You have hard water. Other symptoms include a metallic or "rusty" smell to your water. Shop for a water softening system.

Since my hair is so short, I only use a few pennies worth of shampoo each time and get plenty of suds. Why waste shampoo? That just requires too much water to rinse. Short hair is great.

The oils and dirt in your hair counteract the 'sudsing' action of your shampoo. If you use a very small amount (say the size of a dime or nickel) wash up, rinse and repeat, the second time through you should have much nicer suds.

Also try "rinse and repeat". I find the first wash typically only serves to break up the oils in my hair, which then rinse out. The second wash produces more suds since less shampoo is used to combat against oil.

You could have whats called, hard water. A water softening system installed in your home will make your soaps and shampoos much more sudsy.

I think it's because of hard water (lots of minerals). Try a water softener, but be careful. Seems you can never rinse soap off your hands when the water's too soft.

Try using warmer water. I find that the warmer the water is, the more sudsy my soap is
