DIY Moisturizing Shampoo (Great for curly hair!)There is something so empowering about taking matters into your own hands and creating a product or outcome that you love. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had the hardest time finding a shampoo suits me.
Shampoos are usually too drying for my frizz happy curly hair and I rarely enjoy the perfume smell or the way they feel (I love a good scalp tingle).
That was until I decided to make my own.
After trial after trial and (I’ll admit it) error after error, I found a recipe I love.
All natural and pleasingly free of sulfates, parabens, synthetic fragrances and dyes, this shampoo is light, moisture rich and refreshes the scalp with an invigorating tingle.
In the mood to experiment?
Try this fantastically fabulous DIY Moisturizing Shampoo!
Here’s what you’ll need:

½ cup coconut milk
½ cup castile soap base (liquid black soap works well too, but I prefer Dr. Bronner’s Unscented baby-mild)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
½ teaspoon vitamin E oil
10 drops peppermint essential oil
20 drops tea tree essential oil
Here’s what to do:
In a plastic pump bottle, combine your ingredients and give the bottle a good swirl.
Place your bottle in your shower and enjoy the next time you wash your hair.
It is that simple. Just as nature intended!
