Most families are starting to think about things that they can cut back on, so that they can save money anywhere they can find it. We have gone to making a lot of our own soaps, shampoos, conditioners and other stuff like that. These are two recipes for shampoo and conditioner that we use in the household and everyone love them.
Chamomile Shampoo
- 1 handful fresh or dried chamomile flowers
- 1 3/4 cup boiling water
- 3 tablespoons pure soap flake, OR save leftover pieces of soap.
- 1 tablespoon glycerin
- 5 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
Place the flowers in a bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let stand for 15 minutes, then strain into the other bowl. Clean the first bowl. Combine the soap and hot infusion in it. Let stand until the soap softens — a few minutes. Beat in the glycerin and food coloring until well blended. Pour the mixture into the bottle. Keep in a cool dark place.
Fruit Conditioner
- 1 avocado (peeled and mashed)
- 1 cup coconut milk
Combine mashed avocado with some coconut milk. Mash together until it’s smooth and about as thick as shampoo. Comb it through the hair and let sit for 10-15 minutes, then wash out.
