Top 10 Shampoo Made at Home ( Ayurvedic Hair Shampoo Solution Made at Home )
Basic homemade shampoo
A basic and simple homemade shampoo recipe for normal hair. Can be used as is or add your own fragrance by using essential oils
What do you need:
¼ cup distilled Water
¼ cup liquid Castile soap (or any natural liquid Olive oil soap)
½ teaspoon light Vegetable oil (olive, grape seed, avocado, jojoba oil etc.)
How to do it:
Simply mix all ingredients until you have a nice smooth substance. Pour it in a bottle (squeeze bottle, foaming bottle, flip cap bottle) and wash away; you’ll notice this shampoo will give an impressive lather
It might be slightly thinner than you’re used to in a regular shampoo but that won’t take away from the power and the fun.
Hibiscus homemade shampoo
The plants and flowers of the Hibiscus bush are known to cleanse the scalp and hair. For as long as they can remember the people of India and Indonesia have been using the cleansing properties of this bush to treat their hair. They are believed to remove dirt without eliminating the precious oils on your scalp that it actually needs and they soften the hair
What do you need:
1 handful of Hibiscus leaves
Water
How to do it:
Crush the Hibiscus leaves with your hands or in a mortar. Put these in a pot and just about cover them with water. Boil it for 20 minutes while stirring it every 5 minutes. When it is done pour everything through a strainer and let it cool down
Massage it into your hair and scalp as you would with a shampoo, this will form a very nice and non-drying lather. Rinse it and condition
Yucca root homemade shampoo
Yucca root contains high concentrations of saponins. These natural compounds foam and clean deeply when lathered on your hair. For Native Americans from the Southwest for centuries yucca root has been the main ingredient in their natural hair care recipes. It is their answer to soapwort, which was used for the same reasons in natural hair care recipes across Europe and Asia
What do you need:
¼ cup dried Yucca root
1 cup distilled Water
How to do it:
Bring the water to a boil in a pot add the dried yucca root and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Let it cool down and then strain it
This will make a non-lathering and non-drying homemade shampoo
Tropical Surprise homemade shampoo
A tropical surprise shampoo recipe with coconut and vanilla. Makes for a wonderfully fragrant shampoo, which turns into a thick sort of gel that is easy to apply
What do you need:
¾ cup distilled Water
½ cup unscented Shampoo base
1 ½ teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Coconut oil
2 teaspoons Jojoba oil
10 drops Vanilla fragrance oil
10 drops Coconut fragrance oil
How to do it:
Bring the water to a boil, let it cool down a few minutes and pour it in a ceramic bowl. Pour the shampoo base in the water and stir gently with a whisk. Then mix in the Coconut oil, Jojoba oil, salt and the fragrance oils. Keep stirring until you get a smooth, thick liquid
Pour it into a plastic squeeze bottle that can be closed and here you go, your own personal natural shampoo.
Soapworth homemade shampoo
Soapwort, or at least the soapwort root, is known in the natural hair care universe for its gentle cleansing abilities. Like the yucca root, soapwort root contains a high concentration of saponins. This will give you that gentle foamy cleansing action that can be used as a sort of wash-all
What do you need:
2 cups Water
1 ½ tablespoon dried & chopped Soapwort root
2 teaspoons Lemon Verbena
How to do it:
Put the water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Add the dried soapwort, gently stir, cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Take it from the heat source and add the Lemon Verbena, let it steep and cool down
When cooled down pour it through a strainer. Pour the liquid into a squeeze bottle (or any bottle, but squeeze bottles make for more foamy fun)
This should get you about 6 or 7 wonderfully sudsy shampoos. If you store it in a dark, cool place after using it, you can keep it for a maximum of 10 days

Whatever is left of your egg shampoo can be kept only until the next day if you keep it sealed in your fridge
Dandruff homemade shampoo
Many people are looking for dandruff shampoo recipes these days. Is it because they had enough of those incredibly silly overdone anti-dandruff commercials? ;-) Who knows? Anyway, natural homemade hair products can be just as effective or even better than the commercial ones
What do you need:
¼ cup distilled Water
¼ cup liquid Castile soap (any other unscented liquid olive oil soap will work as well)
½ teaspoon light vegetable oil (think grape seed, avocado, jojoba oil etc.)
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
3 tablespoons Apple juice
6 Cloves
How to do it:
Ground the cloves to a fine powder in a mortar (if too complicated take the equivalent amount of ground cloves.) Put all ingredients in a blender and gently blend until you have an even and smooth consistency (use the lowest speed)
Now it’s ready to use. Massage the mixture into your wet hair and scalp. Leave it in for 2 minutes and rinse with warm water
