Homemade coconut shampoo is a great a way to restore your hair’s moisture. Making your own shampoo is a natural, affordable way to take great care of your hair. It’s fun, organic and you can customize it to suit your own hair type. This is also a great way to avoid commercial shampoos with sulfite, if you have an allergy or just feel as though most hair products are full of too many chemicals.

Things to keep in mind when making your own shampoo:

- The one ingredient you’ll definitely need for most recipes is Castile soap– priced at about $6 for 8oz.

- Homemade shampoo doesn’t lather up like store bought shampoo.

- Experiment until you find a shampoo that suits your hair type!

1/2 cup hot water

Other great homemade shampoos to consider:

1 1/2 tsp olive oil

Tea Tree Oil Shampoo – great for dry scalps and dandruff!

6oz Castile Soap

5 drops tea tree oil

1/2 teaspoon jojoba oil

If your looking for more fun shampoo recipes, here is a list of herbs and oils that are best suited for certain types of hair:

Dry Hair – Lavender flowers, sandalwood oil, cedarwood oil

Oily Hair - Sage, lemongrass, peppermint, lemon oil

Normal Hair - Redclover, Rosemary, lavender oil

If you don’t have time to shower before you run out of the house but your hair looks oil, apply cornstarch to your scalp, wait a few minutes and comb it out. It’s a great, natural dry shampoo remedy.

If you’re looking for some volume that your shampoo isn’t providing, take 3/4 cup of any beer, boil it, cool it and mix it with your shampoo. You’ll appreciate the results!

Making homemade shampoos is fun, affordable and natural. Experiment with different types and see what suits you. Also consider making your favorites as holiday or birthday gifts.
