The general rule for anything is that you only use as much as is needed. When shampooing, you are only going to apply and shampoo the scalp and first few inches. You do not apply throughout the entire length of your hair. You do not need lots and lots of lather. Lather only indicates that you are using too much. There will be only a small amount of lather, indicating you have just enough, and a tiny bit more.





When you are rinsing, the shampoo running through will clean the ends. They are usually not covered with a lot of oil and debris, if you brushed your hair well before shampooing.





Again, with conditioner, you use only as much as necessary. If you are applying an oil or wax (most common ingredient in all conditioners on the shelf), you only want the very smallest amount, if any at all. You want to apply a good protein rebuilder and a moisturizer, as required. Look for Redken, Nexxus or Focus21 products for good products. if your hair absorbs it all, then you know you may need a little bit more. Using more does not mean that your hair is absorbing any of it. It may be better to use smaller amounts more often than one large gob once!





There is no reason for having really dry and brittle hair after shampooing. Not if you are using correct products properly.How much shampoo and conditioner should i apply on my hair?
Your problem may not be the amount of shampoo/conditioner you use, it could be a number of things. If it is the amount, you should use a quarter sized amount of both. It may be that when you rinse, you don't get either the shampoo or the conditioner completely out, this could cause problems too. It may be that you have naturally dry hair and in that case you should look for a shampoo specially formulated for your hair.





Just a tip, if you want soft shiny hair, try rinsing with cold water and blow-drying your hair on a cool setting. This locks in conditioner to your hair follicle and then seals the cuticle so that the moisture stays in and doesn't dry out your hair shaft.

The main thing is that you should always apply oil before you shampoo your hair for minimum 1 hour. The amount of shampoo depends on the volume of hair.


However your hair are, keep one thing in mind and that is that you don't have to apply a lot of conditioner on your hair. Apply the conditioner only on the surface of the hair and not on the roots. Wash your hair well after using the conditioner. Don't use a lot of shampoo too. Use a mild shampoo and an appropriate quantity of it. When you feel clean on your scalp, you come to know that your hair have been washed and that you don't need more shampoo.
To thoroughly clean your hair, shampoo twice. The first shampoo will remove the dirt, styling aids, oil, etc. Pour shampoo into your palm, about the size of a silver dollar, given your length. The next shampoo, will clean it, so use a little less because the first shampoo will remove much of the junk %26amp; clean a little as well. As for conditioner, do not overdo it. Use a quarter size amount %26amp; comb it through to your ends, twice, with a wide tooth comb, then rinse well.
I have pretty much the same hair as you. Here's a trick. Only shampoo the top of your head. You don't need to put the shampoo all the way to the end it will dry them out. I use about a quarter size and just wash the top. The shampoo running down your hair will clean the rest of it. Now with conditioner your suppose to use a lot more on your ends b/c they are the driest. I tend to use alot of conditioner on my ends, I don't think it matters how much but you don't need a lot on the top b/c that's where the oils come from and it will get greasy quicker.
I had the same problem and decided I wasn't going to put up with dry hair. First I only was my hair 2-3 times per week. Every couple of weeks I use a deep conditioner. When I wash, I always use an after shampoo conditioner (I use Nexxus Therappe). Then-- most important-- after I get out of the shower I spray/finger in some Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner.





It took a few months, but this ended the dry hair thing for me.
