Mixing Shampoos

drizzellla — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 13:07:05 GMT

Way back in the old days, when I used to be able to get a haircut, I would often buy various different shampoos from the salon. I now have at least 6 partially used shampoo bottles sitting in the shower.

Do you think I could just combine the shampoos into one bottle? Would it really matter if I combined them?

I am another who has numerous (expensive) shampoos. I would not mix them. Some I need only a dime size of product to get a lot of suds, while others I need quite a bit more. Also, there is a huge difference in scents. Mixed together it could be a huge PU.

Thank you - I did not think about the scents. I am so glad you mentioned that.

It seems that I just reach for the shampoo bottle with the pump because it is fast and easy. The bottles from the hair salon, I have to flip the top, wait for the shampoo to slowly reach the top and squeeze out the shampoo. I waste a whole 5 seconds.

@drizzellla - I wouldn't mix them either. When you're at the end of the bottle, add a little water to get it all out.

@drizzellla I'd test drive them by pouring some of one and some of one other in a small paper cup before mixing entire bottles together. Sometimes they sit on top of eachother just because of the ingredients. I also wouldn't mix a hydrating shampoo w/ a volumizing one. Try to keep types/functions together.

I mix lots of things to save space, so I would say go ahead and mix them, it is just shampoo, it isnt hair color, but that is just my personal opinion.

I mix some Clairol Shimmer Lights (purple shampoo) into my volume shampoos. Previously - I would mix my Sheer Blonde shampoo into my volume shampoo.

I've mixed shampoos since forever .. never even thought about it.

I mix things all the time to use them up. I see no problem with it at all. Mix away!

The scents always seem to dissapate rapidly as soon as hair dries.

I've mixed shampoos, body washes, and liquid hand soaps without problems.

It's all detergent.

It is perfectly safe to combine all shampoos in to one bottle.

Your hair won't fall out.

I have refilled some of my empty hand-soap bottles with some of my Philosophy shower gels and have them by the sink. You don’t have to use much to wash your hands...I love the bubbles😎.

@drizzellla I would not combine the shampoos. Rather alternate between 3 of the shampoos and put the others up until you use up. I always alternate shampoos because they each give a different shampoo and your hair responds better.

It's fine to mix shampoos and conditioners. I frequetly use two different shamppos and conditioners on my hair. Over the years I've even had professional hairdressers use different formulas on my hair for optimal results.
