Homemade Rosemary Shampoo
Made with natural ingredients, this hydrating shampoo recipe is perfect for nearly any hair type.
Servings: 4 oz
Equipment
- 6 oz squeeze bottle - old shampoo bottles work great!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup castile soap I use Dr. Bronner’s unscented.
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon honey
- 10 drops vitamin E oil
- 10 drops rosemary essential oil
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
- Broad sprectrum preservative optional
Instructions
- Mix the coconut milk and castile soap together in a small bowl.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the olive oil and honey. Make sure it is well combined.
- Add the oil and honey to the coconut milk and castile soap. Stir well.
- Add the vitamin E oil and essential oils, then stir well.
- If using a preservative, add it now and stir thoroughly to ensure it's fully incorporated into the mixture.
Notes
- For best results, store your homemade shampoo in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is good for one week without a preservative.
- If you are using a preservative, be sure to follow the instructions on the bottle and dilute it properly.
- If you have thick, long hair, castile soap may leave your hair tangled. It is best to follow up with a natural homemade conditioner after using this shampoo. Or you can rinse your hair with an apple cider vinegar hair rinse after rinsing out the shampoo.
