1000 Flowers for the Planet - #364 Make Your Own Shampoo
It’s actually very easy to toss the commercial shampoo
bottle away and wash your hair using only two ingredients, although you could
keep the old shampoo bottle to store your new mixture in. Mix 1 part baking
soda with 6 parts water. Shake your container well each time you use it. Put
some of the mixture onto dry hair and massage well into the scalp. Go on! Give
yourself a relaxing head massage. Leave for a couple of minutes then rinse off.
Follow this with a second mixture of 1 part white vinegar (go organic) to 8
parts water. You can add something like a cinnamon stick and a few drops of
vanilla to this, or a few drops of your favourite essential oil to mask the
vinegar smell. Rub some of this mixture onto your scalp and leave for about
half a minute before rinsing thoroughly. Done.
Making your own shampoo with a few natural ingredients will
save you a lot of money. It will still give you clean hair, and you may even
find your hair is healthier. It will be a whole lot better than pouring
chemicals over your body in the shower and then down the drain to pollute the
water systems. It can only serve the planet better, and your health as well.
Give it a try.
