Have You Ever Heard of Castile Soap?
Most of us would want to achieve a shiny, bouncy, and healthy head of hair, like what we see in various shampoo commercials. Imagine how great it would have been, getting your desired attractive hair by just washing it with shampoo.
However, what a lot of us don’t know, is that most shampoo brands, as well as many name brand bar soaps, actually contain ingredients that are, one way or another, harmful to our health. But, there are a lot of safe alternatives you can settle for, while still making your hair look beautiful. One way is by making your own shampoo with homemade liquid soap, which is a safe option when taking care of your hair. The results can be as just dramatic as what you see in shampoo commercials.
With all the claims that popular shampoo brands contain harmful chemicals, one alternative you can do to prevent harmful effects is by making your very own shampoo. This way, you are able to measure and prepare the ingredients of your very own shampoo. It’s even more economical than purchasing commercialized shampoo brands.
Making soap for your shampoo, may require more effort than just buying shampoo, but you will surely have fun while preparing it and eventually you will get the hang of doing it.

Yes, water can be added to these shampoo recipes. It helps to dilute the liquid castile soap and make the shampoo easier to use. You can adjust the amount of water based on your preferences and hair type.

We don’t currently have a specific recipe for grey dry senior hair, but you can try adding nourishing ingredients like jojoba oil or coconut milk to the shampoo recipe. Experiment and see what works best for your hair.
I’ve used 1/4 of water of water and 1/4 of liquid Castile soap, and my hair is very bad, i mean it’s greasy and no shiny. I rinse it with apple cider vinegar, but still is bad. Help!
I’m sorry to hear that the shampoo didn’t work well for you. Sometimes, the ratio of water to liquid castile soap needs to be adjusted based on individual preferences and hair type. You might want to try using more water or less soap to see if it makes a difference. Don’t forget to rinse thoroughly and consider using a conditioner if needed.
I’m going to try some of these.
That’s wonderful! I hope you find a recipe that suits your hair and enjoy the benefits of making your own shampoo.
Most people I talk to are oblivious to the fact that scalp therapy shampoos for fast hair growth (obviously with no sulfates, no parabens or DEA) are a thing. Hair styling enthusiasts can now achieve longer hair and possess more possibilities. Definitely worth checking out.
Whether you’re assessing alopecia, damaged hair, preventing skin disorders, hair growth, hair care more often than not, very similar ideas actualize.
As a general rule, you have to stay away from hair products and treatments that contain chemicals such as parabens, DEA or sulfates.
What is beneficial for your hair is beneficial for your skin as well.
