This is my recipe for my herbal tea shampoo. I used Nettle and Burdock to help with hair growth. Check out my blog for some other herbs that are beneficial to the hair and scalp.

I also use the Lavender Castile Soap because I love the scent of lavender. You can use the unscented baby soap and add your own fragrance using essential oils (like in the conditioner recipe).

I love this shampoo because it leaves my locs feeling really soft!

This is the recipe for the Olive Oil conditioner that I talked about in the “Wash Your Locs” video. It can be used as a regular after shampoo conditioner, leave-in conditioner, or hair spritz.

Note: I am not a cosmetologist or a chemist. This recipe is what works for me, but I can’t guarantee it will be great for everyone.

The recipe is:
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup aloe vera gel (dietary kind)
2 tbsp of vegetable glycerine
1 tbsp of honey
Essential Oils

Please make changes to it to suit your needs. If you do, comment and let us know what you did!
