Serving size: A walnut

Your hair is healthiest at the roots (where new hair growth is) so you only need enough conditioner for your ends -- usually the driest parts of your hair. If your hair is longer than a few inches past your shoulders, you may need a little more product.

Serving size: A pea

Like pomade, too much will put you into grunge territory, and not in the good way. Stick to a tiny pea amount and massage it into your hands first. Then apply it starting mid-shaft and working your way down towards the ends. You can always add more if your hair is longer.

Serving size: A large green grape

Treat volumizers like gel -- too much and your hair gets crunchy. Apply the product to the roots and drag through to the ends. Comb through for even distribution.

Serving size: A cherry tomato

To avoid crunchy curls, work a small amount into damp hair, concentrating on areas where you have the least amount of curl. Then, comb through for even distribution.

Serving size: An almond for face and neck, a blueberry for just the face

Too much face cream will leave your skin greasy and oily, rather than quenched. No need to rub between your palms before applying. Simply rub it into your skin until absorbed.
