In my defense, the bottle does say "Directions: Thoroughly massage Crude Oil into hair and scalp with fingertips. Leave on for 30-45 minutes, then rinse with Crude Oil Hair Rinse." Nothing about what fits in my hand. And they surely don't specify what size hands either.
I know you said I should only use what fits into the palm of my hand, but I didn't remember that when I was reading the directions on the bottle and desperately trying not to get oil all over the place.
I now know I did use too much, probably 1 1/2 tablespoons, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.....
