I have been wanting to make my own homemade shampoo for SUCH a long time! I have searched far and wide!
At first I considered the "No 'Poo" method which MANY people swear by...but it just didn't seem like it was for me. So my search continued.
Eventually I found two very similar recipes I liked from Crunchy Better and Wellness Mama.
Both contain what I consider to be the "magic ingredient"....coconut milk! While I didn't MAKE my own coconut milk (I think I will try it next time I make this shampoo), Crunchy Betty has a good tutorial on how to do so.
So here is my version of
Homemade Coconut Milk Shampoo:
1/4 cup coconut milk (Like I said, you can either make your own, or use store-bought)
1/3 cup liquid castile soap (like Dr. Bronner's)
1 tsp vitamin E, olive or almond oil
10 to 20 drops your choice of essential oils (I used lavender. Next time I think I'll do something citrusy just for fun. :-)
Combine all ingredients in a shampoo bottle or jar and shake well to mix. (I bought the squeeze bottles above at the dollar store.)
You can keep it in the shower for up to one month...just shake before use.
Use about a teaspoon every time you shampoo. (I used a little more, but my hair is pretty long right now!)
I loved pretty much everything about this shampoo. It smelled good...it lathered up nicely (which I feel strongly about)...and after washing, rinsing and drying...my hair felt soft and smooth. No fly-aways.
And for those of you looking for something more DEEP CONDITIONING for your hair....here are a couple of recipes I found at Petit Elefant I haven't tried them yet....but plan to.
DIY home made hair mask
3 tablespoons olive oil
Two ingredients. That's it! Spoon 1 tablespoon of honey into a small bowl and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Pop the hair mask into the microwave for about 30 seconds, and then mix it up as well as you can.
Get hair wet, but not dripping, pour the hair mask a little bit at a time onto the ends of your hair, working your way up to the scalp. As soon as you’ve used all the mask and your hair is thoroughly coated, wrap it in a damp warm towel or a shower cap and leave in for 30 minutes. Rinse and shampoo your hair like usual.
natural deep hair conditioner
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Mix all that up, comb it through your hair and cover with a shower cap for about 20 minutes while it penetrates deep into your hair follicles. Rinse the conditioner out with tepid water. Shampoo, rinse, and you’re all set.
Brewing up some awesome natural hair care recipes is today's.....
Omg, I love all of your ideas, but this one is amazing! I am sooo doing this tomorrow. Now my question, did you use the regular or lite coconut milk? I have both on hand and wondered if it makes a difference? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI second Anon's question...does the type of coconut milk matter? Also, where did you get your castile? I have never looked for it at the store, can I find it there?
ReplyDeleteTHANKS! This recipe looks awesome!
I found some at Walgreens but it is pricey there about $15 for a bottle found for around $7 or so online. Walmart doesn't have it.
DeleteFound you on Pinterest...LOVE your site!
ReplyDeleteIs this good for someone with oily hair...I have to wash my hair every day? Thanks you in advance.
Score another one for Jill! Oh how I love this blog and all your fabulous ideas. You are now my "go to girl". So far from your site, I've made body wash, laundry detergent, miracle cleaner, scum buster, yellow stain remover, clorox wipes, and can't wait to try the shampoo! For the above posters, I found Castile soap at GNC. Keep up the good work Jill! You are inspiring me to start my own blog :)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog the other day through my sister's pinterest. I'm in LOVE! So many intersting things you've figured out how to make. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteFor the person looking for castille soap. A friend found a limited selection of Dr. Bonner's organic soaps(pictured) at Target recently, many health food stores carry them, and some online drug stores will ship them to you. Just descovered them last year and really like their products.
Am I understanding correctly that you did not use a separate conditioner afterward? I always have to use one but if the milk takes the place of it, then cha-ching! money saver!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am so excited to try this! I've desperately tried to go "no 'poo", but sadly haven't been able to get it to work for my hair. I've been searching for alternative natural ways to clean my hair but haven't found anything I've really loved. I can't wait to give this shampoo a try - I already have all the ingredients so I'm going to go mix some up right now!
