MAKE YOUR OWN COCONUT MILK AND COCONUT MILK SHAMPOO!

Personally, I like this version a LOT better than the first. Unfortunately, the castile “soap” in the first recipe reacts with the minerals in the water we wash our hair with and can form a film or residue. That is why some of us experienced a “coated” feeling on our hair….and why most shampoo is made with “detergents”, because detergent reacts less to minerals in water and doesn’t leave this residue. Of course detergents contain OTHER ingredients that are less than desirable. But that’s another post for another time. :-)

SEMI-HOMEMADE COCONUT MILK SHAMPOO

1/4 cup coconut milk (you can either make your own [see below], or use store-bought)

1/3 cup organic baby shampoo or wash (the closest I could get to organic was Aveeno)

1 tsp vitamin E, olive or almond oil (I used olive oil)

10 to 20 drops of your choice of essential oils (I used my go-to EO…Lavender)
