Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 Cups of Water
• 1/2 Cup of Baby Shampoo
• 1 Tablespoon of Calendula
• 1 Tablespoon of Rosemary
• 1 Tablespoon of Dried Orange Peel
• 1 Tablespoon of Comfrey
• 1 Tablespoon of Chamomile
• 1 Teaspoon of Jojoba Oil
• 1 Teaspoon of Lemon Balm Oil
• 1 Teaspoon of Lavender Oil

1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot that has a coordinating lid.

2. Once the bubbles begin to roll across the top of the water, remove the pot from the heat.

3. Pour in all of the herbs (do not put in the oil or baby shampoo) and use a spatula or wooden spoon to push everything under the water, making sure none of it is just floating at the top.

4. Put the lid on, and let the mixture steep for 20 minutes.

5. Strain the mixture into a shampoo bottle, and add in the baby shampoo and oils. Shake gently.

6. In between uses, store in the fridge. The mixture will stay fresh for about one month.
