Can an ordinary shampoo regrow healthier hair? This is one of the most common questions asked by thousands of people. Well, if truth be told, the answer is no.
However, what an ordinary shampoo can do is to maintain the health and radiance of the hair. It can also improve the quality of your tresses, giving you a shinier and healthier mane.
An ordinary shampoo can even help prevent the onset of grey hairs, dandruff, split-ends, and lice infestation. However, not just any shampoo will do. It is always best to use organic do-it-yourself (DIY) shampoo recipes made from essential oils and fruits, which are taken from various herbs.
These home-made organic shampoo recipes are easy to do and all of them contain ingredients found on your kitchen cupboard or backyard garden.
Depending on your hair type, you need to create a DIY organic hair care shampoo which will help you in your quest for shinier and healthier mane.
Here are three of the best DIY shampoo recipes that you can try to create at the comfort and convenience of home.
