Herbal Shampoo with Pine and Grapefruit
October 14, 2008This is a traditional herbal shampoo with the added zing of pine and grapefruit. Lavender and rosemary are often used in shampoos. Lavender calms and soothes the scalp, and rosemary and pine are stimulating, helping bring blood, which is rich in nutrients, to the scalp. Grapefruit has a tonic effect on the skin and scalp and the delightful smell makes a welcome addition to this shampoo. Herbal shampoo is particularly recommended for oily hair but is suitable for all hair types.
What’s in it?
6 1/2 tbsp (100ml) shampoo base
10 drops lavender
10 drops rosemary
5 drops pine
5 drops grapefruit
This shampoo sounds interesting, but won’t the grapefruit be too acid for the scalp? I used Burts Bee shampoo a while ago and had a really weird reaction on be the back of my neck, a big itchy rash; and Burts Bees was supposed to be natural; but I might try your recipe too.
