3 Ways to Get ALL Your Money’s Worth of Pantene

I have a lot of hair. It’s long and thick. But sometimes I feel like chopping it all off, since all that hair can be pretty high maintenance. So it’s pretty imperative to get my money’s worth from the tons of pricey shampoo and conditioner needed to bring out all its awesome splendor.

I’ve come up with every trick in the book to stretch out my shampoo and conditioners. For instance, when I reach what seems to be the last couple of squirts at the end of the bottle, I go to battle — and pridefully wind up getting at least two more rounds  of conditioner. I know it’s in there, just waiting and taunting me for my lack of ability to reach it.

I use Pantene and the caps are not easy to get off. But I know if I pull out the big guns, I can usually snap off the stubborn cap, allowing me to stick my finger in there and wipe out all the product collected at the top. One more shower’s worth of conditioner. Check!

The next time I wash my hair, I have to get really creative. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m not above sticking my hair right down into the bottle. You will be amazed at how much shampoo or conditioner you can grab that way!

Then, to get what’s left, I put just a little bit of water in the bottle, shake it up, and pour it over my hair. It will be a little watery, but it still does the job.

Mission accomplished. Gorgeous hair. No Waste. And I feel and look and feel like a million bucks.

Help me out. How do you get down to that last drop?

  1. You silly. Just add a little water and shake.

  2. PS. If it’s a tube, cut it in half in the middle, force all the stuff to the bottom and slide the pieces back together.
