Making your own shampoo: a healthy, inexpensive and fun choice (2)

A simple, fun, effective and affordable recipe

 

Your hair and piggy will be happy.

As promised in my last blog, here is a super simple shampoo recipe to make. Since this shampoo does not have the commercial ingredients mentioned previously, do not expect it to foam, to last as long and to leave you hair plasticky silky as regular shampoos do. It also takes more of this soap to wash your hair. By how much? It really depends on the length of your hair. After shampooing, you may wish to use Face to Grace rosemary and cloves hair rinse and lime hair revitalizer, or your regular conditioner. Your hair and your live will love it for a long, long time!

And to start the fun, why not put on the Hair, Shampoo or Black Shampoo CD or anything that sets you in the mood.

Making your own shampoo: a healthy, inexpensive and fun choice (1)

Although buying ready made shampoo is extremely convenient, regular commercial shampoos are definitely a health hazard. Buying organic shampoos is certainly an improvement, but may not necessarily remove all the risks and they are much more expensive. Making your own is safe, affordable, simple and fun.

What is in shampoos these days?
Actually, unless you know about chemistry, chances are you don’t know. Companies use many synthetic chemicals in their shampoos, most of them known carcinogens, or agents that become carcinogenic when mixed with others, or that allow two or more ingredients to bind and become carcinogenic compounds. So here are some words to recognize.
