I make my own shampoo using Dr. Bronners Peppermint.

Here's what I do:

1. I use herbs (just from the grocery store) basil, rosemary, and sage. Place herbs in a clean glass jar with a lid.
2. Boil some spring water and pour over the herbs.
3. Cover and let steep for 10 to 20 minutes.
4. Strain the liquid from the herbs into a bowl.
5. Add the liquid castile soap and almond or olive oil and mix.
6. Add rosemary oil, mix again.
7. Bottle in a plastic container with a spout or a clean recycled shampoo bottle.

I love it! The peppermint and rosemary help my yucky scalp, and my hair feels thicker after using it, then using pre-made shampoo. /images/graemlins/drunk.gif

Aubrey Organics, Jason's Naturals and Giovanni are good brands. I am also going to to try Aussie's and Aveda. When can I purchase Aveda products? Do I have to order online or can I purchase them from stores? Thanks.

 

[Supergirl]

BUMP!

 

[vevster]

What about Aura products? Do they have dreaded SLSs?

If I'm reading the bottle correctly, Kenra Moisturizing Shampoo is another one without SLS or SLES.

Kiss My Face- Miss Treated (sic) Shampoo for damaged-treated hair. Available at health food stores-it's aromatherapy in a bottle of shampoo and also contains Clary Sage, Eucalyptus and Rosemary! Also has a rinse out conditioner with Peppermint in it. I recommend that you use the conditioner, the shampoo alone left my hair tangled, but the conditioner made it feel like silk.

Wow! That sounds good.. think I will give it a try.

 

[Aerie17]

Forgot to ask. Are these fresh herbs or dry? If dry, how much do you use? I assume fresh is the amount you would get in the store package?? I have the fresh in my garden.

Vevster---I have the Aura Rosemary Mint Shampoo and it has TEA-Lauryl sulfate, cocamide MEA, and cocamidopropyl betaine---I think these are the only lathering agents---no SLS listed--but can't speak for the other shampoos although I don't remember seeing SLS

 

[Miosy]

I have used and still use off and on a shampoo called Hemp Oil & lavendar shampoo by Uncle Harry's Natural Products, which is great but my husband complains that I smell like a bouquet of flowers afterwards. It's similar to the ingredients of one of the homemade shampoo posted by one of the ladies.
Ingredients: Castille soap, apple cider vinegar, hemp, lavendar, rosemary, lemon, tea tree oils, burdock root, neem, nettles, and sage

Can you post the prices of these shampoos? I went to a whole foods market and saw the Aubrey Organics and Jason's Naturals and all of their products were $7.50 to $15.00. Is that the average price for these products?

Elasta QP creme conditioning shampoo

I paid $8.00 for my Aubrey Island Naturals Island Butter shampoo. I would guess that the organic shampoos are going to be in the $7-15 range in most areas.

Suave shampoos don't have SLS or SLES much to my surprise. I think I might have to give them a shot. Since they're only a dollar, what do I have to lose?

 

[Supergirl]

Oh and we must not forget Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo

 

[UmSumayyah]

Don't suave shampoos contain ammonium lauryl sulfate? I think that may actually be worse.

 

[Tai]

Suave does have ammonium lauryl sulfate. But so does the beloved KeraCare Hydrating Shampoo. I think CON has ALS, too but since I'm not at home, I can't check the label. Many shampoos that don't have SLS or SLES have ALS.
I heard to avoid SLS & SLES. I hadn't heard to avoid ALS.

 

[Supergirl]

CON has no sulfates (no SLS, SLES, ALS, etc.)

 

[Tai]

Thanks, Supergirl. I know I have another shampoo that has sulfates that aren't SLS or SLES. Maybe it's the Aphogee Deep Moisture.....I'll have to go home and check.

 

[Supergirl]

I know the Elasta, Kenra and Elucence poo's have Sodium Myreth Sulfate--which is much milder than SLS or SLES. Those shampoos really moisturize too
