I found some great recipes this week! I cannot wait to try this first one but I don't quite have all the ingredients. It's a homemade shampoo recipe and the blogger seems to have hair like I do so I hope it works well for me too! I also did the no poo thing for a while but it made my hair very dry.
Here are her ingredients and directions and below is the link her her website:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup liquid castile soap
- 1/4 cup canned coconut milk (tip: freeze the rest of the contents of the can in cubes using an ice cube tray so you can use it for future recipes.)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp fractionated coconut oil ( I get mine from Simply Aroma)
- 1 tbsp Vitamin E oil
- 40 – 50 drops essential oils (see below)
Directions
Mix all of the ingredients in a container with a lid (like this squeeze bottle). Put on the lid and shake to combine. Shake before using and use as you would any commercial shampoo.Essential Oil Combination
Now, to figure out which essential oils to use. You can use just one if you’d like, but I typically make a combination for specific properties (and delicious smells).
For yummy smell:- 20 drops lavender essential oil & 30 drops wild orange essential oil
- 20 drops peppermint essential oil & 30 drops lavender essential oil (or wild orange if you don’t want to use lavender)
- 15 drops lavender essential oil, 25 drops lemongrass essential oil & 10 drops lemon essential oil
For fragile hair: 20 drops clary sage, 15 drops lavender & 15 drops wild orange essential oils
For hair loss: 10 drops each rosemary, peppermint, cedarwood and lavender essential oils
