Making Your Own Herbal Hair Shampoo

Posted by Kenny On November - 13 - 2008

In 1990 I decided not to use the commercially made shampoos after reading Aubrey Hampton’s book, “Natural Organic Hair and Skin Care.” In this book Aubrey tells you how to read the label on any product that you put on your skin or hair.

Manufacturers are constantly using toxic chemicals in their skin and hair products and disregard their toxic effects on your body. This is easily seen in the list of chemicals that they use. Here are a few of these chemicals found in many product labels:

* propylene glycol or glycol– a petrochemical used because it is cheap

* cetearyl alcohol – emulsifier that can be synthetic or natural

* methylparaben or propylparaben – typical synthetic preservatives

* distearate – this is polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol which are petrochemicals

* isopropyl alcohol – used as a cheap solvent to carry synthetic oils.

Here is a natural shampoo that you can make. This formulation is something that I have been using for many years. First collect the following items:

4 oz of castile soap with any scent is that available – plain, peppermint, eucalyptus.

½ oz of rosemary - stimulates the hair follicles and helps to prevent premature baldness

½ oz of sage – has antioxidants and keeps things from spoiling and is antibacterial

½ oz of nettles – acts as a blood purifier, blood stimulator, contains a large source of nutrients for hair growth

½ of lavender – controls the production of sebaceous gland oil and reduces itchy and flaky scalp conditions

2000 mg of MSM – provides organic sulfur to your scalp, which improves the health and strength of your hair. It also helps to drive herbal nutrient into the skin and follicles where they can do the most good.

one empty 8 oz plastic bottle, or any other empty shampoo or soap bottle.

Mix the herbs in a mason jar, which has a lid. Boil 2 cups of distilled water. Add 3 heaping tablespoons of the mixed herbs into the boiling water. Pull the boiling water and herbs off the stove. Let the herb mixture sit for 30 – 40 minutes. Put the 2000mg of MSM into the herb mixture after 30 minutes of cooling. After 40 minutes and the MSM is melted, strain the herbal mixture into a bowl.

Pour 2 to 2 1/2 oz of strained herbal tea into the 8 oz plastic bottle. Now, pour the 4 oz of castile soap into the 8 oz plastic bottle. Cap the bottle and shake to mix the ingredients.

The shampoo is now finished and ready for use. Use this as a base for all of the shampoos you make. You can add different herbs as you learn what these herbs do and how they help your hair. You can vary the ingredients according to your taste. But now you have a shampoo that has no additives that can harm you.

How To Grow Black Hair Long

Posted by Kenny On November - 12 - 2008
In this article I will go over briefly what we as women of color are doing wrong when it comes to growing longer hair and what we can do to change that and actually achieve our dream of having longer hair. I've been using this technique for about 4-5 months and my hair is beyond my shoulders and still growing! Hair Myths and the Truth About Them

  1. Clipping the ends makes the hair growThis myth is one of the oldest and most inaccurate myths I know. Clipping the ends has absolutely nothing to do with hair growth! Your hair is dead, not alive and clipping the ends will not make another strand of hair sprout out like that of a rose bush. Clipping the ends is what keeps us from gaining length. All hair grows an average of 1/2 inch per month so if you keep cutting it every 6 weeks or so your hair will never get longer.
  2. Pills and Greases Help Hair GrowIn all honesty as many greases that are out there claiming to make the hair grow "GUARANTEED" should be out of business because none of these greases or vitamins will ever make your hair grow. Vitamins are beneficial to the body, but they are not going to promote hair growth. Greases will actually stunt your hair growth. About 99.99% of all hair grease contains mineral oil or petroleum. These ingredients actually clog the pores on your scalp and inhibit moisture from absorbing into our already dry hair. DO NOT place anything on your scalp! Your scalp actually produces enough of the needed oil(sebum) to lubricate the scalp efficiently. If anything use a water based, mineral oil/petroleum free, and protein free moisturizer in your hair daily.
  3. Washing the Hair Too Much Dries Out the Natural OilsWashing your hair often does not dry out the hair. Water is moisture so how can that possibly dry out the hair? If anything washing your hair with harsh shampoos is what dries it out. You should use a gentle shampoo that doesn't lather up like dish washing liquid in your hair. The shampoo should be formulated for chemically treated, damaged, dry hair. Lather once and then condition. Black hair should be washed about ever 3 days and no less than once per week.

Now that I've unveiled some of the myths to taking care of our hair I will tell you the basics of how to grow your hair long and gain an average of 6 new inches of beautiful hair in 12 months!

  1. Wash your hair a minimum of once a week and deep condition the hair every time you shampoo. Do not use a blow dryer to dry your hair. Instead allow your hair to air dry or sit under a dome dryer.
  2. Moisturize your hair daily and comb the hair with a wide tooth comb only. NEVER use a brush in your hair ever! It will only rip your hair out and cause major breakage!
  3. Sleep with a satin bonnet, pillow case, or satin scarf at night.
  4. Stop getting your ends clipped to gain length.
