No, just making sure that the hair is wet enough to distribute the smallest possible amount of soap. The trick is to figure out the minimum amount of soap you need to get all of your hair and scalp sudsy. I've used a shampoo-sized dose of Bronner's and had basically the same bad experience you described.

Oh okay, yeah I definitely didn't find the minimum. Maybe I'll give it a try another time-- the stuff is cheap and natural and whatnot.
