...almost always make the conditioner bottle SMALLER than the shampoo?!?!? The obvious answer is so manufacturers can disguise the much higher markup on conditioner. But does anyone use more shampoo than conditioner? What an annoyance!

I'll second that!!! That's why I snatched up the liters I found of All Soft...both shamp & cond. But they had no pumps to go with them...(sorry we're out) grrrrrrrrrrrr...so now have to tend to the task of filling the smaller, easier to handle bottles from the large ones (and I'm such a klutz)

I have the big honking liters of All Soft too and I do the same thing: squeeze globs into the regular size and usually end up getting it all over the bathroom counter...but hey, for a good deal it's worth it!

I recently bought the All Soft shampoo and conditioner in the liter sizes - they were a better deal as a package (2 for $24). Anyway, I thought I would pour the shampoo from the liter bottle of All Soft into the smaller All Soft bottle that I saved after I used up the shampoo. Anyway, I can't get the darn lid off the smaller bottle. It won't twist off. I guess I could try pliers.

I know that some people say to only use conditioner on the ends of your hair (which could work easier for longer haired people, short hair could be somewhat difficult ), so maybe they were balancing out the proportions of how much shampoo/conditioner you should be using....??
Just a vague guess!

Yes Why is that? In My house there are 3 that have LONG hair. My Mom has hair all the way past her bottom, I have hair to the end of my back and my sister has hair that is past her sholders by about 3f inches. We always run out of conditioner before the shampoo is halfway gone. I HATE it. By the way I put conditioner on all of my hair. If I didn't then I would never be able to comb it. Let alone fix it.



I am looking for Hair styles for any kind of Hair that are stylish, beautiful and would be nice to wear to a wedding or Prom. (They are the best hairstyles)
I Love trying new hair styles that maybe Harder to do.

That’s so annoying! It’s another part of the conspiracy to make the long haired people go short to squeeze even more money out of us
Grrrr!

It's amazing to me too. I ALWAYS run out of conditioner way before shampoo, so I end up buying 2 conditioners to 1 shampoo, or more sometimes.

I tend to go for "3 for 2" offers when they're on my faveourite shampoo and conditioner. I get two conditioners and 1 shampoo. Then again, I'm not saving me any money. I do the CWC thing, using a cheap conditioner for the first C and a much more expensive one for the second C. I don't get the chance to buy pricey ones because I can't afford them. But, Trevor Sorbie has a wonderful new conditioner for long straight hair, which I love. However it's about £7, which to me is a lot of money. I can't wait until I leave full-time education and can start work. Only SEVEN years to go. Aww.
