The Right Amount of Shampoo

Quick Tip

Do you give any thought to just how much shampoo you pour out of the bottle? Most people don't, but according to our resident stylist, Jamie says that it all depends on the length of your hair. In most cases, we use too much, he went on to say. For long hair, you should be using a little less than a tablespoon. If your hair is shorter, use even less.

Just in case you are wondering, using too much shampoo not only wastes money, it is harder to rinse out.
