Homemade Shampoo

Benefits of each essential oil for this shampoo:

Rosemary– Hair loss preventative
Thyme– Antiseptic{prevents the growth of disease-causing microorganisms}
and disinfectant{destroys bacteria}
Lavender–Heals skin
Tea Tree–Dandruff control

I was inspired to make my own shampoo after reading 1001 Natural Remedies. I took a couple of her hair shampoo recipes and came up with this.

Ingredients:
1 part shredded soap (I used 1 bar)
3 parts water (For each cup of shredded soap, I tripled the water)
Essential Oils (For each 12 ounces, I used 45 drops of Rosemary, 30 drops of Thyme,
30 drops of Lavender, and 10 drops of Tea Tree Oil)

Process:

Bring water to a boil. Turn off the heat, but keep the pot on the burner. Add the shredded soap, and let set until melted and cooled.

Stir in essential oils.

Pour into containers.

Store extras in a cool, dry place(refrigerator may be best!). This is not the normal consistency of shampoo, so be careful. It’s runny like water. 😉