ReplyDeleteTell me about that "castile" stuff. can I buy it in canada?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Do you have any notion of the cost per cup, etc? Just curious :)
ReplyDeleteI use Dr. Bronner's castille soap all the time, It is in the natural section of the regular market, or @ whole foods, or something similar. I have actually used it on my hair if i need to strip off too much product. but this sounds way better. can I use scented soap and not have to worry about the scented oil? just wondering, since i think the bronner's i have now is peppermint and would be great for shampoo.
ReplyDeleteI have been able to find castile soap at our local grocery store...but you can also find at probably any health food store. Always on Amazon too. :-)
ReplyDeleteKathy in STL...I used a tiny bit of conditioner on the ends of my hair after using the shampoo...mainly because my hair is pretty long and it tends to tangle up. But honestly, I don't think you need conditioner with this.
Rachel...OK...you asked for it. I'm going to ATTEMPT to do math here. You might want to stand back...it could get messy! :-)
14 oz. can of coconut milk = $2.50 or .18 cents per ounce
1/4 cup = 2 oz = .32 cents
32 oz. castile soap = $15.00 or .47 cents per ounce
1/3 cup = 2.6 oz = $1.22
Total (without oils) = $1.52 for approximately 4 ounces. However, once you shake it up...it increases in volume and filled my 8 ounce squeeze bottle.
I HOPE this helps!
This is a great idea. I wanna try this. I stopped using anything with coconut milk because I remembered using them when I was a kid and after exposure to the sun, it didn't smell good. But since you said this combination smelled good, I would give it a try :) Thanks.
ReplyDeletePeggy...good idea! Yes, using a scented version of the castile soap would eliminate the need for any added scent from the essential oils. :-) Thanks for sharing that!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog after seeing a pin on someone's Pinterest this morning. I have spent several hours looking at your posts and the reviews & comments. I have added your blog to my daily blog checks. I have also repinned several of your posts just because they look interesting. And I am about to make the homemade "shout" because I have everything on hand and have several items that will be a true test. Thanks for your research and willingness to share.
ReplyDeleteFor those wondering about conditioner, a natural alternative is apple cider vinegar. Dilute 1 tablespoon ACV in about 2 cups of water and poor over hair. Rinse or don't rinse, your choice. Don't worry, after your hair dries you will not smell the vinegar. After all, if you're going to the effort of making a healthy, natural shampoo, why add chemicals back in with conditioner?
ReplyDeleteI follow Crunchy Betty's blog and have to tell you that making coconut milk is WAY easy and SUPER CHEAP!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just made coconut milk last night and it was so easy and I bought a bag that would make 5 batches of milk (4 cups each), for the same price I would pay for a 4-cup box of coconut milk! Talk about buy 1 get 4 free!
Try it, it's SO EASY!! :-) And I had made it not only to eat w/cereal etc., but also because I just did my last shampoo and am switching over to the sorta 'poo method with the basic recipe you used today! I love it! Peas in a pod we are...
It says it keeps for a month, I don't see how! Coconut milk will go bad a stink to high heaven if it is left out at room temp. I had the displeasure of experiencing this after doing a hair mask with it, putting my left overs In a ziplock and stored it under sink. A couple days later it smelled like something died in there.
ReplyDeleteFor a nice conditioning shine, I use walnut oil or olive oil and just rub gently into my hair, starting with the fried ends and just leave it in there (for most of the day if I can) then rinse with a very small amount of gentle shampoo. I've also tried using my hair-blower for a little bit of a "hot oil" treatment - just don't cook your hair. Got this from an ayrvedic beauty book.
ReplyDeleteI froze the left over coconut milk in an icecube tray and can use the squares when I'm ready for more shampoo or a Pina Colada....
ReplyDeleteAny idea on how this does on color treated hair?
ReplyDeleteTo LauraS,
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that it keeps for about a month because she is adding the lavender EO. Remember, essential oils are not just about fragrance. Lavender in particular is anti-bacterial. My guess is that it prevents spoilage for a while.
