    You can actually use your conditioner as shampoo for a quick fix! it won't completely clean your hair the way that shampoo does but conditioner has a cleaning agent in it! So just use your conditioner as if it was shampoo , rinse and then use your conditioner again as usual! Hope that helps :-)

    Out Of Shampoo

  • 9 years ago

    It's been over a decade since I ran out but regular bar bath soap will work just as well along with conditioner. Dish soap and body wash are both very hard on your hair. Hope this helps. Ivory, Dial, Dove or Safeguard work best. My mother grew up during the great depression and she used these as shampoo on our hair when my brother and I were kids. Boy was that a long time ago.

    Source(s): I'll give bar soap this, we never had split ends until we grew older and insisted on shampoo instead of soap.

    Dont use dish soap...heck NO! Use ordinary bath soap then condition it. It will dry your hair out a bit more than shampoo but not as badly as dish soap would...

    Hmm, don't you have someone else in the house who uses shampoo? :D

    Things i do are.... using brother's shampoo...or if i cant squeeze any more shampoo from the bottle i open it, pour a bit of water in it and shake it xD and then use "watery shampoo" :D

    I have a feeling soap would damage hair xD
