Dime-Quarter-Dollop-Hand Full

[tailormade84]

for conditioner: 2 handfuls
for shampoo or leave in conditioner: a dollop (about 1 ounce)
for oils: quarter-size

i am learning to be "modest" with my portions, but with conditioner, if i dont saturate my hair, its like i didnt add anything at all. with my hair, its all or nothing :s

for conditioners, i use handfuls, for leave-ins about a dime to a quarter size. i don't understand using minute amounts of conditioner, i can't do it. i do think i'm gettig better though

looks like everyone is heavy on their conditioner. does it matter how expensive the conditioner is? would you be equally free with the more expensive conditioners? for me it doesn't matter. I use what my hair likes.

[ANUBIS]

I use half cups and cups with conditioner.

A dollop with shampoo.

Maybe about a quarter sized amount of serum and oil for 1/4th of my head.

Maybe about a palm full of creamy leave-in for my whole head if I just washed, and less if I am just styling my hair.

If it isn't a handful then it ain't enough for me. That's why I had to buy the gallon size of my Giovanni Direct. Those little bottles weren't cutting it at $7.99 a pop I'd only get two co-washes out of them.

SATURATION is key or the BEAST wins. So whatever that feels like that is what I use. Normally that is palm to handful and sometimes multiples of those!

Everyone knows that the people on LHCF have a problem with buyin too many conditioners lol. using handfuls is the only way I can get rid of some of it lol. I use globs or conditioner. I don't even have thick hair!

Umm.....there are people who have more than 1/2 inch of hair who used dime & quarter sized amounts of something? I didn't know such people existed . As for myself, I'm going to go with BostonMaria and say half the bottle. I mix my cheapies like VO5 with the more expensive brands like Joico to help them stretch