Natasha D., YES, we can buy Castile soap in Canada. I have seen Dr. Bronner's (LOVE!) and something called Val's (never tried) at lots of stores. I don't know what part of Canada you're from as many of our Canadian stores are pretty regional; I'm from western Canada and have seen both above brands at: Superstore, Save-On-Foods, Nutters, Planet Organic, etc. Any "natural" or "health" store should carry it for sure, and I often see it in the organics/natural section of any supermarket. People have been making Castile soap for about 600 years. It takes its name from a region in northern Spain. The idea behind Castile soap is simple: every soap needs some sort of fat to make it sudsy. Conventional soaps are made with animal fats but Castile soap is made from plant "fats" such as olive oil or hemp-seed oil. Plant oils are much less harsh and drying on the skin than animal fats, so you'll find Castile soap very moisturizing and luxurious. I made the switch over a year ago and never looked back.
ReplyDeleteWondering for the coconut milk shampoo do you use coconut milk from a can, carton, on the shelf or in the dairy section? All these things I am sure are important when making homemade products!
ReplyDeleteI have recently been using Wen, the stuff on the infomercial. So far it's amazing. The first three ingredients are water, aloe vera gel, and glycerin. My only complaint is it's REALLY expensive. I am going to try this recipe. Do you think you could attempt an at-home version of the Wen?
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I do the no-poo method, but I am getting a little bored with it. I would love something fresh-smelling (like coconut!) for summertime. My only concern is the Castille soap. I had tried using just Castille soap (Dr. Bronner's) as a shampoo and it made my hair incredibly oily, while it is normally balanced and normal and healthy, maybe a little bit on the dry side.
ReplyDeleteHow long can you go with this shampoo without having to wash again? I try to get as many days (about 3 or 4) without shampooing to preserve the colour of my hair.
I'm going to try this! I think I'll mix a smaller batch to test it out first.
ReplyDelete@Natasha... if you're from Ontario... you can buy Dr. Bonner's at S&H Health Food Stores and Zehrs/Superstores carry it in their natural health aisles. Also, try GNC.... I use Dr. Bonner's bar soaps, water and vegetable glycerine to make liquid hand soap - GREAT money saver! And as a laundry treat, I sub Dr. Bonner's Bars for my regular soap flakes in my laundry detergent recipe.
ReplyDelete@ Jill... I have been "No Poo" for about 2 years (due to allergic reactions to chemicals - if anyone suffers from chronic scalp itch or breakouts on the back of the neck and upper back area, chances are it's from the chemicals in your hair products) I just use all natural goat milk soap or any other naturally made (meaning no presevatives or chemically manufactured scents) unscented bar soap and rinse/condition with organic apple cider vinegar (organic apple cider vinegar, because the stuff you buy in the grocery store is chemically processed which also alters it's healthful properties)... my hair, scalp and skin have never been happier... I no longer leave the house with hives from face to chest!
I am in love with trying to find great alternatives to chemically laced/enhanced home products... Your blog is a fantastic resource! THANKS!!!!
Love this! Your blog is such an awesome resource! Thanks for the info and great tips.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful recipe! I have used Dr Bronner's tea tree soap for years (I live in Canada, buy it at the health food store), and I normally dilute it with water because it is drying. Mixing it with coconut milk and almond oil = brilliance! This is not just shampoo, I used it from head to toe and its lovely. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteMade this tonight and will let you know how we liked it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI opened a can of coconut milk and it was thick all the way down .Is this how it is suppossed to be?
ReplyDeletemine was too. But when I mixed it it blended well. JUST now used it. Hair is wet but I will report tomorrow.
DeleteI will definitely try this idea! I have been putting coconut oil on my hair while it is still wet and using no other styling aids and I love it!
ReplyDeleteIn Canada you can also order Dr. Bronner's from
ReplyDeletewww.well.ca
and as a bonus, there are no shipping fees!
Also curious about color treated hair. Any answer on this?
ReplyDeleteDoes this need to be pure Castile soap? I only see pre-scented stuff on the well.ca website (eucalyptus, tea tree, etc) made by Dr Bronners.
ReplyDeleteJust finished making this can't wait for my shower tonight! I used Dr. Bronner's almond castile with vanilla essential oil. My hubby loves all things almond so possibly I can get him on board!
ReplyDeleteI found the cheapest castile soap at Kroger in their organic and health food section. ALL KINDS of all natural cleaners and soaps!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I just want to caution you that citrus oils are very harsh. I would not use them in shampoo. Orange oil will strip paint. Lavender is much milder and I was told by an excellent aromatherapist one of the few essential oils you can put directly on your skin uncut. I think rose oil would be neat with the coconut for a change up.
