Dime sized shampoo works great for me, even when my hair is long, and it saves money too.
Just put a dime sized plop of shampoo in your hand, rub it, and spread it over your damp hair, and nope, it does not usually lather in your hair. Rinse it off, and, I don't need much water to rinse it either, however, when I use another dime size plop of shampoo on my hand, and rub in my hands and then hair, I get plenty of lather then, and I also found that using less shampoo like that, my hair looked great, I didn't need to use a lot of water to get rid of the shampoo out, and my shampoo bottle lasts for a very long time.
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!

Tip: Using Smaller Amounts
Archived on 10/08/2009
We have tried to teach our children that you don't have to use a large amount of soap or shampoo or toothpaste, etc. each day. Just a small dime to quarter size dollop of shampoo or conditioner will thoroughly wash and condition your hair. And remember, the more you put in, the more you have to rinse out! Also, we use more toothpaste than we need to. A dollop the size of a pea in the middle of the toothbrush is sufficient.

RE: Using Smaller Amounts
You can save money by using generic toothpastes and soaps and the kids could use as much. Also by adding a little water into those empty soap and shampoo bottles you may get a couple more cleansings.
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)
