Default Homemade shampoo!

Here are some easy recipes you can use to find the perfect formula for your hair....

1. Vinegar Rinse :-

A vinegar rinse is the simplest way to go. Mix 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into two cups of hot water. Work this through your wet hair, massage in and then rinse out.

This works really well. The vinegar rinse doesn't strip any of the moisture from the hair, rather it is more of a mild conditioning treatment.

2. Fresh Lemons :-

I have used fresh lemons a good few times and found them very effective as a homemade hair shampoo.

Simply cut a lemon in half and squeeze the lemon halves directly onto your scalp and work the lemon through your hair well, and then rinse out thoroughly.

Again, this is best when you have some oiliness at the roots, and can be a little drying if you don't.

3. Baking Soda :-

A tablespoon of baking soda mixed with two cups of hot water makes a great homemade shampoo recipe for oily hair.

Hello again..

Its good to know that some people find this post of mine useful.
I would also like to share some more tips for homemade shampoo :

You will only need 2 ingredients.
-> 1 Tbsp baking soda – We buy baking soda in bulk because we use a ton and it saves even more money.
-> 1 cup water – Like I said, one of the ingredients is free. Use whatever kind of water you wish – we use tap which is English for “out of the sink.”

Simply shake the bottle before each use and gently massage into the hair and scalp for a minute or two and rinse.
