Having read about all the benefits of Castile Soap I decided to have a go at a DIY shampoo.
This is the recipe I used:
Moisturizing Shampoo for Dry or Damaged Hair
1/4 cup/60 ml Liquid Castile Soap
1/4 cup/60 ml Aloe Vera Gel
1 tsp Glycerin
1/4 tsp light vegetable oil eg. Macadamia/Jojoba/Avocado
2 tsp SKB 10%
10 drops Peppermint Oil
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients until well combined. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, and shake before every use. Apply liberally to wet hair and let sit a few minutes before rinsing well with cool water.
It lathered up quite well, but the solution is a bit runny. Please feel free to contribute any other recommendations |

I seem to have an itchy scalp, no matter what sort of shampoo I use - and I have always tried to use "natural" or organic ones that contain no SLS. However, since I've been using the castile soap shampoo - no itching!
I also have another version now:
Peppermint Shampoo
1 cup castile soap
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tsp SKB
1/8 teaspoon peppermint essential oil
¼ teaspoon vitamin E oil
Combine all ingredients in a plastic bottle and shake well to mix.
And I'm also using this recipe as a rinse:
Lemon & Honey Rinse
2 cups hot water
2 green tea bags
1 tbs honey
1 lemon or lime
Infuse the tea bags in the hot water until tea is quite strong, remove and mix in other ingredients. |
