Not all beauty products are good for the body due to their chemical additions. For example, if you have sensitive skin, they may cause irritation, inflammation, redness, etc. When it comes to shampooing, be careful because the skin on your head is the same, or perhaps more sensitive than your facial skin.
Chemical vs Natural
| Lavender based shampoo: This is perfect if you have blond/fair hair. All you need to do is squize two lemons and keep the juice, two tablespoons of lavender water and two eggs. Mix all the ingredients and massage the mixture into your hair. Rinse out and repeat. Leave it fifteen minutes. Then rinse well and use a conditioner preferably a natural one but that is another topic maybe for an article in the nearby future. |
| Rose water based shampoo: For brown or black hair. Take two tablespoons of vinegar, two tablespoons of rose water and two eggs. Mix all the ingredients and massage the mixture into your hair. Rinse it out and repeat. Leave it fifteen minutes. Then rinse well and use a conditioner like mentioned before possibly homemade, for the best result. |
| Nettle and rosemary based shampoo: This is perfect for people who suffer from hair loss or fragile hair. Put two handful of saponaria (that is a flower.) and 400 ml of water in a steel pan and boil for 10 minutes. Put on a lid and let it cool down. If it has cooled, then sieve it and put it in a bottle with a cap. Then make an infusion by adding half a tablespoon of fresh rosemary and adding a handful of nettles to 250 ml of boiling water. Let it stand for half an hour, stir it and pour it into the bottle at the saponaria mixture. Shake the bottle so that the ingredients mix well and use as a shampoo or rinse. |
| Coconut and egg based shampoo: This is for dry hair. Consider the same recipe as the previous recipe to make the saponaria mixture. Then melt two tablespoons of coconut oil and add to the mixture, together with one egg yolk and three drops of brandy. Keep stirring. Allow it to cool well before applying it to the moist skin. Allow it to work for five minutes and then rinse well with warm water. |
| Herbal Shampoo: Another option for damaged hair. Boil fifteen grams of Fennel root and fifteen grams of Elder or Clover in 250 ml of water. Let it boil for ten minutes. Sieve and add 125 ml of grated, neutral soap. Allow to cool and store in a sealed pot. Use it as a traditional shampoo. |
| Orange and soap based shampoo: You need half a liter of a natural made soap, two tablespoons of orange juice and two eggs. Beat the egg yolk and add the other ingredients. Store it in a jar in the refrigerator. Use the way you usually wash your hair, making it silky smooth. |
NEUTRAL SHAMPOO RECIPE
About the expiration date
My shampoo bottle is always empty before it can spoil. Although there is water in it (yes, home-made cosmetics that contain water are very sensitive to fungal and bacterial growth! Certainly if you do not want to add chemical preservatives like me.) The shampoo lasts about 1 month but make your shampoo in smaller quantities if you want to play safe. Another tip I can give you is to shake your bottle before using to mix everything.
