Home-made Shampoo and Conditioner

It's hard to find a cheap SLS free (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate) shampoo and this one is very easy to do and great for your hair!



What you will need:


  1. Baking Soda
  2. Apple Cider vinegar or white vinegar (which ever one you have to hand)
  3. water
  4. Old shampoo and conditioner bottles which have been cleaned out
  5. Funnel

How to make your shampoo:



  1. Use your funnel to pour 8 oz. of hot water into your bottle 
  2. Add 1 Tbsp. ofbaking soda 
  3. replace lid and shake until the baking soda is well dissolved

How to make your conditioner:



  1. Once again use your funnel to pour 8 oz. of hot water into your second bottle
  2. Add 1 Tbsp. of your vinegar
  3. replace lid and shake well

How to use


  1. Simply wet hair down
  2. Rub in baking soda mix into your scalp 
  3. rinse
  4. then repeat with the vinegar mix


Tips:

  1. it will take your hair some time to get used to the new regime so don't give up!
  2. If your hair seems a little oily, only at the vinegar rinse to the tips of your hair
  3. If you find a white residue in your hair then your using too much baking soda and should therefore cut down on the amount you use


Warning:


If you dye your hair then the baking soda rinse isn't for you as it will strip the colour from your hair. But if you use veggie dyes then by all means use the vinegar rinse as this will cut down on any transfer issues you may have.
