What ingredients do I need to make homemade shampoo?

posted on August 28, 2010 in homemade shampoo

also, is washing your hair with only water enough to keep it clean?
irweasel- do you know the recipe?
I found something:

All Natural Shampoo (ACV) Apple Cider Vinegar
Add the following ingredients in a blender:
1 oz. Olive oil
1 egg
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ACV.
Use as you would a regular shampoo

Herbal Hair Rinse Combinations Using ACV
Use ΒΌ fresh herb or you can use dry ones. You can use any herb you like. Add to 1 quart boiling water. Let is steep until cool strain then add 2 tablespoons of ACV. Certain herbs can enhance your hair color, as well as condition it. Rosemary and parsley are good for dark hair, sage will darken graying hair, chamomile will highlight blonde or light brown hair, calendula conditions, lavender and lemon verbena add fragrance, linden is good for frequently shampooed hair, and nettles will control dandruff.

  3. Hot water will probably not clean your hair very well.

    A mixture of honey and apple cider vinegar is actually supposed to be the best homemade shampoo, it cleans without damaging your hair.

  5. Orange juice and gasoline….no, wait that’s ENTIRELY different ; p
    Egg and Lemon and Olive oil in your hair sounds like a mighty smelly combo. I don’t think people do that anymore…you’re making head mayo : /
