How do you make homemade shampoo?

To make homemade shampoo, combine 1 tablespoon of raw honey, 3 tablespoons of filtered water and a few drops of essential oil in a bowl. Before mixing, heat the honey in a small pan over low heat to dissolve it.

1. Gather your ingredients

   Get 1 tablespoon of raw honey, 3 tablespoons of filtered water and a few drops of essential oil. The essential oil is optional but adds a light fragrance to the shampoo and helps prevent flaky scalps. Try a lavender or carrot seed oil.

2. Heat the honey over the stove

   Pour 1 tablespoon of raw honey into a small pan, and heat it over very low heat on the stove. Let the heat dissolve the honey until watery.

3. Mix the ingredients together

   Combine the tablespoon of raw honey with 3 tablespoons of filtered water and 2 to 3 drops of essential oil in a bowl. Stir vigorously to ensure all the ingredients mix together. Storing raw honey with water can foster mold growth, so only make the shampoo when you need it. You do not need to pair the shampoo with a conditioner. To apply the shampoo, wet your hair, and massage a few tablespoons of the mixture onto your scalp.
