Solid shampoo, you know? With it, no more plastic containers or liquids that remain desperately at the bottom of the bottle! Far from being a simple trend, it is about more environmentally friendly hair care , but also your hair, which NUOO offers in a multitude of formulas.
If you are used to making your own organic and natural cosmetics, perhaps you have also thought of making your own homemade solid shampoo . Is it easy? Fast ? Efficient ? We tell you all about solid shampoo!
If more and more women (and men!) are opting for homemade organic and natural cosmetics, it is because it has several advantages. And solid shampoo is no exception to the rule, but then concretely, why make your own hair cleanser?
You are probably aware that most liquid shampoos found in supermarkets, and even at hairdressing professionals, contain a very long list of ingredients. And among them there are chemical products, not very ecological and detergents, which end up damaging your hair.
On the other hand, by making your own conditioner or solid shampoo, you use raw ingredients that you can select one by one. No nasty surprises! We also explain why to choose an organic solid shampoo.
By buying a bottle of liquid shampoo, you will pay from a few euros for a classic shampoo to more than 10 euros for organic hair solutions and/or intended for a very specific type of hair.
The homemade solid shampoo only costs you about 3 euros for a loaf of 100 grams. And that's not all ! Such a shampoo represents the equivalent of 2 to 3 bottles of shampoo, and therefore lasts longer.
You love the scent of your shampoo in a bottle, but you realize that it dries out your hair? Have you found a cleansing base that gets rid of excess sebum, but makes detangling complicated? Are you allergic to certain components of industrial shampoos? Here are some typical examples that can encourage you to make your homemade solid shampoo , for you alone or for the whole family.
You just have to follow a solid shampoo recipe that meets your concerns and your hair type:dull, colored, in need of hydration, etc. And you can even adjust it by replacing one ingredient with another, adding an essential oil, etc.
Another strong point of homemade solid shampoo:it is zero-waste and can consist entirely of natural and vegan products . Making your hair care can therefore be a good idea to reduce your ecological impact.
Making your natural shampoo at home certainly has many advantages, but before you start, you should also know that it is not done in a snap. Purchasing ingredients, using suitable utensils, hygiene rules, preparation time:a few elements may slow you down in your new good resolution.
The cost of a homemade solid shampoo is certainly very interesting, but you must not forget that you will have to get some basic products . This includes surfactants, vegetable oils or butters, plant powders and essential oils. And if you need to make a hair care product that is much more than a shampoo to wash the hair, you will need specific active ingredients that will facilitate detangling, hydrating the ends, restoring shine to the hair. dull, hold your color, etc.
It is quite easy to obtain these ingredients, but they are often sold in formats of several tens of grams or milliliters, much more than you will need for a shampoo. Before making your first bar of washing lotion for the hair, you will therefore have to pay perhaps a little more than you would have imagined, and make these purchases profitable over the months of use .
As with the homemade preparation of all organic and natural cosmetics, it is essential to work in a clean environment .
The cleaning step may seem a bit laborious, but it is essential to guarantee the safety of use of the product and its quality. Take the time to wash your hands thoroughly or wear gloves, disinfect utensils you are going to use (container, whisk, mould, spatula, etc.) and clean the work surface.
In addition, if you use volatile powders, it is advisable to wear a suitable mask and goggles. In short, you are decked out in a real laboratory suit!
Another important element:you have to take the time necessary to make your shampoo. It is important to carefully follow the solid shampoo recipe you have chosen and not to skip any steps. Count twenty minutes to manufacture your product and be patient before using it:it is advisable to let it cool for several hours before unmolding it, and to wait several days to a week before using it in the shower.
