Homemade Shampoo from Natural Ingredients

Does anyone have a recipe for a hair shampoo from natural ingredients. I've heard a raw egg will do wonders but this is something that gets too expensive to use on a daily basis.

The reason you use shampoo is to cleanse the scalp. The only thing that needs conditioning is your ends. For those who describe their hair as horrible and frizzy, get a good trim. So as long as you are cleansing the scalp I guess there are other things than store/salon shampoo.

Aloe Vera Citrus face wash is much better than soap because soap is too drying to the skin. Aloe Vera simply is a great hair wash and juice for nourishing the skin. This site is great. Katy

I have fine hair & up until recently, with adrenal fatigue & menopause, it was silky with light waves & body. Then my health problems with candida. Candida changed my hair; the texture & feel. So now I use a 10% mixture of vinegar & water, our over hair after washing & then towel dry. I don't need a conditioner or anything. It takes out tangles, takes care of the candida & stops itching really well. It makes my hair feel really nice, and it's really cheap.

Just take white vinegar, use 9 parts water & 1 part vinegar. I put it in a squeeze bottle & keep it in the shower, after I wash it, I just squeeze some all over my scalp & squeeze the excess liquid out & towel dry as usual. It is a really great way to help multiple problems.

RE: softens your hair

What is softener? Just conditioner?
And if you use eggs, how do you use them?

The top half of my hair is normal, but the underneath is sooo dry, really frizzy, I've tried so many deep conditioning treatments, but I don't know what else to do, it just doesn't hang like normal hair, it's all big and rough :/
help?

This may sound wild, but you really don't need shampoo. My husband found some news articles online that described quitting shampoo use so he buzzed his hair, and began rinsing his hair with water every day. Over the next weeks his hair became greasy, then the oiliness disappeared. It's now soft and fluffy and not the least bit unpleasant. I haven't tried it yet. but I would love to get to the never-need-shampoo again stage.

Take an avocado pear, and some baking soda. Mash them together with a little bit of water to make a paste. Rinse your hair with warm water first, then apply the paste and rinse it out with cold water. Unbelievable soft hair!

I make a paste with baking soda and water, massage this into my scalp and rinse well. next I spray a solution of one part cider vinegar to four parts water on to the ends of my hair and again rinse well. cleans and detangles. makes my hair feel very soft.

Hibiscus Shampoo
Take a bunch or hibiscus leaves and crush with a little water..keep crushing and you'll soon notice the shuddiness. Apply the mixture to hair directly or strain through a strainer to get the bits and peices of leaves out. Add a few drops of your favorite food grade essential oil, I love peppermint! Tip: Make when your about to wash your hair because it doesn't keep well.

Enjoy!

RE: Homemade Shampoo from Natural Ingredients

get one coco ripe coco pod.
its tastes delicious so you may suck on the seeds and then throw them away.
then you grate the pod with a fine grater. then add a little water and use ur hands to squish the result of the grater with the water until you end up with a thick slime. and voila you have natural shampoo, be careful, rinse out hear properly after use cuz this shampoo was designed to create dread locks if left in hair

Homemade lip Balm

If you mix olive oil, honey, pinapple juice (for flavour), lemon juice and orange juice in a small bottle, it will be liquidy. You can pour a tiny amount onto your finger and apply it to your lips. Works great. Make sure that you shake it before you use it.
Store in the fridge when not in use.

RE: Homemade Shampoo from Natural Ingredients

Hey, I just found a good recipe,
* 2 cups distilled water
* 1 1/2 tablespoons dried soapwart root (chopped) (most health food stores would carry this)
* 2 teaspoons Lemon Verbena or 2 teaspoons Catnip

The Instructions

Bring water to a boil add soapwart and simmer, cover for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, add herb then allow mixture to cool. Strain the mixture keeping the liquid. Pour into a bottle. Makes enough for 6-7 shampoos. Must be used within 8-10 days. Store in a cool dark place.
Enjoy

I use a juicer and juice 2 oranges. I put raw coconut oil, olive oil, couple tablespoons of aloe vera straight from the aloe leaf and the orange juice and put it into a blender with an avacodo, and blend and there you go..works great.

I heard that sprinkling cornstarch in your hair softens it as well as it removes the oil. Just leave it in for a few minutes then brush it out.
Any more suggestions, write back at jc_pilot91@hotmail.com
