DIY Argan Oil Shampoo

Argan oil may well be one of the best products for your hair considering that it can moisturize the strands and even reverse the damage caused by the use of chemicals on your scalp. Make your own DIY argan oil shampoo and watch as it clears dandruff and repairs split ends.

Argan Oil Shampoo with Castile Soap

Given that castile soap is an organic, non-toxic cleansing agent made with olive oil, you can safely use it to make a DIY argan oil shampoo that nourishes your tresses. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 tbsp Organic Argan Oil
• 5 to 6 drops of Essential Oil according to your hair type

Method:

4. Users with an irritated scalp can choose sunflower oil, jojoba oil, or tea tree oil.
5. If you have normal hair, play around with any of your favorite fragrances.

8. It is recommended that you apply the shampoo, leave it on for a few minutes, and then, wash off for best results.

Argan Oil Conditioner

While a DIY argan oil shampoo is best if you would prefer to avoid chemical hair care products, you can also opt to use argan oil by itself to give your hair a lovely shine. After washing, take a few drops of the argan oil and smooth them over your damp tresses. Leave the oil on and dry as usual. Alternatively, you can rinse with cold water to seal the cuticles for a lovely smooth finish.
