Homemade Hair Shampoo: Coconut Milk Shampoo
Hi everyone,
I love making homemade hair shampoos. I just wanna share this Coconut Milk Shampoo that I tried and tested very effective to me.
Homemade hair shampoo is just as hygienic as the stuff you’re shelling out big bucks for at the store. Plus, it is super easy to make… it’ll take you all of 10 minutes (tops!).
Trust me, once you try this homemade hair shampoo you’ll be asking yourself “Why didn’t I know about this sooner?!”
INGREDIENTS
⅓ cup Castile
1 tsp. oil (can be olive, almond, or avocado oil)
1 ½ cups coconut milk
2 Tbsp raw honey
1 ½ cups water
20-30 drops essential oil
Container
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat water; you’ll want it very warm.
2. Dissolve honey in water.
3. Pour into chosen container.
Note: I didn’t want to use glass in the shower so I upcycled a VOSS water bottle for my homemade hair shampoo; for more convenient dispensing you may wish to reuse a shampoo bottle.
4. Add Castile, oil, coconut milk, and any oils to the bottle.
5. Swirl gently; shaking will cause it to foam up and spill over.
Note: You’ll want to swirl gently before each use.
If you feel you need a conditioner in addition to this homemade hair shampoo, pick up a bottle of apple cider vinegar from the store, pour some through your hair after shampooing, and rinse well with water.
