Natural Shampoo Recipe

Want a better shampoo? Here is a natural recipe that will leave your hair ultra shiny and smooth.

Natural Shampoo Recipe

3/4 c. water
1/4 c. castile soap
1 tbsp. honey
2-3 vitamin E capsules
2-3 drops peppermint oil

Add all ingredients into a pump bottle or an old shampoo bottle. Shake it up. Wash away.

So, I find this works nicely for a natural shampoo recipe. The honey adds some shine to you hair. It is also a humectant. I am not sure what the vitamin E is good for. I feel that it helps protect against breakage with my hair. The peppermint oil it good for dry hair. It also promotes hair growth. The fresh minty feel gets blood flowing to your scalp. Hence, healthier hair! :)

One note though, it is good to use a 1:9 water to vinegar rinse as a conditioner. For one, it is natural and cheap. It also ACTUALLY works! Your hair will be smooth, soft, and free of tangles. But, lastly, it strips the soap that builds on your hair when you use a real soap. It does smell a bit, but it will be gone when it dries.

Good Luck! Let me know if you have any suggestions!

  1. Great recipe - thanks for sharing. Just remember to label the bottle well. Secret shampoo borrowers may get a shock when they experience the "invigorating" sensation of peppermint :-).
