"If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive."~ Dale Carnegie
We all have hair -- some more, some less. (Some of us even have it where we don't want it!)

Fine, medium, coarse, light blonde, copper-brown, honey-red, ginger-twist, sun-kissed, winter wheat or ash -- no matter, it's all hair. And maybe that color is even naturally yours (yeah, right!), or maybe you've just paid a small fortune for it. The possibilities are as limitless as the hairs on your head, all 120,000 of them (for those of you who still have a full head of it or have had a head-full woven in, giving you 240,000 perhaps!!??).

3 Ways to Make Your Own Shampoo
3 Ways to Make Your Own Shampoo
Don't waste money and packaging on shampoo. You can make shampoo yourself

You can make your own shampoo, but you can't make shampoo any less funny as a word. It strikes me as the kind of word that stands in for a swear word like darn or Fuddruckers. What were they thinking when they came up with that word?
Shampoo, apparently, comes from the Hindi language. This information isn't funny at all. It is, in fact, quite dry. Your hair won't be dry if you wash it, and you'll need shampoo to do so. You can make your shampoo and cut down on packaging waste and possible water contamination. Here is how.
This first recipe comes from Rudy Silvia a nutrition consultant with a degree in physics.
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
½oz 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
Here's another recipe. This one is from Karis Welty.
Herbal Homemade Shampoo
1/4 cup of your favorite herbal tea, strongly brewed
8 oz liquid castile soap
Add soap to tea. Stir over low heat until well blended. Store in a capped bottle.
And for those of you who want to save water. Here is a recipe for a dry shampoo. This recipe comes from Carefair:
Combine ½ cup of cornmeal and ½ cup of almond meal. Apply to hair dry.
