However, the desire for easy, natural recipes made from ingredients you\u2019ll find in your kitchen, has led to a ton of recipes being shared online that simply won\u2019t work, (and may even do harm to your hair).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article will explain what\u2019s wrong with the most popular types of DIY shampoo recipe and we\u2019ll share what an effective recipe needs instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DIY haircare recipes are commonly based around the following ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Castile soap (eg Dr Bronner\u2019s)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coconut milk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cold process soap bars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baking soda<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only do these recipes not effectively cleanse and protect the hair, (more on that in a minute), there are other dangers associated with using them too. For example, the vast majority of DIY recipes are not preserved or stored correctly, which can lead to bacteria, yeast and mold proliferating in them &#8211; potentially leading to skin and eye infections, thrush, toxic shock and atopic dermatitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/schoolofnaturalskincare.lpages.co\/haircare-prospectus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/richards500.sg-host.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Haircare-Prospectus-Opt-In-Facebook-Post-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/11\/Haircare-Prospectus-Opt-In-Facebook-Post-1024x555.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/11\/Haircare-Prospectus-Opt-In-Facebook-Post-300x163.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/11\/Haircare-Prospectus-Opt-In-Facebook-Post-768x416.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2022\/11\/Haircare-Prospectus-Opt-In-Facebook-Post.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we go any further, let\u2019s look at what an effective shampoo should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cleanse the hair:<\/strong> Shampoo helps to remove dirt and soil from the hair and scalp. Sebum, dust and styling products build up on hair over time, and shampoo is needed to remove them, without being too harsh and removing beneficial lipids on the hair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Close the cuticle:<\/strong> The cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair and resembles roof tiles. If the tiles are nicely closed or laid down, they protect the underneath surface. A good shampoo will make sure that cells of the cuticle are laid flat, thus protecting the underneath layers from damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balance pH of hair:<\/strong> Hair needs a slightly acidic pH in order for the cuticle to be closed down, and to decrease the static electricity which causes tangles and damage to the hair.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we assess whether natural DIY shampoo recipes are any good, we\u2019ll consider if they\u2019ll help with these three things: cleansing the hair, closing the cuticle and balancing the pH level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) <i>Castile soap<\/i> (eg Dr Bronner\u2019s)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/castile-soap.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Five natural shampoo recipes that won\u2019t work (and why!) Haircare Formulation \" class=\"wp-image-123403\" style=\"width:366px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/castile-soap.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/castile-soap-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/castile-soap-150x150.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A huge number of DIY Shampoo recipes use Castile soap as their main ingredient, often combined with aloe vera, carrier oils, and\/or essential oils. We understand why people think they can use it &#8211; it foams, (a little), it cleanses the scalp, it\u2019s easy to get hold of, and it\u2019s naturally derived. It\u2019s a good, basic cleanser for skin. But what about hair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is castile soap a suitable shampoo? Does it cleanse the hair, close the cuticle, and balance the pH?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Castile soap will definitely cleanse the hair, so this task is taken care of. But it won\u2019t do the other two tasks &#8211; the pH of castile soap is very high (or alkaline &#8211; the opposite of acidic), around 9 -10, which is completely unsuitable for hair. When hair is treated with an alkaline product, it will leave the cuticle cells open and prone to damage. Hair with an imbalanced pH will also be a lot more prone to breaking and tangling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s take a <i>closer<\/i> look at a recipe we found that uses it:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>World\u2019s Simplest Homemade Shampoo (that\u2019s perfect for your hair type).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingredients:<br>About \u00be cup liquid castile soap.<br>\u00bc cup aloe vera.<br>1 tsp jojoba oil.<br>\u00bd \u2013 1 tsp sweet almond oil (optional for dry hair).<br>50-60 drops essential oils of your choice (perfect for your hair type).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s <i>wrong<\/i> with this recipe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the major issue with castile soap, as explained above, this shampoo has a number of other issues to note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It does not contain a preservative &#8211; if this mixture is left at room temperature for more than a few days, it is very likely to show microbial growth in it &#8211; yikes!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It mixes oil and water &#8211; two ingredients that are incompatible without a emulsifier or solubilizer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The recipe suggests that adding essential oils will make it \u201cperfect for your hair type\u201d. While altering the essential oils can change the properties of a product a bit, to really adjust the product for your hair type, much more than changing essential oils is needed. You need to consider which cleansing agents to use and the amount needed, and think about which other nurturing ingredients are suitable for that hair type. Also, which type of shampoo should be formulated in the first place?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It uses inconsistent and inaccurate measurements. Drops, cups, teaspoons and such are not a correct measurement for safe and effective cosmetic formulations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) <i>Coconut<\/i> milk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/coconut-milk.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Five natural shampoo recipes that won\u2019t work (and why!)

