To all the girls out there what homemade shampoo really cleans the hair?

posted on August 21, 2010 in homemade shampoo


Early shampoos used in Indonesia were made from the husk and straw (merang) of rice. The husks and straws were burned into ash, and the ashes (which have alkaline properties) are mixed with water to form lather. The ashes and lather were scrubbed into the hair and rinsed out, leaving the hair clean, but very dry. Afterwards, coconut oil was applied to the hair in order to moisturize it.[

  1. First of all, it depends on what type of hair you have. If you have dandruff, you should use head&shoulders because it does work. If you have frizzy, straight, etc. you should use herbal essences shampoo. its for different types of hair and you can find it in Walgreens, Target, etc. I use the herballessences mandarin balm&pearls. hope this helped.
