Ingredients Needed

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

• Castile soap which is liquid soap made of pure olive oil
• Fenugreek and black seed serum, made of fenugreek seed and black seed. We have already covered making this powerful hair serum in this article: DIY Fenugreek and Black Seed Serum: The Secret to Longer, Healthier Hair
• Rosemary essential oil
• Sweet almond oil
• Mica color powder – Optional

Tools Needed

• Scale to measure quantities
• Glass beaker
• Whisk for mixing
• Container to store the shampoo
• PH acidity test kit

Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.

Steps: DIY Shampoo for Hair Growth

1- Start by putting 100 grams (3.52 oz) of castile soap in the beaker.

2- Add 5 grams (0.17 oz) of sweet almond oil.

3- Add 10 grams (0.35 oz) of the fenugreek and black seed serum.

4- Mix the contents with a whisk.

5- Add 5 drops only of rosemary essential oil.

6- Mix again.

7- As an optional step, you can add color to the shampoo. The proper way to add color is to mix a little of the mica powder with a small quantity of sweet almond oil.

Mix them thoroughly, then add the color mix to the shampoo. Do not add the mica powder directly to the shampoo.

8- The DIY Shampoo for Hair Growth is now done. Pour it into a suitable container and it is ready to use.

PH Acidity Test

It is important to check the PH of the DIY Shampoo for Hair Growth. It should be 4.5 to 6.5. The PH test kit I am using indicate colors corresponding to 5 and 7. Using these colors is a sufficiently practical approximation.

Take a leaf from the PH test kit, and immerse it in the shampoo for about 15 seconds. Take it out, and wait 2-3 minutes. After that, compare the color of the leaf against the range of colors on the PH test kit. In our case, the matching color is 7 which may be acceptable, however I prefer to bring the PH down:

• Simply, prepare a solution of 10 grams (0.35 oz) of distilled water and 10 grams (0.35 oz) of citric acid. Add 3 drops first to the shampoo, mix well, and re-test the PH. Follow this one drop at a time till the reading is in a good range.

How To Use: DIY Shampoo for Hair Growth

To achieve optimal results with our DIY shampoo for hair growth, follow these simple steps for the best application:

a. Wet your hair thoroughly: Start by thoroughly wetting your hair with lukewarm water. Ensure that your hair is damp but not overly saturated.

b. Dilute the shampoo: Take a small amount of the DIY shampoo and dilute it in your palm. Mix it with water to create a gentle lather.

c. Apply the shampoo: Gently massage the diluted shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips. Focus on the roots of your hair, where the most natural oils and product buildup tend to accumulate. Work the shampoo through the lengths of your hair, but be gentle to avoid tangling or damaging the strands.

d. Let it sit: Allow the shampoo to sit on your hair for a few minutes. This will give the ingredients enough time to nourish and fortify your hair and scalp.

e. Rinse thoroughly: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring that no shampoo residue remains. Make sure to rinse the lengths of your hair until the water runs clear.

f. Follow with a conditioner (optional): If desired, you can follow up with a natural conditioner to provide additional moisture and nourishment to your hair. However, it’s important to note that our DIY shampoo is designed to be moisturizing, so a conditioner may not always be necessary.

g. Repeat as needed: You can use this DIY shampoo as often as desired, but it’s generally recommended to wash your hair every two to three days to maintain a healthy balance of natural oils.

Remember, consistency is key when using any hair care product. Regular use of the shampoo, coupled with a healthy lifestyle and hair care routine, can help promote hair growth and improve the overall health of your hair.

Benefits: DIY Shampoo for Hair Growth

Using the DIY shampoo for hair growth can provide you with a range of benefits that contribute to the health and vitality of your hair. Here are some advantages you can expect from incorporating this natural homemade shampoo into your hair care routine:

Stimulates hair growth: The DIY shampoo contains ingredients like fenugreek and black seed serum, known for their properties that can promote hair growth. Regular use can help stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and reducing hair loss.

Nourishes the scalp: The combination of castile soap, sweet almond oil, and rosemary essential oil in the shampoo provides nourishment to the scalp. These ingredients help moisturize the scalp, prevent dryness and itchiness, and maintain a healthy environment for hair growth.

Strengthens hair strands: The natural oils and proteins present in sweet almond oil can strengthen the hair strands, making them more resilient to breakage and damage. This can result in thicker, healthier-looking hair over time.

Cleanses gently: Castile soap, a pure liquid olive oil soap, is a mild and gentle cleanser that effectively removes dirt, excess oil, and product buildup without stripping away the natural oils necessary for a healthy scalp and hair.

Adds shine and luster: Rosemary essential oil, known for its invigorating scent, also contributes to the overall health and appearance of your hair. It helps improve blood circulation in the scalp, promoting hair growth and adding shine and luster to your locks.

Customizable to your needs: One of the significant advantages of creating your own shampoo is the ability to customize it according to your hair type and specific needs. You can adjust the ingredients or their proportions to address concerns like dryness, frizz, or sensitivity.

Environmentally friendly: By making your own shampoo, you’re reducing your reliance on commercially produced products that often contain harsh chemicals and come in plastic packaging. Choosing a DIY approach promotes a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle.

Incorporating the DIY shampoo for hair growth into your hair care routine can help you achieve healthier, stronger, and more vibrant hair.
