The Art & Science of Homemade Shampoo

Homemade shampooHomemade shampoo is not as easy as it sounds. Many a budding shampoo maker is put off when their first few attempts go awry. However learning to make shampoo is a black art that is definitely worth it in the long run. So here are some pointers to get you well on your way to becoming a master of the homemade shampoo and an connoisseur of the homemade conditioner.

When you start out, you should treat your first few concoctions as tests. In other words you shouldn’t get down when your shampoo doesn’t turn out the way you expected; it’s just a test result. As the old saying goes, “The man who makes no mistakes makes nothing”. Don’t expect every shampoo recipe to have spectacular results. There are many variables such as your type of hair, the condition of your scalp, and the quality of the ingredients. For example, people learning how to make shampoo frequently complain that causing them to have dandruff. Rather than see this as a failure, you should write down the exact recipe and make a note of the effects it had.

Next you should ask questions online to help guide you. A great place to learn is the Yahoo! Answers site. The chances are that your exact question has already been answered, but if not you can pose the question for a rapid barrage of responses. I just looked up for the example of dandruff and got the following tip: – “It may help you to use rosemary or tea tree. Maybe even an organic scalp massage oil.” It’s very much a process of trial and error, which is a good thing. Being able to master the art is an adventure into the unknown, and should not be feared but treated as an exciting journey!! It’s much more fun that way and in my experience the best homemade shampoo results come from people who enjoy the process.

What is a good homemade face scrub?

posted on March 3, 2011 in homemade scrub

I have an oily t-zone and a dry o-zone but all of my face is flakey please help thanks for your time:)

I have the same problem. The best thing is salt or sugar mixed into clear organic honey. Make sure the grains are fine so you do not damage your skin. It works wonders. I sometimes finish with a couple of drops of almond oil on my face before i sleep. Balances it all out.

i have tried the lemon in it too, but my skin is so flaky at times it stings and makes it more dry. Oil and sugar gave me breakouts and enlarged pores in my oily areas. Try and see what works best for you.
