Not long ago,I started using chemical-free shampoos. I got my scalp washed away from all the chemicals that commercial shampoos left. It's very disgusting! Normally your scalp should be pink because of the blood circulation, but when they looked at mine with a special camera... Boy! It was as white as paper! All my follicles were clogged up with plastic remnants from the shampoos. Did you know that commercial shampoos contained plastic in them ? Well, I didn't either. They also contain chemicals which were explained in my previous post... This one is about making your own healthy, natural, chemical-free shampoo !
I searched a lot of sites and I found the best to show you guys. Hope you enjoy.
Oh and before I start, your scalp will take some time to adapt to the next shampoo so expect to have a greasy hair for at least 3-4 weeks. My recommendation: start your new shampoo during the summer, march break or summer holidays if you're still at school.
These recipes aren't mine. They're from beautymunsta: a wonderful and natural site !

How to Apply
Start by sectioning your hair and applying the shampoo. You can go from left to right or even start from the middle. The point is to systematically be applying the whole mixture onto your scalp. When your whole scalp is covered, scoop up the remaining mixture and smooth it over the length of your hair. Coating all of you hair isn't necessary. You can finish the bowl by using what's left of it and distribute it in your hair. Now, you may want to let the nourishing nutrients penetrate for about 5-7 minutes. So while you're waiting you can do other things like shave, wash your body or do some squats or something. When the time is up, rinse off thoroughly with warm water first then cold water. Once you're done our scalp will feel clean and soothed and your locks will be silky and shiny.

Wet your hair. Then slowly pour the egg shampoo on your scalp and strands. Then start massaging your scalp and hair. This will loosen dirt and grime. Leave it in for 2 minutes then rinse off thoroughly using tepid water (NOT hot water). Wrap your hair in a fluffy towel. When dry, your hair will smell pleasant and be silky soft!
