Natural homemade shampoo recipes

Have you ever read the back of your shampoo bottle? Some ingredients of commercial shampoos not only cause potential damage to your hair but can also enter the body and blood system through your scalp. The best way to have natural control over your hair care is by making your own shampoos (moreover, it is fun and cheap ). Experiment with different ingredients, create your own  recipes – and you will always have healthy and beautiful hair! Here are my favorite all-natural homemade shampoo recipes:

Egg shampoo recipe

• 1 egg
• 1 tsp – olive oil, wheat germ oil or almond oil
• 1 tsp – lemon juice
• 1 tbsp – castile soap
• 1/2 cup – water or herbal tea

Blend the ingredients together, wash your hair and rinse well.

Aromatherapy shampoo recipe

• 1 tbsp – castile soap
• 1/2 cup – water
• 5 drops – essential oil.  Choose essential oils according to your hair type:

Dry hair: sandalwood, ylang ylang, lavender essential oils
Normal hair: rosemary, rose, lavender, geranium essential oils
Oily hair: lemon, sage, lemon, tea tree, lavender, geranium essential oils
Dandruff and itchy scalp: rosemary, tea tree, lemon, chamomile, lavender essential oils

Blend the ingredients together, wash your hair and rinse well.

Herbal shampoo recipe

• 1/2 cup – castile soap
• 1 tsp – olive oil
• 1 tbsp – aloe vera juice
• 1/3 cup – herbal infusion

To make an herbal infusion, pour one cup boiling water over a handful of dried flowers (chamomile for blondes, rosemary for brunettes, hibiscus for redheads). Cover, cool and filter. Blend the ingredients, wash your hair and rinse well.

Honey shampoo for dry or damaged hair

• 2 cups liquid castile soap
• 1/2 half cup of honey
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vitamin E liquid.

Blend well. Wash massaging into the scalp.

For extra shine, add a dash of apple cider vinegar or a couple of drops of pure lemon oil to your final rinse.
