Anybody made a homemade shampoo using only natural ingredients?

Using soapwort or another natural foaming agent that is not based on sodium lauryl sulphate or other harsh unnatural chemicals. Just curious to know what you have used for the 'soap' part of the shampoo.Anybody made a homemade shampoo using only natural ingredients?
Castile soap. You can buy it in the bottle and dilute it 1 tbsp to 16 oz water and it lathers good. Find it at any health food store. It's a liquid and has been around since 1800's. You can use it on everything it's so gentle. I've used it and it contains no synthetics at all.


Or goat milk soap bar www.dandesoap.com. She also carries a castor oil shampoo bar.


Everything you buy these days has that mess in it. Also, you can take soap scrapes, place two pieces or one motel sample soap, into a 16 oz jar or bowl. fill with water. It will gel overnight, stir and it's ready to use. Plus you are recycling your left over soap. I've used all three and my hair is down to my waist.Anybody made a homemade shampoo using only natural ingredients?
You can try shaving off an amount of Neutrogena soap for sudsing purposes (the unscented type).





I use it for sudsing with baking soda for brushing my teeth. No, it doesn't taste soapy, I don't use that much.





I just rub the dry brush on the bar to get plenty for my purposes. For shampooing, I'd think just passing the bar over a microplane grater a few times would yield enough.
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!

Make a paste with baking soda and water, massage this into your scalp and rinse well. Next 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 your hair feel very soft.

Put 1 banana in a blender and add some natural yogurt and apply to hair after shampooed- leave for a minute and rinse out with warm water- comes up a treat





Or





Use a juicer and juice 2 oranges. 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've also heard that





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.
I use aloevera
Hi 鈾?Zene Purrs. You can buy a natural liquid soap from the health food store. Also purchase some essential oils such as lavender (for all hair types), rosemary, clary sage, cedar wood, birch and peppermint (for hair loss) bergamot, rosewood, eucalyptus etc. Also purchase natural oils such as olive, jojoba, or avocado. Here鈥檚 what to do; in a clean spray bottle, pour in about 陆 a cup of distilled or spring water. Add 1 cup of liquid soap. Then take 2 tsp of your vegetable oil and add 10 to 20 drops of your chosen essential oils. It can be just one or several combined oils. Shake gently. There you have it. Simple as that! (Essential oils always need to be in a vegetable oil base because of its concentration). You should not need a cream rinse after that because oils will be replaced.





1) If you need deep conditioning, try saturating your hair in mayonnaise or warmed olive oil. Wrap tightly and cover with a shower cap and let rest on the hair for approximately 20 minutes, then rinse out. You can also take 2 egg yolks and whisk them until frothy, then add some warm water. Pour over hair and leave on for 2 minutes then rinse well.





2) It鈥檚 a good idea to do a final rinse on your hair with something acidic such as cider vinegar, lemon juice, beer or even milk. Add any of these ingredients with some water to rinse your hair with to restore the alkaline/acid balance of your hair and scalp, and take off any residue you may have left on your hair.

I have curly hair and make a rinse out of lavender and water. I don't add any sudsing agents. This rinse still cleans the hair without stripping it of needed oils. Do you have curly hair or straight?





I'm gonna star this because I find it interesting...





EDIT: Straight hair needs more shampoo than curly --the curlier the hair is the more likely somebody could get by with a rinse. Even with straight hair the rise is a good idea every now and then or you can make a bunch and leave it in an old coke bottle and keep it next to the tub. At the end of your shower you can poor it over you hair and it will be cold which will leave your hair extra shiny because the cold water will smooth the hair out (think of how it closes the pores on your face).
