Below is a free DIY recipe for an all natural chemical free shampoo that you can make yourself at home.
Think of the money you will save by making your own DIY shampoo using the following recipe.
Use this as a base and add your own essential oils to suit your hair type.
¼ cup distilled water ( deionized water is ok )
¼ cup liquid castile soap ( I use unscented )
½ teaspoon jojoba, grapeseed or other light vegetable oil.
Mix together all the ingredients.
Store in a bottle.
Shake before use.
This mixture isn’t as thick as commercial shampoos – you’ll need to just tilt the bottle over your head.
I am really impressed with how much lather I get from it though
For best results the first time you try this, give your hair an intensive cleanse prior to shampooing hair.
If you would like to thicken up the shampoo so it’s not quite so runny add ¼ teaspoon of xantham gum for every 250ml of shampoo made.
You can purchase xantham gum from most health food shops.
Xantham Gum is all natural and does not leave a film or residue.
Wow, I have been looking for a shampoo recipe as I am interested in experimenting with it for a while to see if it will work with my hair.
Thanks for the recipe!

Great recipe. It’s nice to have an option to create your own shampoo with natural ingredients and customize the scent/wellness benefits using essential oils. Thanks for sharing!
I can’t believe how simple it is to make a homemade shampoo. I only use certified organic shampoo to avoid any chemical preservatives. Even some of the so-called natural or organic shampoos contain questionable chemicals.
Simple and easy. Thanks for sharing.
