word "enzyme" comes from the Greek words "en-" (in) and "zymē" (leaven), coined by German physiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1878 from the German word Enzym.

I think you are confusing testosterone and DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is a testosterone derivative and is not testosterone itself. Shampoos that contain anti-DHT chemicals like minoxidil can block DHT from attacking your hair follicles but don't eliminate it from the body.
