Homemade shampoo recipe!

Good morning world!  First let me say that Day 3 of homemade shampoo use was great washing and combing out was wonderful too.  I have long hair and usually takes me some time to comb it out.  I was really excited at that time.  It did not appear I was having much more in the transition stage.  After it dried, however, I was wrong.  Funny thing though, it looks ok, but felt like I needed to wash it again. 

Day 4 today.  I got up and it did not look greasy, just mussed morning hair. But when I combed it out and it felt like I had too much product in it.  I am going get through the transition phase!  I will just wear it up again.  Maybe this time I will wait 3 days before washing it. 

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• ¼ cup coconut milk (the rest of the coconut milk I put into ice trays and froze them for later use)
• ⅓ cup Liquid Castille Soap like Dr. Bronners
• 20 drops of Essential Oils   (I used lavender, rosemary and lemon)
• For dry hair: add ½ tsp olive or almond oil (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in an old shampoo bottle or jar of some kind.
2. Shake well to mix.
3. Keep in shower for up to a month.
4. Shake before each use.
5. Use about a teaspoon every time you shampoo.

I use an apple cider vinegar rinse of 1/2 water and 1/2 apple cider vinegar.  Only on the bottom part of my hair. 

 

Got the recipe from Wellness Mama's website.  I origionally looked up so many I was getting confused.  A few years ago, I decided to go no shampoo and was using baking soda and apple cider vinegar rinse.  I do not think I lasted more than 2 or 3 days.  Could not handle the transition period.

 

Do you use a homemade shampoo?  How does it work for you?  Now if I can get my husband and boys on board with this.  One thing at a time.  They are using the homemade toothpaste and baking soda.  Next the homemade deodorant, when they run out of theirs.  Their words not mine. 

 

Be blessed and be a blessing,

 

Just some of my thoughts and actions,
