Homemade Poo-Free "Shampoo/Conditioner"

Yes, I have made the plunge into trying to make my own body care products and household cleaners.  I was a little skeptical of some of the recipes wondering how they could possibly work, after all I love my Herbal Essences Shampoos and Conditioners and the thought of giving those up was sad.  BUT after 2 weeks now of using my new "shampoo" and "conditioner" that I made tweaking the recipe I found here, my hair is softer and easier to manage! I love it! So, I thought I would share.  Keep in mind, it is okay to think I'm crazy because well, I thought this was crazy too, but I tried it anyway, I guess because I'm crazy like that. :)

SHAMPOO MIX:
• 4 TBS Baking Soda
• 32 oz Water
• 5 drops of Essential Oil (I used lavender)

CONDITIONER MIX:
• 4 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar
• 32 oz Water
• 5-10 drops of Essential Oil (I used lavender)

I put these each in a large spray bottle and I just thoroughly spray in the "shampoo" until my hair is saturated then wash my hair and rinse.  Repeat with the "conditioner".

    Any suggestions on what to use if this dries out my scalp? I used these for quite a few months and my scalp really went dry and the eczema on my face broke out badly.

      I am sorry to hear that. My son also suffers from eczema and we use a different shampoo for him. That might be helpful. Here is the link: http://www.homemakergonenatural.com/2013/05/homemade-natural-dandruff-shampoo.html
