Aromatherapy Shampoo

Get Shimmer and Shine with
Homemade Aromatherapy Shampoos

Using natural ingredients for your hair ensures gentle, revitalizing and restorative treatment for the protection and appearance of your hair. Essential oils can help improve the condition of your hair and scalp by stimulating circulation of your scalp. Aromatherapy hair care treatments can make your hair shiny and healthy looking.

Although commercial aromatherapy shampoo and conditioner flood the market but they probably contain a low levels of low quality essential oils or no pure essential oils at all. In addition, certain ingredients can actually make the conditions of your hair worse, such as drying your hair, can cause dandruff as well as an itchy scalp. Other chemical ingredients can cause hair loss, skin rashes and in some cases severe allergic reactions.

Mixing essential oils with synthetic chemicals can create chemical changes in essential oils, detracting them from therapeutic properties. The best way to assure you're getting the essential oils you want at therapeutic levels is by making your own treatments.

The following are general guidelines to use for making your own aromatherapy shampoo:

To make a 8 ounces of shampoo, you will need:

• 1/2 cup of spring water
• 1/2 cup of castile liquid soap
• 1 tbsp light carrier oil, such as: coconut, jojoba, hemp or oilve oil (omit if you have very oily hair.)
• A Blend of essential oils according to your hair type.

Mix together all ingredients. Pour the shampoo into a clean squeeze bottle or empty shampoo bottle. Shampoo as you normally would and rinse well with cool water.
