Making your own Organic shampoo.

 

    Making your own shampoo is fun and saves you an abundant amount of money. There are a few methods and items to put in your shampoo depending on your hair type. Did you know that you can add different flowers to bring out the red tones if you are a red head. If you have dry hair there is a homemade shampoo for that minus the chemicals. If you need something for oily hair you can also make something to suit your needs.

  The base of the shampoo generally is grated castile soap, about three tablespoons. The second ingredient is one tablespoon of glycerin. The next base ingredient is five drops of essential oil of your choice. The last base ingredient is a half a cup of distilled water.

 Depending on what kind of hair you want and your goals for your hair.

  Dry or damaged hair ingredients you can use differ. coconut oil, coconut milk, Rose pedals (organic/no sprays) egg. If you use a recipe with egg make sure to store your left over shampoo in the refrigerator.

  Oily hair ingredients also differ, lemon juice, peppermint essential oil, dried mint, rosemary essential oil, cypress, cedar wood, patchouli, lemon grass, Lavender oil.

  Even though homemade shampoo will not lather like an off the shelf shampoo does not mean it is not working, it means it will not leave residue in your hair. Make sure you let the shampoo sit for three minutes before rinsing for best result. Rinse with warm not hot water. Last make sure you use distilled water and not tap water so that you don’t have chemicals in your shampoo.

Recipes to Help You Get Healthy in a Hurry

• Quick Weeknight Dinners for $3 or Less
• 28 Days of Skinny Dinners
• Bite-Size Cookies, Bars & Brownies

ingredients

• 3 large egg whites, at room temperature (see Tip)
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish (optional)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

directions

1. Separate one egg at a time into a small bowl, letting the white fall into the bowl and discarding the yolk. If there’s any trace of yolk in the white, discard the white and start over. If it’s yolk-free, transfer to a clean medium mixing bowl. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs.
2. Add cream of tartar to the whites and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until all the sugar has been added. Continue beating until the whites are stiff and glossy. Add vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more. Sift 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and cinnamon over the meringue. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold them in along with the chocolate chips until combined; do not overmix.
3. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 200°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place a small amount of the meringue under each corner of the paper to secure it to the pan. Fill a 1-quart sealable plastic bag (or pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip) with the meringue. Seal the bag almost completely, leaving a small opening for air to escape from the top as you squeeze. Snip off one corner of the bag with scissors, making a 3/4-inch-wide opening. Fold the top of the bag over a few times, then gently push the meringue down to the snipped corner. Working with the bag perpendicular to the baking sheet, pipe the meringue into 1 1/2-inch-diameter cookies, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart.
4. Bake the cookies until dry and crisp throughout, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer the pans to wire racks and let the cookies cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Sift 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder over the baked meringues for garnish, if desired.
5. Tip: To get the most volume from beaten egg whites, it’s best to start with whites at room temperature. Submerge them in their shells in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for about 5 minutes before using.
