Homemade shampoo: is it a good idea?
Many people ask why homemade products are better than the ones that we find in stores. When we make a product at home, we know exactly what it contains and if it will affect us in any way, but with the products in the stores we can only guess that from the ingredients written on the label.
The shampoo that you are using now may have dangerous ingredients such as sulfate, parabens, sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate, which affect not only your hair, but also the skin. Keep in mind that we have to take care of your skin and hair in order to feel good and healthy and these products won’t help.
Making your own shampoo at home won’t put your health or your skin in danger. You will know every ingredient that you will be using for creating your shampoo and you will be more careful about what you’re putting in.
How to make your own shampoo
What you will need:
- vinegar
- baking soda
- water
With only 3 ingredients, you will have your own shampoo created at home, without parabens or sulfate. It won’t affect your hair; on the contrary, it will make it stronger and cleaner. If you want to have a better fragrance, you can add essential oils that will make your shampoo smell delicious. You can add peppermint, rosemary or lavender essential oils.
Start by mixing 3 parts of water with one part of baking soda until they are fully incorporated and have a creamy consistence. Apply this mixture on your hair, from the roots to the end and let it rest between 1 and 3 minutes. Mix 4 parts of water with one part of apple vinegar and, if you want, you can add essential oil too. Wash your hair with this mix and after that, rinse your hair with water.
The results will be seen after a while. Your hair will be stronger, cleaner and thicker. Keep in mind that your hair needs to adapt to this new shampoo, so you must have patience for a couple of weeks, but after that, the results will be amazing. So, use only natural ingredients to take care of yourself in order to be healthy and happy, and everyone will notice.
