Home made lavender shampoo

Hello my lovely followers

Okay so I am so excited that I just had to do a quick blog. I made some lavender shampoo a couple of days ago and used it today. You talking about something that was awesome when it first went on my head I could tell that it was going to fully moisturize and clean my hair. I got out of the shower and my hair was bouncy and clean without being stripped. I don't use shampoo I co-wash my hair (co-wash or no poo is a term used when naturals only use conditioners to wash their hair) but I wanted to give shampoo a try and ran across this recipe, it was such a pleasant surprise and not to mention totally relaxing because of the lavender. Unfortunately I did not jot down the website that I received this recipe from but a major shout out to whomever came up with this little piece of heaven for my hair! Try it out and see if you like it as always what works for me might not work for you but my motto is as long as it is a natural product there is nothing that could happen, other than I hate it or love it. The recipe is below please let me know if this works for you


Always,

Verano

Lavender Shampoo

Lavender is an time honored aromatherapy treasure. It soothes an irritated scalp and stimulates the hair follicles. Lavender also aids in relaxation and feelings of well-being.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup fresh lavender

2 tablespoons of glycerin

1/2 cup Natural Shampoo Base

Essential Oils:

5 drops of lavender essential oil

Method:

Mix water and lavender together into a heavy bottom pot and bring to a boil.

Let boil gently for at least twenty minutes.

Let cool slightly and add basic shampoo mixture and glycerin slowly to herbal mixture.

Mix well.

Pour shampoo into container and let stand for a few days to allow the mixture to thicken.

Use as you would your regular shampoo.
