That size doesn't work for me either. I guess if you have thin hair that would work great. I have thick corase hiair. I wash it every other day. I have to shampoo it twice to clean it. But I use only a nickel size for the conditoner. Everyone has different hair types and you have to use what works for you.

You have to try and experiment with how much shampoo is good for you. I tried the dime size and it does not work for my hair. I have thick medium length hair and a dime does not wash all of it. I get from the roots to the end of it. If you do not use enough then your hair is not clean like you think it is. You don't have to go over board with the amount. Also how often do you wash your hair? I was told by an cosmetologist you should not wash your hair every day because it will strip your hair of the natural oils that you need to help your hair. She said every other day or two is good. She explained it more in detail but could not remember exactly what she said but this is the main of it.

I find if the shampoo or conditioner is in a small container everyone tends to use much less than if it is in a jumbo economy size. I save the smaller bottles and refill them from the large one I keep in the cupboard. It lasts much longer that way.

I have an old ice cream tub. I put a spot of shampoo in the bottom add some hot water and mix it together with my fingers it froths almost instantly. I then quickly turn it over and place it tightly on the top of my head. I then move the container around my hair over the sink and wait until it empties. My hair is lathered right away and needs much less rubbing. Try it I have done this for years!

I also buy my shampoo at estate sales. The person has passed and many times the shampoos and cleaning products are 25 to 50 cents!

I've been using this method for many years. I only have to buy maybe 2-3 bottles of shampoo a year this way and my hair is always squeaky clean! And it doesn't matter if you have very long hair either. Same method works!

(Archived Oct 08, 2009)Using Smaller Amounts
By Robin
Feedback:
There are homemade recipes for toothpaste, soap and (I am not so sure) shampoo is even good for the hair. Another thing the rinsing out ones mouth as many times a day as you can with just plain water. It has to get many of those food particles out off your teeth, plus help your breath. Several times in my life, I cured toothaches that way. They always seemed to happen on a weekend.
So if smaller amounts is better, mark me down. If you don't like to use smaller amounts, go generic or to your nearest Dollar store (01/25/2005)
