Benefits of Homemade Shampoo<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, when you have homemade shampoo, you\u2019re not going to be spending as much money on those expensive brands in the store or at the salon. Consider how\"Making much money you spend on shampoo each year for your entire family.
\nA bottle of high-quality shampoo can cost between $10 and $15 per bottle. Of course, there are some that are much more. For the purpose of this example, we will say that you are buying shampoo that\u2019s about $10 a bottle, and you\u2019re going through two of those bottles each month for your entire family. That\u2019s only $20 a month, but it equates to $240 per year. You can surely find a better way to spend that money.
\nIn addition to saving money, you will know exactly what ingredients are going into the shampoo. This means you don\u2019t have to worry about unpronounceable chemicals being placed on you and your family. When you look at the recipe we\u2019ve included here, you will see just how easy it is to keep your hair clean and to keep all those chemicals at bay.<\/p>\n

The Simplest Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is going to be one of the simplest shampoo recipes \u2013 or any recipe for that matter \u2013 you\u2019ll ever find. It\u2019s been around for quite a while, and it works well.
\nYou need to have one tablespoon of baking soda and 1 cup of water. Mix those two ingredients together, and put in an old shampoo bottle. That\u2019s all there is to it. Once you\u2019ve made the shampoo, you just have to shake the bottle, little dab on your hand, and wash your hair just as you normally would. It\u2019s good for any type of hair, and you don\u2019t have to worry about stripping away the natural oils.
\nOnce again, baking soda has proven to be one of the best items that any homesteader can have on hand. If you want to make sure you\u2019re saving the most money, then you might want to buy in bulk. This way, you can use the baking soda for other tasks as well, including cleaning and brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n

Getting Fancy<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the preceding recipe is very simple and it is all that most people are ever going to need, you might want to treat yourself to something a little bit different once in a while. To do that, you can add a bit of essential oils to the shampoo mixture to give it some scent. You can also add in a teaspoon of honey.
\nAs long as you are using natural ingredients, you can add quite a few different things to the shampoo and still keep it safe to use for any type of hair and any type of skin.<\/p>\n
