There’s nothing better than to have exactly what you want in a beauty creation that doesn’t cost a fortune and works. Homemade shampoo is easy to make and can be adjusted according to your needs with the addition of the appropriate carrier and essential oils.

Instructions:
Mix ingredients together and pour into a bottle. This homemade shampoo isn’t as heavy as the store bought variety so keep that in mind when
you use it. However, it will lather nicely. Be sure and shake the bottle before using because you’re mixing oil and water without an emulsifier.
This homemade shampoo is so easy to make, you can almost create it on an as needed basis. You can also double the basic recipe of Castile liquid soap and distilled water and vary the recipe depending on the needs of other family members.
There you have it. I told you it was easy.
Now go have fun and relax.
What is a good hair brand for normal hair?
Hello there,
If I were buying a shampoo, I’d probably try Nature’s Gate Herbal daily cleansing shampoo, but I would use a good conditioner with it.
That said, why don’t you make your own? It’s really easy and better for your hair.
How long can this shampoo be saved before using? If I fill a large bottle to be used over a few weeks, let’s say, will a preservative be needed?
It should be fine. However, if you store it too long, it may discolor a bit.
We love you
thank you for all this good information on natural shampoo.
