HERBAL SHAMPOOS
A quick herbal shampoo
Pour one application of a mild baby shampoo in to a cap and add 2tbsp (30 ml) of a strong decoction of your selected herb, or 4 drops of essential oil. Mix together and use in the normal manner.
Henna & Egg Shampoo
5 tbsp. natural henna powder
1 egg
1 cup warm water
juice of 1/2 lemon
Prepare a thick paste by mixing the egg and the henna into the warm water. Leave the mixture to set for one hour, then add the lemon juice to fix the colour. Apply gently and thoroughly to hair and scalp. For best results, wait for at least two hours or until completely dry before rinsing out hair with warm water. Note: some people prefer to leave the mixture in overnight, in a hair pack.
This shampoo, used for centuries in India and the Middle East, has now found its way to the West. Natural henna will leave your hair strengthened and shinier, adding a light brown tinge to it. It also acts as a natural coolant for the scalp.
