Making your own herbal hair shampoo
In 1990 I decided not to use the commercially made shampoos after
reading Aubrey Hampton’s book, “Natural Organic Hair and Skin
Care.” In this book Aubrey tells you how to read the label on any
product that you put on your skin or hair.
Manufacturers are constantly using toxic chemicals in their skin
and hair products and disregard their toxic effects on your body.
This is easily seen in the list of chemicals that they use. Here
are a few of these chemicals found in many product labels:
1 propylene glycol or glycol– a petrochemical used because it is
cheap
2 cetearyl alcohol – emulsifier that can be synthetic or natural
3 methylparaben or propylparaben – typical synthetic
preservatives
4 distearate – this is polyethylene glycol or polypropylene
glycol which are petrochemicals
5 isopropyl alcohol – used as a cheap solvent to carry synthetic
oils.
Here is a natural shampoo that you can make. This formulation is
something that I have been using for many years. First collect
the following items:
4 oz of castile soap with any scent is that available – plain,
peppermint, eucalyptus.
½ oz of rosemary - stimulates the hair follicles and helps to
prevent premature baldness
½ oz of sage – has antioxidants and keeps things from spoiling
and is antibacterial
½ oz of nettles – acts as a blood purifier, blood stimulator,
contains a large source of nutrients for hair growth
½ of lavender – controls the production of sebaceous gland oil
and reduces itchy and flaky scalp conditions
2000 mg of MSM – provides organic sulfur to your scalp, which
improves the health and strength of your hair. It also helps to
drive herbal nutrient into the skin and follicles where they can
do the most good.
one empty 8 oz plastic bottle, or any other empty shampoo or soap
bottle.
Mix the herbs in a mason jar, which has a lid. Boil 2 cups of
distilled water. Add 3 heaping tablespoons of the mixed herbs
into the boiling water. Pull the boiling water and herbs off the
stove. Let the herb mixture sit for 30 – 40 minutes. Put the
2000mg of MSM into the herb mixture after 30 minutes of cooling.
After 40 minutes and the MSM is melted, strain the herbal mixture
into a bowl.
Pour 2 to 2 1/2 oz of strained herbal tea into the 8 oz plastic
bottle. Now, pour the 4 oz of castile soap into the 8 oz plastic
bottle. Cap the bottle and shake to mix the ingredients.
The shampoo is now finished and ready for use. Use this as a base
for all of the shampoos you make. You can add different herbs as
you learn what these herbs do and how they help your hair. You
can vary the ingredients according to your taste. But now you
have a shampoo that has no additives that can harm you.
