Homemade And Natural Shampoo Recipes

As your scalp adjusts to this new situation, you may notice excess dandruff during the first few days.

Unfortunately, not all beauty products are good for the body. This is because certain chemical compounds can cause damage. Have you ever tried making your own homemade shampoos?

For example, if our skin is very sensitive, beauty products can cause irritation, inflammation, redness, etc.

When it comes to homemade shampoos, you have to be very careful, because the scalp is as delicate, if not more, than the skin of the face. In addition, it is constantly exposed to many harmful agents!

What you need to know about organic homemade shampoos

First of all, we must first remember what the very purpose of shampoo is: to clean our hair and eliminate dandruff, grease, etc.

We can also say that the shampoo should also serve to strengthen the natural qualities of the hair and scalp. However, this does not necessarily happen all the time. Why ? Because the chemical compounds that make up some shampoo do not allow it, quite the contrary!

Have you ever noticed that when you stop shampooing, dandruff comes back? Or as soon as you stop the masks, your hair becomes greasy and dull again?

According to specialists, this may be due to the ingredients that make up the shampoo. In fact, they do not “attack” the problem, but cover it up for a while.

To be able to enjoy healthy hair all year round, there is an excellent solution: create our own cosmetics, such as shampoo! With natural ingredients, we can succeed in making organic products such as homemade shampoos that will neither harm our hair nor our skin.

In addition, you are doing a good deed for the environment, since you do not throw chemicals!

Some tips when washing your hair 

  • You must wash your hair alternately (one day yes, one day no).
  • Do not use too much product, it is better to pour a little in your hand and then spread.
  • Take the opportunity to give your scalp a little massage: do it when you apply the shampoo.
  • Do not use water that is too hot. As soon as you are finished, the last rinse should be done with cold water.
