DIY

Several shampoo recipes exist depending on the nature of your hair.

Here, we propose a simple recipe for “normal” hair. You will need only 3-4 ingredients:

1/4 cup of liquid Castille soap

1/4 cup of coconut milk

20 drops of essential oil (optional)

For dry hair: 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil (olive, almond…)

Mix the ingredients in a jar.

You can find this recipe in its entirety, along with other recipes, on Wellness Mama.
