This next post is going to be my next try at homemade shampoo, or No-Poo I guess. This article comes from http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Shampoo/step10/NO-POO/
The article has 10 homemade shampoo recipes, 8 of the 10 have Castile Soap in them and I guess to me that's just using someone else's soap to make yours. I know silly, but that's me. 1 is a dry method, not done with water. The Last of the 10 in a No-Poo recipe. At the end of the recipe there are helpful tips to adjust the recipe to your own hair. So if mine is dry as a board in the winter I add a little honey and that should help, but in the summer when gets a little oilier I removed the honey and I should do fine.
Step 10NO 'POO
Though there are already plenty of instructables that cover this topic, I thought my list wouldn't be complete without including the simplest way to get clean, healthy hair.
In another cup, pour about 1 oz (~1/8 cup) apple cider vinegar.
When you get into the shower, fill the baking soda cup with about 1/4 c water.
Apply this to your roots only; work it in and let it sit for a minute.
Then begin to gently scrub your scalp, stimulating blood flow and cleaning out your pores.
This will actually stimulatehair growth .
Lastly, scrub the back of your skull and your temples/sideburns. This will result in less grease and more growth.
Rinse!
Follow by adding about 1/4 c water to your vinegar cup.
Pour the apple cider vinegar over the ends of your hair, let it sit for a minute and then rinse it out.
No 'PooTroubleshooting
There may be a transition period from two weeks to two months depending on the person. Here are a few tips:
" If your hair becomes frizzy, try using less baking soda or leaving it on for a shorter period of time. Adding honey may also help.
" If your hair becomes greasy, try using less apple cider vinegar, switching to lemon or lime juice, leaving out the honey, and/or using a comb instead of a brush. Also, make sure you reapplying the apple cider vinegar just to the ends of your hair.
" If your scalp itches, try the following essential oils; tea tree, lavender, rosemary. If your hair becomes dry, try a tiny bit of oil (any oil, I use olive) smoothed on bottom of hair.
Have fun and enjoy!