ReplyDeleteHi, I recently tried the coconut milk shampoo. I love your recipes and site. But this leaves my hair looking dull and dirty feeling. Is this something that will go away?
ReplyDeleteJust made this, after two trips to the store. Coconut milk beverage and coconut milk are NOT the same thing... On the bright side I now have coconut milk beverage for my morning protein shake... I;m thinking just add pineapple and I'm set!
ReplyDeleteMy 9 yr old is as excited to try it as I am. :)
Hmmm... This didnt work for me. My hair came out oily and gross. Same way as when i tried no poo method. Any suggestions to fix this? I rinsed with acv, and even added some baking soda to the shampoo thinking it was the hard water, but got the same results. Any tips ladies?
ReplyDeletei couldn't find the liquid castille soap anywhere (4 stores) so I bought a bar and tried to melt some for the required amount. I mixed in a little bit more of the coconut milk and poured in a bottle. Shook many times very well. Seemed to be the correct consistency. Then I went to wash my hair. It smelled ok but it was thick like paste so I added water. It didn't lather my hair at all. It feels like there is a coating on my hair still even though I rinsed it thoroughly. Not sure if I am gonna find the liquid castille. Maybe it would change the outcome a bunch? Jill M
ReplyDeletemy hair was really oily after using this i dont know if i just used to much vitamin e or what but im goin to get it another try and not put any vitamin e in it this time. my hair is extermly oily anyways was i think the oil that is in the castile soap is enough already.
ReplyDeletei posted above sorry i should have put a name. anyways i just washed my hair in vinegar to get the oil out i added vinegar to my second bottle of this shampoo i made maybe itll cut down some of the oil. im going to try in tomorrow so ill update yall to see what it turned out like.
ReplyDelete~chanda
I tried this no poo. It did not work on my long colored hair. I thought it was going to but when I got up in the am, my long hair hung in lumps. It was awful. So I washed it out with my normal shmpoo and conditioner. BUT it did condition my hair. Also, I tried the no poo as body wash and LOVE IT! So SCORE! I had already froze the left over coconut milk in 1/4 cup increments in baggies.. so I'm set for quite awhile! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it didn't work for me, either. I have long hair, and I used this, and it made my hair an oily lump. I ended up shampooing it with regular shampoo twice to get out the oily feeling.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I made sure I used coconut milk.
I am wondering if mixing the coconut milk with regular shampoo rather than the castile soap would make a difference?
On a side note, it would probably make a great conditioner, as when I was younger, my brother, who was a hair stylist, gave me a great recipe: Buy a bottle of inexpensive conditioner. Pour out a bit to make room for sahking. Add 1 tsp. of olive oil per 8 oz. (so 1-1/2 teaspoons for a 12 oz. bottle). Shake for about a minute.
Lave this mixture in the shower, and 2-3 times a week, shampoo and use this conditioner. Let sit for about 3-5 minutes then rinse out. Be sure to blow dry. This makes the hair smooth and shiny.
I would bet coconut milk would be excellent if it were used in this same way and in the same ratio.
Thanks for all your great ideas. I'm sorry this one didn't work so well.
Michelle
P.S. If you are looking for a great place to buy the basic ingredients for many of these things, like Bronner's castille soap, citric acid, glycerine, etc., check out soap.com. You can get a 16 oz. bottle of castille soap for $10.99, and if you spend more than $25.00, you get free shipping.
ReplyDeleteMichelle
Ok same for me, very oily can't skip a day washing :(. I tripled the recipe as I wanted to use as body wash as well. I was thinking maybe too much vitamin e?
ReplyDeleteI just used this tonight and so far so good. I'm curious if I need to keep this in the fridge? The can of coconut milk said refridgerate after opening. I also took a look at Crunchy Betty's site and she said to make it in single use because of the coconut spoiling. I did add the lavender EO like you suggested.
ReplyDeleteI checked crunchy Betty as well and I will continue trying this but use the acv rinse as well.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Vit E is used as a preservative - so maybe thats why you can make it and leave it for a while.. and it is not like this recipe makes a ton- But I also use more than 1tbs- my hair is long and thick.. for me it would be maybe 4 shampoos- so about 2 weeks worth for me.
