Healthy Hair: Coconut Milk Shampoo

(image credit)

Crazy for coconut? I think it's safe to say that I am and I have no shame in my game! I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest via eatgood4life.com and immediatley I knew I had to try this recipe. My hair really loves coconut milk and I love castile soap for my skin. I keep Dr. Bronner's on DECK!

I am not too sure how my hair is going to like being washed with D.B. soap but I think when I need a GOOD clarifying wash this would be a nice DIY shampoo to try.  Have any of you tried a mixture like this? Would you? What are your thoughts?

Here is the recipe from Eat Good 4 Life:

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup coconut milk

2/3 cup castile soap (I used Dr. Brooner's brand)
30 drops essential oil (I used jasmine)
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil


DIRECTIONS:

Combine all the ingredients in an empty shampoo bottle or jar and shake. I used a funnel to pour ingredients in the empty bottle.
You can keep it in the shower for one to two months. Shake well before each use.

Yep do it i made soap for the first time i melted a portion of ivory and mixed in shea butter from the african shop and then i used peppermint oil and almond oil. I want to try coconut shampoo. Let us know how the db soap is bc i love this soap but the ivory crumbled but it feels great on my skin.

This looks amazing cure. Coconut oil is really good for hair.I have used it and it makes my hair very smooth and shiny and also I used Reloxe to make my hair growth.

I love Dr.Bronner's brand shampoos. It doesnt leave my hair dry feeling at all. I always dilute the soap tho like a 50/50 mixture and it leaves my hair feeling very soft.
