Homemade Natural Dandruff Shampoo

We have one family member with eczema on the scalp and one family member with dandruff.  THIS shampoo works well for BOTH.

     Dandruff Shampoo

Combine all ingredients and put in the dispenser of your choice.  I use a pump because it is easier to use in the shower for the boys.  It only takes a small amount, just enough to cover and wash the scalp with.

Poo-Free “Shampoo/Conditioner” (Homemade)

Yes, I have made the plunge into trying to make my own body care products and household cleaners.  I was a little skeptical of some of the recipes wondering how they could possibly work, after all I love my Herbal Essences Shampoos and Conditioners and the thought of giving those up was sad.  BUT after 2 weeks now of using my new “shampoo” and “conditioner” that I made tweaking the recipe I found here, my hair is softer and easier to manage! I love it! So, I thought I would share.  Keep in mind, it is okay to think I’m crazy because well, I thought this was crazy too, but I tried it anyway, I guess because I’m crazy like that. 🙂

SHAMPOO MIX:

• 4 TBS Baking Soda

• 32 oz Water

• 5 drops of Essential Oil (I used lavender)

CONDITIONER MIX:

• 4 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar

• 32 oz Water

• 5-10 drops of Essential Oil (I used lavender)

I put these each in a large spray bottle and I just thoroughly spray in the “shampoo” until my hair is saturated then wash my hair and rinse.  Repeat with the “conditioner”
