How to Make a Rum and Egg Shampoo for Oily Hair

This is a great, natural recipe for shampoo that will leave your hair squeaky clean. If your hair tends to be oily, this is the shampoo recipe for you. It’s easy to make, inexpensive and environmentally friendly. Add a little pineapple juice and it will also leave you smelling like a Pina Colada.

Things You'll Need

• 3 large eggs
• Bowl
• ¼ cup rum
• ¼ cup rose water
• Beer, vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

1. Beat three large eggs in a bowl.

2. Add ¼ cup of rum and ¼ cup of rose water. Both will act as an astringent to strip excess oils from your hair.

3. Mix, then massage the shampoo into your scalp and hair thoroughly, starting with the scalp area and working your way down to the ends of your hair. For extremely oily hair, leave the shampoo on your scalp area for a minute or two before rinsing.

4. Rinse the shampoo with lemon juice to bring out the natural highlights if you have light hair. For dark hair, rinse with vinegar or beer to strip excess oils and leave a glossy, rich sheen.
