How To Make Homemade Liquid Shampoo

The easiest way to make a homemade liquid shampoo is by using pure and natural liquid castile soap as the base.

If you want a pre-scented shampoo, look for castile soaps scented with only pure essential oils.

Opt for a fragrance-free soap if you want to add your own essential oils and herbs.

You can reuse an old shampoo bottle or look for various reusable options online. 1 1/2 cup water (filtered or distilled recommended) 1/2 cup liquid castile soap 1-3 teaspoons olive oil, almond oil, argan, castor, or avocado oil (coconut oil is also lovely, but it will solidify if not kept warm) Add more oil for dry hair, and less for oily hair Optional ingredients: 1-3 teaspoons baking soda or natural clay (for oily hair or for a clarifying-style shampoo) 2-3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar (for added shine and volume)
