I usually have to do the top again. But it is a simply style. Shampoo I get the family size and use the pump. That helps control the amount used. I use to cut the boys hair until they learned about girls. At lest one of them. They don't like long hair that goodness. Dd donated her hair once. She felt so proud.

Since it's so short and simple I need very little shampoo and I very rarely need to use any styling product at all. I find the biggest money waster is using too much product. People want to use a whole palm full of shampoo and conditioner when all you need is about a quarter sized dollop for all but the longest and driest of hair. The bottles all the hair care stuff comes in is made to dump a ton of product at one time, so I grabbed some pump bottles from the dollar store and pour my shampoo in them instead.

Steph- Great point about washing twice but only washing a few times a week, that would definitely save me time in the morning. Thanks for sharing ladies! Toni Lawanda-

I switched to Suave (about $1.50) and guess what? No difference!! I actually do wash my hair twice in one shower, but I only wash my hair once or twice a week so I need to. Thanks for the tips!

BTDT, never again ;) haha Oh and forget natural. Too much grey. I am only 34 for goodness sake ;) LOL I actually go to the local Beauty College to get mine colored. Which might be a good tip for others. If you have a beauty school in your area, they don't charge much, and they rarely mess up since they are getting graded! :) And if they do feel ill at ease, they call their instructor over to do it for them, anyway :) I use Suave shampoo on my kids. We haven't used baby shampoo in forever. The only one I do not do is color my own hair. BTDT, never again ;) haha Oh and forget natural. Too much grey. I am only 34 for goodness sake ;) LOL
