Things You'll Need:
- 2 oz shampoo concentrate base
- 6 oz distilled water
- ½ tsp of fragrance oil
- ½ tsp of salt premixed and dissolved in a small amount of water
- A metal spoon or wooden spoon only used for mixing shampoo (must never come in contact with food again)
- A metal funnel or plastic one used only for making shampoo (no more food contact)
- 8 oz bottle(s) to store your liquid shampoo in
- A stainless steel or enamel bowl for mixing
- Metal measuring spoons or a plastic set only for measuring shampoo (must never come in contact with food again)
- A small glass for mixing salt and water
-
Step 1
You will need a clean and clutter free workspace to make your liquid shampoo. A kitchen counter or table works perfectly.
-
Step 2
Have all your ingredients and equipment laid out and ready to go.
-
Step 3
Pour out 8 oz of the liquid shampoo base into your mixing bowl. Add your fragrance oil and salt/water mixture to the shampoo base and mix thoroughly.
-
Step 4
Now add your water and continue to mix until all the ingredients are blended.
-
Step 5
Once your mixture is ready, place the funnel in the open mouth of the shampoo bottle and slowly pour the shampoo until the shampoo level is just at the bottom of the bottle’s neck.
-
Step 6
Screw the cap on tightly and your liquid shampoo is ready to use. If making more than one bottle at a time, store the others in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
