Many people know that shampoo and conditioner can be quite costly. Some would even say that all those chemicals in the store products are even bad for you. After a little internet searching, you might be able to find that perfect homemade shampoo and conditioner recipes.
When you begin searching the internet, you will find hundreds (if not thousands) of recipes for homemade, do-it-yourself shampoo and conditioner. Look at each recipe's ingredients. Most of those ingredients can be found in your kitchen pantry. Because there are so many different variations, it's easy to switch recipes if one doesn't work for you. Some recipes include olive oil, some include apple cider vinegar, and some require coconut oil. Coconut oil and olive oil are a little more expensive than apple cider vinegar. This is all a matter of personal preference.
The cheapest conditioner recipe I found included only 2 ingredients: apple cider vinegar and water. Mix together 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup of water. Appy mixture to hair beginning at the scalp, giving your head a gentle massage with your fingertips. Then apply to the rest of your hair. Let it rest on your hair for a few minutes and rinse very well. I highly suggest only putting cool (or cold) water on your hair. Trust me, cool water will make your hair super shiny. That's it! It will only cost you pennies to try this recipe.
Another recipe I found only included 2-5 tablespoons of warm olive oil to your hair once a month. Rinse thoroughly, and then wash your hair. This strategy is a reverse process (conditioner first, then shampoo), but you only need to do the olive oil treatment once a month.
Find one that you are willing to try and works best for your routine and budget. Stay tuned for my homemade shampoo recipe...
