Herbal Shampoo

Do try this at home. Re-work the recipe to compliment your hair.

7 oz distilled water
4 Tbsp liquid castile soap
6 Tbsp Herbs
Glass jar or bowl
Plastic 8oz bottle( you can use a spray bottle)
Pot
Strainer
Spoon


Choose 2 or 3 herbs for your hair(check my herbs list for reference).

Pour distill water in pot and boil.
Place herbs in strainer over glass jar or bowl.
Pour hot water over herbs allow to steep for at least 10 minutes, if you want a stronger mix leave it longer( don't get herbs into the water).

Pour castile soap in the other bottle, then pour herbal water into the bottle.

That's it! Pretty simple. This should take approximately 20 minutes to make, including steeping time.

Honey Hair Conditioner

2 Tbsp Honey
4 Cups warm water
1 tsp Baking soda

Mix it all together and apply to hair. Cover for 15 mins then wash out.

Why honey?
Its molecules retains moisture which is great for dry hair.

Ylang Ylang Shampoo

If you are like me, tired of applying chemicals to your hair with names you can't even pronounce.Try being creative and make your own. After all if they can make it why can't you?


Ylang Ylang Shampoo(pronounced ee-lang ee-lang)


1/2 oz of castile liquid soap base( like Dr. Bronner's) or 4 oz of Pure castile soap chips.
32 oz of distilled water
4-8 drops essential oil of your choice( I use ylang ylang oil, hence the name of the shampoo)

Directions:

1. Bring water to boil
2. Pour over soap chips
3. Stir until dissolved
4. Add essential oils, mix 4-8 drops in a tsp of rubbing alcohol( I usually skip the alcohol).
5. Store in a plastic container or spray bottle.
   

If you use the liquid soap base

Just mix water and soap then add the oils.
