    Way more than 6 months. Years in most cases! I rotate randomly through several shampoo's and more conditioners. I always dilute shampoo, usually until it is nearly like water and only use it on my scalp. Amazing how well it still works, even diluted that much. I've been mostly using 2 shampoos that I don't think are even made any more for the last year, trying to finish them off. I think that old purple Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo for dry hair is going to last forever. I am nearly out of the Graham Webb Ice Cap shampoo. Another few months and it will probably be gone.

    I put 4 to 5 months but it depends on the size and how much I might water it down.

    wow, I expected LHCers to take a while to use up shampoo, but I honestly didn't expect so many people to take more than six months to use up a bottle! I rotate through shampoos like other people here so it's difficult to estimate, but I've definitely been through about four or so bottles in my time at LHC (a little over a year) so two-three months I guess. I shampoo a lot more than many other people here though, 3-4 times a week (scalp only) usually

    I voted more than six months, but I usually have several different ones that I alternate between so each one probably lasts much longer than that. I only shampoo once or twice a week and I don't use very much each time.

    Sorry -- I voted before reading the specification about "standard-size". I use a sort of expensive shampoo (Joico), and my mum gives me a bulk-sized bottle most years for Christmas. It usually takes me 1.5 years to finish that bottle... not sure how it translates to standard-size... probably around 6 months. I just put it on my scalp, 1-2 times/wk. I go through a similarly-sized bottle of conditioner in about 9 months.

    I voted "four to five months" cause I don't use shampoo for every wash. I mostly make my own soapwort shampoo and moreover I like to switch products often.

    Man, I have been an everyday washer forever (trying to get on the every other day wagon soon) but it still takes me five or more months to go through a 12 .oz bottle. My hair is quite thin though, maybe thicker hair needs more?

    I think it takes me about 3-4 months, for a smaller bottle, but for a bigger one, probably over 6 months. I use very little shampoo.

    well, I'm not sure. My husband and I share shampoos, and there are 3 bottles and a shampoo bar in our shower right now. He's got super short thin on top hair so he doesn't use much. I CWC so I don't use much. All of the bottles have been open for at least 3 months and they are hardly gone. I'm guessing one bottle would last 4-5 months for both of us.
