Am I the only person who uses more than a dime size amount of product?

[spacetygrss]

I use or dime or nickel-sized amount of shampoo. Conditioner gets a handful or two.....and my hair drinks that right up!

 

[mscocoface]

I have never used a dime size or quarter size of anything in my head. Wait let me think. That Sabino Moisture Block I think I use a 50 cent piece size when I would do sections of my hair...naw no dimes, nickels, pennies or quarters here.

 

[C@ssandr@]

I use however much my hair needs. I just realized i wasn't using enough leave in lately anyway...

 

[Menina Preta]

I use about a quarter size for leave-in conditioner when I wear my hair straightened. I also apply oil sparingly. Other than that, I use wayyy more than a dime sized amount.

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

IMO, the only time a dime sized amount of product is needed is when i'm gonna flatiron. other than that, i use whatever amount of product it takes for me to feel like every strand is covered.​

 

[beans4reezy]

I use a fistfull of conditoner and half a fist as a leave in

 

[Geminigirl]

I def use a handful of condish on my hair and any producsts. My hair sucks things up so I need some to be left on there to moisturize...i guess.

 

[MsEllie]

Nah, I'm really heavy handed and my hair is thin but it craves moisture - I don't use a dime size of anything...

Heavy Hands Unite!!!!!

 

[BARCA]

I only go with "dime sized" when I use shampoo. Otherwise I use golf ball sized amounts... or really just however much I need.

 

[HarlemHottie]

Honey, I don't know the meaning of "dime-sized." I also get confused when I hear nickels, quarters, half dollars, or silver dollars. I tend to work better with at least some golf or tennis balls. My hair would cuss me out if I tried something less than that. I wouldn't even worry about it. Now, off to watch your video.

She took the words right outta my mouth... I have never been able to grasp this less is more method, I just go off if it feels like enough then it is... lol

 

[HarlemHottie]

I use about 2 big dollops for my hair, especially with conditioner, and I don't feel like I'm wasting product.

@ "dollops"....

 

[BostonMaria]

OP, First of all LMFAO @ your siggie!

I have lots of hair. If I used a quarter sized amount of conditioner I'd be bald LOL Unless the conditioner has super slip it ain't gonna happen. Plus my hair is very dry so I need all the conditioner I can get.

I see those directions as a suggestion. Just like I see stop signs as a suggestion LOL

 

[2Cute!]

It depends on what I am using/doing...

If I am conditioning, I use more than a quarter size, as that small amount doesn't really do much for my hair. If I am using a moisturizer, then I use about a quarter size because I like my hair light and bouncy.

The way I see it is, even if I apply too much product (which I doubt because I don't consider myself heavy handed) at least my hair is getting what it needs.

 

[MummysGirl]

I selected the 3rd option...

I use very small amounts of my leave in, Giovanni Direct, because a little goes a long way. I also use tiny amounts of my shea mix as a sealant because too much of it is not good for my hair.

But for cowashing, I make sure my hair is SATURATED with product, same thing as when I a DC.

From what I remember, a dime is a tiny coin so I am 100% sure I use more than a dime size of product all the time.

 

[Neith]

I use a generous amount of everything.

I used to skimp on oiling my hair... but my natural hair is not having it. It sucks up product - even oils! - like a sponge.

I go through about 24 oz of DC per month. - I really get my hair covered completely.

A bottle of shampoo would last me more than a year. - I use about 3 quarter sized amounts per wash.

15 oz of coconut oil should last me about 8 months. - On wash day I probably use a palm full. If I'm twisting my damp hair I use half of that. If I'm just oiling my hair without wetting it at all, then I use just a quarter size.

My hair is only 4 inches

It's going to cost an arm and a leg to take care of as it gets longer.

 

[DaPPeR]

I use a lot of product...especially conditioners. That's why I only use cheapies for cowashes.

I remember when there were only ORS Paks instead of the bottle.I would use 4 packs per deep condition. Now I buy the bottle.

 

[Aggie]

I use a lotttta conditioner especially now that I am over 6 months post my last relaxer. It's so bad right now. I don't use much shampoo however.

 

[Caramel Jewel]

I use more than a dime size for conditioners ... I stop when my hair feels saturated, which could be more or less than a quater cup...for shampoos I use less -my shampoos outlast my cons...all the time....always has.... even before i began cowashing...

 

[UGQueen]

Jennifer Hudson is that you?????
no but seriously u look like her!

anyways back OT. i use ALOT as well, i mean i have to. my hair needs it i could neve manage with a dime size amount of anything.. haha i would have no hair

 

[scorpian]

The dime sized rule does apply to me for cream based leave ins...I don't need to use any more than that

 

[Priss Pot]

A "dime size" doesn't get my hair anywhere, unless it's with shampoo.

 

[Brownie518]

After trial and error, I have learned to use small amounts of certain products (Hydratherma Growth Lotion, CHI Silk Infusion). But for conditioners, I kill it!!! The more, the better, it seems. My hair loves it.

 

[MoniintheMiddle]

I was just thinking about this as I washed my hair on Friday. A "dime" size usually does nothing for me!

 

[GodsGrace]

I've never used a dime sized amount of anything on my hair. It'll never be clean or conditioned.

 

[NaturallyBlonde]

I use a handful and I don't even have much hair Dime sized, whats that?

 

[ToyToy]

Don't know what "dime-sized" means. My hair drinks up everything. Especially when it comes to conditioner!

 

[Nyssa28]

I use lots and lots of product to make sure most, if not all strands are coated.

 

[nysister]

I think a using a dime size of anything is rather amusing. Unless I'm using a dime.

 

[chebaby]

when i was relaxed i used a pea sized of moisturizer 2x a day. that was all i needed and my hair stayed moisturized. now that im natual and i wash and go everyday i use about a quater of leave in and a dime of sealant lol. im not havy handed with conditioner either, i dont think, because its not that serious. i just put enough on to work into my hair and then rinse out.
