Moisturizing DIY PH Balanced Shampoo
Ingredients
- 1 can full fat coconut milk - ph 6.1-7.0 (coconut milk can about 13.5 oz)
- 2 Tbsp liquid raw honey - ph 3.9
- 1 tsp jojoba oil - ph 4.21
- 1 tsp castor oil - ph 4.65
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar - ph 3.1
- 1 tsp essential oils of choice: lavender, cedarwood, rosemary, peppermint, carrot, clary sage and tea tree are all good for hair; find our favorite organic, sustainable essential oils here
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. This will separate some, so shake well before each use.
- To use, massage a small amount on the scalp and use your fingers or a comb to spread through the hair. Leave on for a few minutes before rinsing off.
- If your hair is naturally very oily, you can follow this up with an apple cider vinegar rinse made with ¼ cup apple cider vinegar and ¼ cup purified water.
Notes
How To Store Your DIY Ph Balanced Shampoo
In theory, you can store this DIY Ph balanced shampoo at room temperature, but to be safe I keep it in the fridge. If you want, you can make up a big batch, pour the mixture into ice cube trays, and keep in the freezer for later. It's super easy to thaw out a cube or two every week as needed. My hair is just past my shoulders and I use about 2 teaspoons of shampoo on mine.