ReplyDeleteWondering if I did something wrong. Mine came out very liquidy like water. Love the smell and it cleans well. It pours like water though. Any suggestions.
ReplyDeleteHey Doll:
ReplyDeleteI just love your all your posts...It's like you read my mind about what I want to know about or try.
Keep up the great job.
love, love love
Great concept, but didn't exactly work on my hair like I thought. I have fine hair, and maybe it's too porous. Or maybe I should try a lighter oil like Argan (I used straight Vitamin E, which is THICK). My hair came out, well, sticky. Once dry, it looked like I had put mousse in and scrunched it (which I hadn't). This is not totally unwelcome, as I sometimes do scrunch my hair. So maybe I'll use this on those days instead of $20 DevaCurl :) Anyway, without adjusting it to rinse cleaner, I can't use this as my regular shampoo. But I'm going to try it with a lighter oil next time and see what happens. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I love your blog!!!
ReplyDeleteSecond of all OMG HELP ME. I just made a batch and used it for the first time (first sign something went awry, I had to use practically half the batch to get a decent lather and get all of my hair, 1 teaspoon was like seriously not even close to enough), and my hair is like it's coated in wax! It's dried but in clumps, almost like dreadlocks! The only thing I varied was I used jojoba oil instead of the other kind, and the only reason I did this is because I was all set to make another recipe (http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Shampoo/) which is just castile, jojoba and water. I figured hey it's basically the same except instead of water it's coconut milk. Is the oil seriously making this happen? What is going on!!?? I must have done something very wrong. Even though everyone's hair is different, there's no way this is normal. What did I do?
This one was a no go for me. I was super excited to try, but no bueno. I used the remainder as body wash. I followed the instructions to the letter, so???. But I must say I love everythinv else one this blog.
ReplyDeleteI think for a lot of people that are finding this leaving your hair oily, you are experiencing what most people who go no poo experience at the beginning. You are stuck in the cycle of stripping your hair with shampoo, and your body responding by producing more oil to replace it. If you could survive using this for a week or two, the oily would probably go away. Easier said than done, I know. But I just wanted you to know that this is a normal reaction. It takes a bit for your body to realize that you aren't stripping all the natural, healthy oils off of your scalp on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone interested in finding cheap essential oils, regular oils, lavender flowers, chamomile flowers, etc....I have found that vitacost.com is the place to go (for what I need anyway) It is much cheaper than I find at stores and even online. I have a referral code that will get you $10 off. It is free shipping on orders of $49 or more; otherwise, the shipping is just $4.99. (I always find at least $49 of stuff I need) Hope this helps someone :) they have castile soap pretty cheap there as well (dr. woods brand is about half the price of Dr. bronners)

Castille soap will make your hair feel funny. I have tried it by itself before. Still have a big bottle. I think I will use shampoo instead of castille, then c. milk and oil with it. It will definately make the shampoo go further and add all the other good stuff to my hair.
ReplyDeleteGreat site.
Cheryl
I am getting the distinct impression this particular recipe needs to be re-worked BIG TIME! lol. I am going to work on that.
ReplyDeleteCheryl...I think you're on to something there!
I made some last night and used it this morning. It was very heavy and oily feeling and I had a very hard time styling my hair. By the end of the day it looked like I hadn't washed it in a week. I do not have oily hair normally. I won't be shampooing with it again. But....I will use it for a Body Wash, I used the Peppermint Castile and I love the feeling of it on my skin :)
ReplyDeleteI have remade this shampoo but used 1/4 castille soap maybe and bit less, 1/3 coconut milk to a 1/2 cup, about a 1/2 cup or a little more garnier fructis biodegradable shampoo and half tsp of vitamin e. I love it now no nasty feeling. and i use apple cider vinger to rinse with:)
ReplyDelete~chanda
Trying this today...thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis did not work for me either and it's not because of first time no-pooing either. I usually only wash my hair once a week, so I'm use to it being a little greasy now and then but this was ridiculous! I used this shampoo and my hair "dried" into one big greasy lump. I had to braid it up because I couldn't go out looking like that. LOL When I took the braid out last night at home, the hair was so oily and sticky that it just stayed in those separated strands like dreads. LOL I also followed this recipe to the letter except I left OUT the vitamin E oil because of reviews of the shampoo being greasy.
