Nice post, it really is amazing all the junk the put in these products we use every day. One caveat to mention with that recipe is to make sure you are using natural or organic liquid soap – if not you have many of the same toxic ingredients in the liquid soap as you do the shampoo. A great pre-treatment is to use coconut oil on your hair before you shampoo it aids in the cleaning process plus adds moisture.

I’ve been using plain old bar soap and I get compliments on my hair. Sometimes I rinse with white vinegar or white vinegar that has had lemon shells left over from juicing soaked in it for a few days. I just don’t want all those chemicals in the usual commercial stuff. My hair and scalp stay healthier.

Vitamin E (in the dropper form) works really well to make your hair nice and soft. There are a ton of other varieties you can make as well. For example, if you have trouble with a dry scalp you can take the recipe above and add:

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons of apple juice
6 finely ground cloves

Put the ingredients into a grinder or blender and mix on low for 30 seconds. This mixture only lasts for about 3 days before you have to throw it out, so don’t make too much!
