Can I use soap as a shampoo if I'm allergic?

Soap will really dry out your hair, and using conditoner will not replace the natural oil that your hair needs to stay healthy.

Here is a natural shampoo that you can make

4 oz of castile soap with any scent is that available – plain, peppermint, eucalyptus.

½ oz of rosemary - stimulates the hair follicles and helps to prevent premature baldness

½ oz of sage – has antioxidants and keeps things from spoiling and is antibacterial

½ oz of nettles – acts as a blood purifier, blood stimulator, contains a large source of nutrients for hair growth

½ of lavender – controls the production of sebaceous gland oil and reduces itchy and flaky scalp conditions

2000 mg of MSM – provides organic sulfur to your scalp, which improves the health and strength of your hair. It also helps to drive herbal nutrient into the skin and follicles where they can do the most good.

One empty 8 oz plastic bottle, or any other empty shampoo or soap bottle.

Mix the herbs in a mason jar, which has a lid. Boil 2 cups of distilled water. Add 3 heaping tablespoons of the mixed herbs into the boiling water. Pull the boiling water and herbs off the stove. Let the herb mixture sit for 30 – 40 minutes. Put the 2000mg of MSM into the herb mixture after 30 minutes of cooling. After 40 minutes and the MSM is melted, strain the herbal mixture into a bowl.

Pour 2 to 2 1/2 oz of strained herbal tea into the 8 oz plastic bottle. Now, pour the 4 oz of castile soap into the 8 oz plastic bottle. Cap the bottle and shake to mix the ingredients.

The shampoo is now finished and ready for use. Use this as a base for all of the shampoos you make. You can add different herbs as you learn what these herbs do and how they help your hair. You can vary the ingredients according to your taste. But now you have a shampoo that has no additives that can harm you.

You can also deep-condition twice a week with this mixture. Deep Conditioner Ingredients: 1 small jar of REAL mayonnaise 1/2 of an avocado Directions: Place both ingredients in a medium bowl and squish together with your fingers until the color is mint green. Apply: Smooth the paste into your hair all the way to the tips. Put on a plastic shower cap and leave on for 20 minutes. For deeper conditioning put a hot, damp towel around your head over the shower cap. If you have really long hair and only need deep conditioning at the ends, cut the ingredients in half and apply only to the ends of your hair. Real mayonnaise is a fantastic conditioner. Although mayonnaise looks a lot like spreadable salad dressing, only real mayonnaise contains the right ingredients for conditioning hair.
