Let’s get right onto the recipe now, shall we?

Homemade Shampoo for Oily Hair

What you Need

• 2.5 tbsp bentonite clay (where to get it)
• 1 tbsp liquid castile soap (where to get it)
• 2 tbsp rose water (where to get it)
• 5 drops rosemary essential oil (where to get it)
• 7 drops tea tree essential oil (where to get it)
• Non-reactive (non-metal) bowl & whisk

Directions

1. Into a non-reactive bowl, dump in your bentonite clay. What I mean by non-reactive is a non-metal bowl: use plastic, wooden or ceramic bowl because metal reacts with the clay and renders it ineffective.
2. Now add your rose water and slowly whisk it up until your form a smooth lump-less paste.
3. Next add the liquid castile soap and mix it in too.
4. Lastly, add the rosemary and tea tree essential oils and mix until everything is well combined.
5. Your homemade shampoo for oily hair is ready!
6. To use, take the bowl to the shower with you and work it into a wet hair and scalp. Leave it to suck up the stale and excess oils for about 2 minutes, while you shave/wash the rest of your body.
7. Rinse off with warm water then cold water. To condition, you can use this DIY Hair Rinse for Oily Hair. It works as a good conditioner for oily hair! You can also use a tiny smudge of coconut oil to condition.
