To ask…how long would a 250ml of shampoo last you?

Just that really. How long would it last you? Not your whole household, just you.
my mum gave me a fancy shampoo at Christmas and it’s still not empty (although I probably have 2/3 more washes out of it. I wash my hair on average twice a week. I think that’s very good longevity. How about you?

We recently went on holiday with a 100ml bottle and it just about lasted the week with 4 of us using it every day. So 16 washes. So in theory 250ml would last 40 washes, at twice per week that would be 20 weeks, or 4.5 months, about what you’re describing!

3 months maybe a bit longer I’ve long hair and only wash it once sometimes twice a week

I have no idea. I have teens and one bathroom, the idea of me being able to keep a fancy shampoo away from them is laughable. What's mine is theirs at the moment.

I wash about twice a week, too, but I have a lot of curly hair so use a fair amount each time. I think I’d have run out a bit before you.

I’ve never really paid attention but I’d say a good month or so, possibly more. Usually wash my hair every other day.

I have to wash my hair every day or I look greasy so it’d last me a couple of weeks probably. I don’t buy fancy brands as I can’t tell the difference.
