Gluten Free Shampoo

Why not make your own...

"This basic shampoo for normal and dry
hair keeps your tresses healthy and shiny
and won't strip away natural oils. For oily
hair, omit the vegetable oil.

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup mild liquid soap*
1/2 teaspoon light oil (vegetable,
canola, sunflower)
Gently stir ingredients together. Don't
beat as this will cause mixture to foam. Pour
shampoo into a clean plastic bottle.
Shampoo as you normally do. Rinse well with
cool water. Makes 8 ounces.

*TIP Pure Castile-style vegetable soap works
nicely and is well tolerated by sensitive skin.
It's available at health food stores and drug stores.

Make your own conditioner by stirring together
2 tbsp. honey, 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1/2 cup water
until thoroughly blended. (If you have oily hair,
reduce the amount of oil or leave out.) Work a small
amount through wet, clean hair and rinse thoroughly."