ReplyDeleteAlthough- I must agree with another user that this makes an EXCELLENT shaving cream! I didn't even need lotion later. But not a good shampoo for me.
Also- in case it comes up- My hair is medium-long, slightly wavy and usually fairly dry unless it's the fourth or fifth day of not washing.
I just tried this recipe this morning and I love it. I didn't use conditioner. After blow drying, my hair feels soft and smooth. It looks great. It's only been 5 minutes so it could end up oily like some others have said but so far I'm optimistic that this great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think it may be the castile soap that makes the hair feel greasy and such. I have been no poo for a few weeks now with baking soda and ACV rinse and every now and then I want to use something that actually lathers a bit so I use castile soap diluted with ACV rinse. EVERYTIME I do my hair feels limp once I get it dried/styled and feels coated and heavy. I think I'll avoid castile on the hair anymore. Baking soda all the way!
ReplyDeleteI just made some of this and tried it tonight. So far, I love it. My hair is very coarse and thick and has a bad tendency to frizz at the slightest humidity. After using the shampoo, it's soft, manageable and absolutely no frizz. I didn't even have to use any smoothing serum when I dried it. Will be interested to see how it behaves tomorrow based on everyone's comments.
ReplyDeleteI find Castile Soap at Target in the Beauty department. It's usually on the bottom row. They have about 6 different scents. It is not in the shampoo aisle.
ReplyDeleteI also had the result of very oily hair, and I have NEVER struggled with oily hair. Maybe I will try another homemade shampoo with castile soap and see if there is luck there. Perhaps it is the castile . . .
ReplyDeleteThere are several different recipes for using castile soap as a shampoo. I think the thing that people need to remember is it takes time for adjusting. If your scalp is use to chemicals stripping the oil away, it will naturally produce more oils. Also make sure when you mix with water that you are using distilled water in the bottle to prevent bacteria, vitamin E is often used as a preservative in products and yes essential oils can help with that as well. Some good ones for that is lavender & tea tree both of which are easy to find at health food stores. I know from other recipes I tried the castile blend even if using castile soap by itself will cause some of these lumpy oily dreadlock looking clumps in your hair. It's not from the coconut milk. Try decreasing the amount of castile soap.
ReplyDeleteI love your site! I'm an amoratherapist and have my own business as a massage therapist & herbalist. I make my own line of products as well. I think this product is really good with a few tweaks. Thanks for sharing <3

Helpful for product.
ReplyDeleteDr. Bronners Tea Tree Soap
I have been using the shampoo for 4 day's now and love it, because I chose Dr, Bronners soap with almond oil and hemp in it, I left out the vit.E.
ReplyDeleteNever doing anything like this before i was waiting for my hair to squeek when it was rinsed..no squeek, and lovely soft and clean hair!!! I also have started washing my face with it, love the almond coconut smell, and last night i lathered it up on my scrubbie in the shower and used it all over body wash, it was wonderful, fluffy lather and a wonderful rinse and I did not need lotion after, also no bad smell and it is keeping just fine in the shower. Thank you so much for this recipe, it has changed my mind about store bought shampoo, and body washes and that thrills me! warm hugs from Vermont
Hi. Just wanted to comment - I'm from the Philippines where we have always used coconut milk for the hair but not as a shampoo. When I was very young, some of the older ladies in the village would let fresh coconut milk stand for hours (room temperature in a tropical climate) until the oil would separate from the milk. We would use the oil as a pre-treatment to shampoo and only in minimal amounts (like the ends and some drops on the scalp). We leave this treatment on the hair for 30 minutes to an hour; and then we shampoo it off. It's very effective for scalp problems and prevention of falling hair.
ReplyDeleteJust tried this tonight - loved the smell, lots of great lather...however, my hair is now dry and dull, mucky feeling and very static-y. I have fine hair, but lots of it, and it is pretty straight. I will try this again tomorrow with less castile soap - wonder if that will make a difference...
ReplyDelete***FYI - If you live in Canada, you can get Dr. Bronner's soaps at Loblaws, other grocery stores in the health/organic foods sections, or at your local health food store***
