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
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.
