4 natural shampoos you can make at home

1. Aloe Vera Shampoo

This recipe will help you make a solid aloe vera shampoo. It may look different, but it has all the benefits of aloe vera, which is very good for you. You will need the following to make this natural shampoo:

Once you have all the ingredients ready, you can start making the shampoo:

• Then transfer the mixture to a bain marie.
• Then finely chop the glycerine soap. When the bain marie is hot, add the chopped soap.

• Also add the lemon juice and almond extract.
• When everything has melted, pour the mixture into a mold and let it harden.
• Cut it into rectangles and wrap in wax paper.

Usage

You should use the shampoo one to three times a week.
