CLEANER SHAMPOO

Even natural shampoos can leave residue in your hair. Here is an old tried and true and a bit odd solution. Add 1-tablespoon of good grain alcohol (vodka) to your shampoo. I know! I was skeptical until I tried it!

The grain alcohol:

keeps soap residue from clinging to the hair shaft giving shine and body to your hair that does not come from additives that can weigh your hair down and clog follicles;
it acts as a mild detangler;
it’s antiseptic properties helps to reduce dandruff without harsh chemicals (also without drying out your hair & scalp)
an added bonus--it doubles the lather of shampoo making it more economical to use.

Now, so there are no surprises, the addition of even just one-tablespoon thins your shampoo so you’ll have to get beyond the need to feel that a thick liquid is necessary to clean your hair. Additionally, it creates so much lather when you first add it, that I recommend you put the vodka in a separate container and add the shampoo to it then return to your original shampoo bottle.

While you have the bottle open—try adding 3-5 drops of Rosemary essential oil and the same of Lavender essential oil. These traditionally stimulate the scalp and can help with alopecia. For African Americans, additionally add 1 teaspoon of jojoba wax. It is a natural conditioner that will not weigh your hair down.
