Homemade shampoo

I found this recipe for homemade shampoo:
1/4 c. liquid castile soap
1/4 c. distilled water
1/2 tsp light vegetable oil such as jojoba or grapeseed

Mix together and place in bottle, shake before using.


I just, just made this about 20 minutes ago and then promptly took a bath to try it out.  I used sweet almond oil instead of the recommended oils because that is what I had on hand.  I also doubled the oil because my hair is usually very dry and takes several days to feel oily.  I used this mixture on skin and hair.  I have to say, it passes the skin test.  The hair test is still in progress, it'll be a few hours before it dries.

Later - Passed the hair test.  Wow!  I did not apply conditioner or gel and yet I got no frizzies.  This was a much better use of the last bit of Dr. Bronner's than the ol' laundry detergent.
