Our Ancestors were well aware of the properties of herbs that give beauty to hair. They did just fine without the chemistry from the bottle.

Modern hair products drain hair. They contain chemicals that damage the hair structure, scalp and health. The task of corporations producing "magic" hair products is to create a constantly growing sales market. And for this all means are good … But these means are not good for us and for our hair. Therefore, the clearer the composition of the shampoo, the better. Choose natural shampoos that contain only natural ingredients. Making your own homemade shampoos is easy enough.

SOUP'S BREW.

Pour 200 g soapwort with two liters of water and boil for half an hour. In this broth, wash your hair without soap and shampoo, rinse with plain water, or even better - with chamomile infusion, if the hair is light, and with a decoction of oak bark - if dark.

SHAMPOO "BREAD".

Take 4-6 slices of black bread (depending on the length of your hair), put in a stack in a container, pour boiling water over and leave overnight.

Or a similar recipe for oily hair: pour boiling water over 150 g of rye bread. Lather your head with gruel, hold for 5-10 minutes. Then rinse hair thoroughly with water. To give them a beautiful shine, they are rinsed with an infusion of birch leaves.

KEFIR SHAMPOO FOR NUTRITION AND HAIR GROWTH

1/2 cup kefir, 2 egg yolks, beat until foamy and wash your hair.

It is very useful to wash your hair with serum.

EGG SHAMPOO

Whisk two egg yolks and mix them with 200 ml of warm water. Apply along the length of hair and then rinse with water.

WASHING HAIR WITH PAIGMA.

Pour 1 tablespoon of tansy with 2 cups of boiling water, leave for 2 hours. With a strained infusion, wash your hair without soap for a month. This remedy is used to eliminate dandruff.

LIQUOR.

Lye is the consistency of ash infused with water. Unlike the various detergents sold in stores, this is a completely natural substance!

Washing hair with ash is one of the ancient remedies used by our great-grandmothers. You can use it on occasion. Dilute a glass of wood ash with water until the consistency of sour cream and apply to wet hair with massaging hand movements. After washing your hair with warm water, rinse it with acidified water.

With a well-diluted lye, you can wash your head and your body.

It is good to use decoctions of herbs as a shampoo: chamomile, calamus, nettle, from burdock and tansy rhizomes. The herbs were poured over with water and boiled for 30-35 minutes, then cooled for about 15 minutes, but not until completely cooled. A warm broth was applied to the head.

MUSTARD SHAMPOO (for oily hair)

Mustard shampoo mask was prepared as follows. They took 1 tbsp. a spoonful of mustard powder was diluted with kefir to the consistency of sour cream. Added 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 yolk. The resulting mixture was used to wash your hair like shampoo.

TOLKAN SHAMPOO

We also used oatmeal shampoo, which was steamed. Then a spoonful of honey and one egg yolk were added to it. It was applied to the hair and washed off after a while.

Pea flour shampoo

Pour the pea flour made with a coffee grinder with warm water. Let it brew overnight. Then apply the gruel to your hair and leave this mask on for thirty minutes. The pea mixture will remove all the dirt and grease from the hair, and after rinsing the mask, you will not need to use shampoo.

SODA SHAMPOO

Place 1 heaping teaspoon of baking soda on a mug of warm water (250 ml).

As soon as you wet your hair with a solution, foam appears. You wash your hair with an “individual” shampoo, then rinse your hair with water.

The composition of the grease is individual for everyone, which means that the composition of the resulting "shampoo" is different for everyone.
