DIY Homemade Shampoo

February 7, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 5 Comments

 

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.

    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.

Self-Love Spell Bath Bomb: Venus Ritual for Witchcraft and Beauty Spells

In modern witchcraft, self-love is a revolutionary act of magic. Whether you’re deep in shadow work or simply craving a moment of softness, crafting a bath ritual around self-worth is one of the most powerful spells you can cast. This Self-Love Bath Bomb Spell channels the energy of Venus, Aphrodite, and divine feminine beauty, helping you draw in love, radiance, and inner peace.

Using sacred ingredients with metaphysical correspondences like rose, vanilla, and pink Himalayan salt, this spell bath bomb turns your tub into a temple of unconditional self-devotion. This is glamour magick from the inside out.

Purpose

To open the heart, boost confidence, and draw loving energy to yourself. Best used on a Friday (Venus day) or during the waxing moon.

Scent Meaning

  • Rose: Romantic, soft, divine feminine energy
  • Vanilla: Comfort, sweetness, emotional warmth

Color & Ingredient Symbolism

  • Pink Himalayan Salt: Love, purification, emotional healing
  • Strawberry or Hibiscus Powder: Passion, sweetness, beauty
  • Rose Petals: Attraction, self-devotion
  • Pink Color: Love, compassion, Venus and Aphrodite energy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking soda
  • 1/2 cup citric acid
  • 1/2 cup pink Himalayan salt
  • 1 tbsp powdered strawberry or hibiscus
  • 1 tsp dried rose petals
  • 10 drops of rose essential oil
  • 5 drops vanilla oil
  • Witch hazel in a spray bottle
  • Rose quartz chip (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Mix essential oils into a small amount of melted carrier oil and stir into the bowl.
  3. Add pink mica or beetroot powder for color if desired.
  4. Spritz mixture with witch hazel until it holds together.
  5. Press into molds, adding rose quartz to the center if using.
  6. Let set and dry for 24 hours.

“I am worthy. I am love. I am enough.”

Ritual Instructions

  1. Cleanse your space using rose, lavender, or sandalwood incense.
  2. Light a pink candle and place a mirror beside the bath.
  3. Gently speak or chant affirmations into the water.
  4. Gaze into the mirror and say your name with love.
  5. After the bath, write a letter to yourself as if you were your own soulmate.

Self-love spells are not vanity—they’re soul nourishment. By setting time aside to bathe in sacred energy, you’re reminding your heart of its inherent worth. Keep a journal nearby, and write any insights that surface. This witchcraft beauty ritual is more than skincare—it’s sacred spellwork for your soul.

Use this bath bomb any time you feel disconnected, unloved, or in need of a magical reset. The more you love yourself, the more the universe responds in kind.