It is often combined with other ingredients like honey, vinegar, castile soap and carrier oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is coconut milk a suitable shampoo? Does it cleanse the hair, close the cuticle, balance the pH?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coconut milk on its own, (without soap added), will not cleanse the hair. So it fails the first task! The pH of coconut milk is close to neutral (around 6.0-7.0), which is too high for the hair. Coconut milk will provide some vitamins and moisturization to the hair, but it won\u2019t close the cuticle or balance the pH of the hair. Long term use of coconut milk \u2018shampoo\u2019 can actually result in hair damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s take a <i>look<\/i> at this next DIY recipe we found:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Homemade Coconut Milk Shampoo.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingredients:<br>\u00bc cup coconut milk (homemade or canned).<br>1\/4 cup liquid castile soap, like Dr. Bronners.<br>20 drops of essential oils of choice (Peppermint, lavender, rosemary and orange, or a combination of those).<br>For dry hair, add \u00bd tsp olive or almond oil (optional).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(The recipe also says you can keep it in the shower for up to a month).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s <i>wrong<\/i> with this recipe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It uses coconut milk, which will not cleanse, close the cuticle, or balance the pH.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It does not contain a preservative.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The instruction to \u201ckeep in the shower for up to a month\u201d is concerning. An unpreserved product containing fresh ingredients like homemade coconut milk, kept in a warm, humid environment is a recipe for disaster, as coconut milk is full of (yummy) nutrients for microbes!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As with the previous shampoo recipe, it uses inconsistent and inaccurate measurements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is another example of an online recipe with <i>problematic<\/i> areas.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Moisturizing DIY pH Balanced Shampoo.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingredients:<br>1 can full fat coconut milk (about 13.5 oz) \u2013 ph 6.1-7.0<br>2 tbsp liquid raw honey \u2013 ph 3.9<br>1 tsp jojoba oil \u2013 ph 4.21<br>1 tsp castor oil \u2013 ph 4.65<br>2 tbsp apple cider vinegar \u2013 ph 3.1<br>1 tsp essential oils of choice (lavender, cedarwood, rosemary, peppermint, carrot, clary sage and tea tree are all good for hair).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This recipe actually has a fairly <i>good pH<\/i> level that will benefit the hair, but it has so many other things <i>wrong<\/i> with it!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As we mentioned above, coconut milk will not cleanse the hair.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It doesn\u2019t contain a preservative. With ingredients like honey and coconut milk, this is pure heaven for bacteria, yeast and mold to grow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It contains no surfactant or emulsifier to mix the added oils with water, and will therefore leave your hair feeling (and looking) rather oily after using it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Shampoo <i>soap bars<\/i><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/soap-bar.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Five natural shampoo recipes that won\u2019t work (and why!)

Homemade cold process soap can be wonderful for your skin. But is it any good for hair?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are soap bars a suitable shampoo? Do they cleanse the hair, close the cuticle, balance the pH?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soap bars are very similar to liquid castile soap, but they have a solid form. The chemistry behind these two products is the same and they both have a pH which is way too high for the hair. Soap bars will clean the hair effectively, but since they won\u2019t close the cuticle down, or balance the pH of the hair, it will leave the hair dry, tangled and prone to further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here\u2019s an example of an online <i>homemade<\/i> solid shampoo bar recipe:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ingredients:<br>10 oz coconut oil<br>10 oz tallow (or palm oil)<br>10 oz olive oil<br>6 oz castor oil<br>5 oz lye<br>12 oz distilled water<br>1.5 oz essential oils added at trace (0.5 oz each of tea tree, rosemary and peppermint)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is actually a nice recipe for cold process soap, which will make a good soap bar to be used on hands and body, but not on the hair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Baking <i>soda<\/i><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/baking-soda.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Five natural shampoo recipes that won\u2019t work (and why!) Haircare Formulation \" class=\"wp-image-123400\" style=\"width:382px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/baking-soda.jpg.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/baking-soda-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.schoolofnaturalskincare.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2018\/05\/baking-soda-150x150.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another popular category of DIY shampoo uses baking soda as the key ingredient. It\u2019s easy to get hold of, (you probably already have some), and it\u2019s inexpensive. But is baking soda a suitable shampoo? Does it cleanse the hair, close the cuticle, balance the pH?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baking soda can act as a degreaser, so it will remove some of the oils from the hair, but it won\u2019t do it very gently. A solution of baking soda in water has a very high pH, (about 9.5), which is too high for the hair, and can irritate your scalp. It will not close the cuticle, and will eventually leave your hair brittle and prone to breakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We found these instructions for a <i>baking soda<\/i> shampoo:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStart by mixing 1 part baking soda with 3 parts water. I have shoulder length hair and mix about 2 to 3 tablespoon of baking soda with 3 times that amount of water in a small squeeze bottle. You can adjust this depending on your hair length. Apply the baking soda and water mixture to dry or wet hair by starting at the roots and working to the ends. Let it sit for 1 &#8211; 3 minutes, then rinse with warm water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned above, this approach may offer some degreasing, but will also cause damage to the hair. So it is not a good option for a natural shampoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make an <i>effective<\/i> natural DIY shampoo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So as you can see, castile soap, coconut milk, cold process soap and baking soda are not good choices for your DIY shampoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True shampoos that cleanse, close the cuticle and balance the pH, feature one key ingredient type that is missing from all of these DIY recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That ingredient type is surfactants, which are a major group of ingredients, and are not as technical or intimidating as they may sound!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, they can be derived from natural sources such as coconut, sugar and even apples, and many are approved for use in certified organic products.
