I think I'll give it a try. I buy the shampoo that I like but try to get it on sale or with a coupon. It's called Pantene. I'm sure everyone knows that brand. I also use the same brand conditioner. It's so true that shampoos have lots of chemicals in them and I guess we all should be aware of that. I tried the sulfate free shampoos and they were fine but more expensive. Since they don't use as many chemicals in the them, they should be cheaper, right? Not so. I buy a large container (at the warehouse store) of washing up liquid and keep a small squirt bottle and keep filling it up. It's much cheaper to buy it like that and this particular brand is not bad for the environment so I'm happy with it. It seems to last a long time.

I always buy shampoo when it's on sale (rarely pay over $2.50/$3.00) and a 355ml bottle lasts me about 2.5 months.<br />What I am doing at the moment is using up all my travel size shampoos. I've accumulated quite a collection over the past couple of years so I've decided that it's time to actually use them! I'll stock up again on regular size bottles when the next great sale comes around - will probably buy 4 bottles and should last me for a year.<br />Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-81928610601048990472016-07-28T22:00:55.430+01:002016-07-28T22:00:55.430+01:00I wash my hair from 1 to 2x per week.

These days I an just put my hair up in a bun or ponytail if I'm behind schedule in washing. I don't use much shampoo and I venture to guess that largish container you bought is going to last much longer than 4 months.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-33419012742742176662016-07-28T21:42:23.397+01:002016-07-28T21:42:23.397+01:00I dilute my shampoo.

I shower each day, and I don't stand in the shower for long, Ilona, but I always wash my hair. After all, we have skin on our scalp, just like anywhere else, and we'd not think of not washing other parts that have hair (I leave that to your imagination, tee-hee) for a week, would we? I use Aussie shampoo (and Aussie conditioner) and as it's quite expensive I use it sparingly. Husband uses it, too. But a bottle will last a good long time, even used every day, if we only use a tiny squirt and if you wash your hair every day, we I do, a tiny squirt is all that is required. <br />We also use good quality soap (Roger & Gallet); it's hard so if put in a draining dish, it lasts for a very long time and doesn't go squishy and nasty. Some cheap things are false economy, and cheap soap is one of them, I think. I will scrimp on lavatory cleaner, floor cleaner, anything that we don't use about our person, but for ourselves, to use on our bodies (and this goes for toothpaste, too) I believe in buying the very best we can afford (and also without parabens if at all possible.)<br />Margaret Pgalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-29628768662639773912016-07-28T19:44:48.860+01:002016-07-28T19:44:48.860+01:00Years and years back, when I was very short of fun...Years and years back, when I was very short of funds, I started using Sunlight liquid dishsoap (handwash stuff), for dishes and everything else. <br />-Hair wash<br />-Body wash<br />-clothes wash<br />-and of course, dishes.<br /><br />I found that very little was quite effective. So effective in fact, that to this day, forty yrs later, I still regularly use it for hair wash.

Conditioner was a middle finger length, worked through and then combed through with a wide tooth comb and left for 3 minutes. <br />Still use these measurements to this day 😀Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536373137142664203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-82796236890650314962016-07-28T18:07:21.043+01:002016-07-28T18:07:21.043+01:00I get a rash from SLS (sodium laureate sulfate) so...I get a rash from SLS (sodium laureate sulfate) so the shampoo, I buy is more expensive.
