Money Saving Tip #82: Use Less Shampoo and Conditioner

When it comes to shampoo and conditioner, most of us use far too much. We like the idea of making for absolute sure that our hair is clean and softened. In truth, we only need to use about a quarter size amount of both shampoo and conditioner for average length hair. My hair falls about 3 inches below my shoulders, and ths amount is perfect.

Another tip for using shampoo and conditioner is knowing where to apply it. Shampoo should be applied around the scalp, but not the length because it can dry out your hair. Conditioner, on the contrary, should be applied to the length, not around the scalp. I apply conditioner below my ears and down.
