To make your own natural shampoo, you will need to create a shampoo base first:

Ingredients you will need for the shampoo base:

1/4 cup water
1/4 cup castile soap
1/2 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil

This makes 1/2 cup of concentrated shampoo. Mix together all ingredients and place into shampoo bottle.

The next step is to add your own custom essential oils, herbs, or spices. Here are some examples:

1/2 cup shampoo base
2 tablespoons of glycerin
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh lavender
5 drops of lavender essential oil

Mix water and lavender together into a heavy bottom pot and bring to a boil. Let boil gently for at least twenty minutes. Let cool slightly and add basic shampoo mixture and glycerin slowly to herbal mixture. Mix well. Pour shampoo into container and let stand for a few days to allow the mixture to thicken. Use as you would your regular shampoo.

Ingredients for a Pumpkin Pie Shampoo:
