My hair stylist starting making organic beauty products and my girls and I love her Rose Shampoo and Rinse though she doesn’t sell it on her Etsy store, Joli Savons.
I decided to try to make shampoo myself. I found a recipe that was pretty easy and played around with it until it worked for my hair. Instead of two products — shampoo and rinse — I wanted a shampoo that moisterized and volumized with just one product.
This is what I came up with:
DIY Rose Shampoo (Preservative-Free)
2 ounces Dr. Bronner’s Rose Castile Soap
1/2 teaspoon Organic Rose Argan Oil
30 drops Rose Essential Oil
2-3 ounces of water infused with herbs (I used lavender, rose petals, and pineapple mint from my garden for this batch but I also made a mint version when my flowers weren’t in bloom)
You also need:
A jar or container to store the shampoo in. I use a small mason jar but you can use an old shampoo container.
Put two big handfuls of lavender flowers and rose petals in 1 cup of boiling water.
Cover tightly with lid and boil for three or four minutes. Cool and strain. Use 2 ounces of this infused water for the shampoo and discard the rest.
Combine the infused water with the rest of the ingredients. Mix gently and store in the container.
That’s it. It’s pretty easy! I like that this shampoo is easy to make. The shampoo is a little watery, but it lathers up nicely. This DIY shampoo lasts me about 3 weeks and leaves my hair very soft. I would note that it does sting if it gets into your eyes so don’t use for children.
I found all the items at Whole Foods, but they are also on Amazon. To examine, please click on image.
