How Many Ounces of Shampoo Do You Use Per Wash?

[vtoodler]

Roughly how many ounces of shampoo do you use each time you wash your hair?

 

[Nix08]

Less than an ounce..I use a pointed applicator bottle and apply directly to my scalp.

 

[MsBoinglicious]

umm...I'on know. I just pump into my cupped hand until full.

 

[hair4romheaven]

less then an ounce. I use a few drops in an empty bottle and fill it with water.

 

[Angelinhell]

Not a lot, my shampoo is very concentrated, so it doesn't take much. Maybe a quarter size amount.

 

[JJamiah]

I would say about a little over an ounce, I get 12 washes out of a 16 oz container

 

[Evolving78]

less than an ounce. it takes months or a year to go though a bottle for me. i go through conditioner quicker.

I think it depends on the shampoo and concentration. I use about a dime-size (1-2 tsp) and this amount does a good job of washing my hair.

At the moment, in rotation, I'm using Bee-mine moisturizing shampoo and Camille Rose Naturals Clean Rinse.

 

[gennatay]

Maybe a dime to quarter size. I use CD Rosemary Mint shampoo. The 8oz bottle lasts a year for me.

 

[melissa-bee]

TOO much. I recently tried Giovanni's tea tree oil. I've used it twice and almost half has gone.
I'm going back to shampoo bars.

 

[itsallaboutattitude]

More than an ounce. I mud wash. Tried the applicator bottle thing. But I now just pour into my hand and apply.

 

[30something]

About an ounce of suave clarifying shampoo every 4-6 weeks or so. I find it hard not to go over board and to lazy to dilute something I hardly use.

 

[sckri23]

One palm full and I have small hands

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

.5 - 1 oz diluted in a 8oz color applicator bottle

 

[choctaw]

one-half ounce

 

[southerncitygirl]

1/8-1/4 an ounce of shampoo per wash

 

[kupenda]

Less than an ounce. I have a TWA and I use the same amount as I did when I was approaching APL. I mostly use shampoo for my scalp and let it sorta run down the rest of my hair.

 

[HighAspirations]

Too much.....I love suds!

 

[AlwaysNatural]

I mixed maybe a half and a quarter of two different shampoo's then fill up with water in a squirt bottle and then just keep adding water.

 

[leiah]

About a quarter size amount, a little more now that my hair is long.

But the shampoo i'm using now sucks. I wash twice with almost a palm full.

 

[lamaria211]

I get about 5-6 goof uses out of a 12oz bottle of Hair One

 

[winona]

.5 - 1 oz diluted in a 8oz color applicator bottle

 

[MsDes]

Probably a quarter sized amount. I am currently using Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo. It makes lot and lots of suds. I have a TWA btw.

 

[halee_J]

Hmm...I wash in 4 sections, using a quarter sized amount for each.
