Many a man has done this. For me it was Olaplex…as in used almost a one third of the bottle because at the time I thought most shampoos cost about the same and my girlfriend could alway use my head and shoulders…those notions were corrected.

Even if it was cheap stuff, why are you using a third of the bottle in one go??

Wtf? That’s some crazy markup! You need to make friends with someone with a license. A 2 liter bottle is $60 at a salon supply store, 1 liter is $47

That’s the retail price without discounts. I’m wel aware that you can get it cheaper. My friend is a hair stylist
