Hi ^^
Every time I use shampoo, I`m sure I haven`t rinsed all of it out...it usually starts to foam up again when I use conditioner. I have long hair (hip length) and I do spend at least 15-20 min rinsing out the shampoo but it never completely goes away. I`ve tried clean rinse shampoos like Neutrogena and they do the same thing, perhaps even worse. Another factor: we have hard water in this region but there`s water conditioner in our basement. Anyone else have this shampoo problem, and does anyone know how I could fix this (good mild shampoo, etc?) thanks

Hi Dahlia -
Have you tried diluting your shampoo?
Use less, and add lots more water to the sudsing process.
Do you put shampoo on the length? or just squeeze lather from up top through?
Last suggestion - a tiny bit of apple cider vinegar in a gallon of water as a final rinse - cuts suds and leaves a nice shine.
hope this helps.

Hi Dahlia,
It doesn`t matter what the natural state of the water is in your area, because if you have a water softener, your water is soft. Judging by your descriptions of the results, I am convinced that your water is indeed soft.
I agree with Gren. You`ll want to dilute your shampoo. Use an empty bottle, squirt a *small* amount of shampoo into it, then add water (approximate 10-1 ratio of water-shampoo, or maybe even more water). Experiment to find the right ratio for your hair`s needs. Apply to the scalp, suds the scalp, and let the suds rinse through the length of your hair -- there`s probably no need to apply any to the middle or especially the ends of your hair.
Let us know how this works for you.
