Wouldn’t it be great to have a shampoo that not only leaves your hair shiny, but also doesn’t harm the environment? Most shampoos available in the market contain harsh chemicals that can damage your hair and have a negative impact on nature in the long run.
But worry not, because we have a solution for you! We bring you a recipe to make your own homemade solid shampoo using aloe vera, a wonderful succulent with numerous benefits. This shampoo is not only natural, but also easy to make!
Ingredients:
- 150 ml of mineral water
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- Aloe vera leaves
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons of almond oil
- 1/2 kg of glycerin
How to Make:
- Start by extracting all the pulp from the aloe vera leaves.
- Once you have the pulp, blend it together with a sprig of rosemary until you get a gel-like consistency. If needed, you can add a little water.
- Grate the glycerin and keep it aside for later use.
- In a pot, place the mixture of aloe vera and rosemary and heat it in a double boiler.
- After that, add the grated glycerin to the mixture and stir well. Then, add the lemon juice and almond oil. Continue stirring until you achieve a smooth and consistent mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a container of your choice, which will be the shape of your solid shampoo, and let it solidify.
How to Apply:
Using this homemade solid shampoo is a bit different compared to liquid shampoos. Rub the shampoo between your hands until it foams up and then apply it to your hair. Make sure to thoroughly cover all corners of your scalp for a complete cleansing experience.
After application, let the shampoo rest on your hair for 3 to 5 minutes. This gives time for the ingredients to hydrate and nourish your hair effectively.
Finally, rinse your hair with plenty of water, ensuring that there are no greasy residues left from the shampoo.
With this simple recipe, you can have a natural and effective shampoo that leaves your hair shiny and healthy. Say goodbye to chemical-filled products and embrace the goodness of aloe vera in your hair care routine!
