HOMEMADE NATURAL SHAMPOO
Ingredients:
1/4 C. Distilled Water
1/4 C. Liquid Castile Soap
1/4 C. Coconut Milk
(use canned/shelf stable milk, not the refrigerated type which often has sugar, etc.)
1/2 T. Avocado/Olive Oil (optional)
(add if you have dry hair)
15-20 Drops Essential Oil
(lavender and peppermint are a favorite)
Directions:
1. Add all ingredients to a pump bottle, swirling to combine.
2. Using a bottle with a foaming pump is preferred, as this natural shampoo is of thinner consistency.
3. If using a bottle that has a regular pump, omit the distilled water.
4. Use within a month.
Coconut milk contains essential nutrients which aid in strengthening the hair while also promoting hair growth. Coconut milk is rich in vitamins B, C, & E. Adding coconut milk to your homemade natural shampoo ensures your hair is moisturized and strong. When pure castile soap and coconut milk are mixed together, it creates a nice lathering effect.
Safe for all hair types. Unsure of the effect on color treated hair.
This natural foaming shampoo also makes a great shaving foam.
