shampoo & kids

My grandson used to use the shampoo for bubbles too so I got him the Avon bubble bath. I only buy them when they are on sale for a couple dollars. He loves them and has stopped using my shampoo for his various experiments in the bath tub! I make them a special treat for him so that he apperciates getting them, eg for birthday, good behavior reward (lots of those), christmas, good report, whatever works. So he doesnt waste them and is inclined to do something special to earn his bubble baths! Occasionally if he runs out he will ask if he can use the shampoo and depending on the type that I have I might allow him to use it, If its too expensive he gets dove or Palmolive dishwashing liquid. he much prefers his Avon bubbles though.

Too funny but not really. I remember my daughter use to grab all the lotions in site and splatter it everywhere. It drove me nuts. No matter where I hid it she would always find it and make a great deal of mess. As for organic versus regular. It is a matter of preference and I do not find that organic shampoo for my long mop of hair I have which is down my back down to my waist appreciates them at all. I tried them once and it made my head feel heavy as my hair felt crunchy and itching. I can appreciate people being concerned about toxins and chemical free products, but when it comes to my head and hair and organic shampoos they just do not get along. So my head and hair dictate in the respect.

Hey, it's your house, and your system works for you. Personally, I'd get the kids the cheap stuff, and hide mine and only bring it out when I use it, but if you're happy with the way you do things, keep on trucking!

Heh. I don't really understand how people who are all organic and crunchy can afford it. I typically don't even buy the salon formula shampoos or conditioners because of the cost, I try to find lower cost ones that have the same ingreds so I can get the same effect without paying $47 for a bottle of shampoo My daughter really isn't a shampoo dumper, but she does sometimes use too much. I keep all my shampoo, conditioners, body wash, and the like IN the shower. If I were worried about people spilling, dumping, or wasting it, I would put it in a locked cabinet in the bathroom lol. What type of shampoo did you love, btw? I like the bedhead stuff, but that's the stuff I don't buy right now.

Hey, I'm not the only person that isn't able to enjoy my favorite shampoo anymore on account of having children. I'm really glad to know that I'm not alone there. Well, my son especially is notorious for wasting shampoo, I would guess that he has wasted more almost full bottles of shampoo than we have actually been able to use since he was born. That said, I will typically buy the cheapest shampoos that I can buy because I really don't like to throw my money out the window.

for me it's Johnsons's no-tears shampoo.. but really it doesn't matter what brand of shampoo or whether it's cheap, as long as it doesn't give your kids rashes or anything. no need to go for the best kid's shampoo but most expensive.

Oh I hate to disapoint everyone but them shampoo days only come back for a short time. Then you will get invaded with the grandkids using your favorite shampoo for their bubble baths!

I was using organic shampoo for a long time and then they apparently make some changes or my hair changed, one or the other. I found my scalp itching and flaky and my hair didn't feel clean. Nothing I did made it better so I went back to using Pantene and my hair and scalp felt great. Doesn't your friend have children? I remember using Breck shampoo in my bath as a kid, it smelled so good and I loved the elegant glass bottle--we didn't have many plastics back then! It's a wonder I never dropped it, in fact I don't remember anyone ever dropping too many of all those glass bottles that contained out drinks, personal hygiene items and other things! Anyway, kids will be kids--get your shampoo at the dollar store!

hi 3SnuggleBunnies I have used Herbal essence shampoo and conditioner for years but then I do not have any small kids. Yes there you have to go with the cheaper brands for the kids.I tried an organic brand once and my scalp and even my face broke out in hives so natural is not always better. I took the bottle back to Whole foods and got my money back. I went back to Herbal essences again and had no problems with scalp; or face either one.

Hi, 3SnuggleBunnies. I hope that you will get your favorite shampoo back again. I have to use only one type of shampoo on my hair too. I can't switch back and forth using different kinds of shampoo. Your friend has to understand that using a shampoo that has toxins in it can be bad for ones health, scalp and hair.

Beat your kids to the bath water and put a couple of caps full of dish washing soap, save the shampoo.

Thats too funny I thought I was the only one that had that problem. I will buy a bottle of shampoo use it once go to work and when I come back home 8 hours later the whole bottle of shampoo is gone. When I ask about it I am informed that my daughter took a bath. LOL. I then ask what kind of bath did she take and why would she wash her hair a million times. That's when Daddy informs me that she wanted a bubble bath and that the bubbles did not last long enough to make her happy so they had to add more to make more bubbles. So like you I buy what ever is the cheapest and hope for the day that I will once again get to use the good shampoo. I have tried to buy my self a bottle that is just for me but then I get told that mine works better lol. Its a no win in my house. So if you cant beat them join them is what I always say. I think I am gonna take a bubble bath.
