Homemade Shampoo

Homemade Shampoo

Homemade shampoo can be made with just two common and natural pantry ingredients. It's also cheaper than store-bought and works just as well.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients together.
  2. We mix ours in double batches into a clean, repurposed shampoo bottle. Feel free to use whatever container you like, doubling up on ingredients until it's full.

How to Use Your Homemade Shampoo

  1. Simply shake the bottle before each use and squirt directly onto the scalp and hair. Gently massage into the scalp hair for a minute or two and rinse well.

  2. For best results, follow with a homemade conditioning rinse. The homemade conditioning rinse is imperative for restoring the pH of your hair and smoothing the hair cuticle. It will also keep your hair from feeling greasy/sticky after using homemade shampoos.

Notes

This shampoo is not intended for daily use, as the baking soda can potentially be drying to hair and scalp. We recommend using it as a clarifying shampoo. It's perfect for those times when you got a little carried away with hair products and need to remove some buildup, or when you're first switching over to homemade shampoos and need to remove some of the buildup commercial shampoos can leave behind.

This homemade shampoo will give the best results when used with soft water.
