Homemade Hair Wash

Homemade Hair Wash

For clean, fresh hair full of body, try this recipe. I like to do this once a week so my hair does not become dull from using the same shampoos and conditioners.

Step 1:

Combine

1/2 cup baking soda

3/4 cup warm/hot water

Optional: Add 1/4 cup of sea salt
for extra cleansing and for dandruff prone scalp

Pour over hair and massage into scalp.

Step 2:

Deep Condition or Regular Condition

For deep conditioning, mix:

1/4 part honey

1/4 part aloe vera

If possible, warm mixture. Ring out wet hair and coat hair with mixture. Leave on hair for a few minutes to an hour, depending on how much conditioning you want. Rinse out.

For regular conditioning:

Put an all natural store bought conditioner in hair. Massage for a minute and rinse out.

Step 3:

Rinse

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 cups water

Mix together, tilt head back, and pour mixture over hair. Massage into hair. Rinse out with cool water.
