To make your shampoo you will need -
About 1oz of herb material, 3oz of castille soap (I used Dr. Bronner's soap), 1/4 teaspoon of oil of choice, (I used my beauty blend, you could use jojoba), 8oz filtered or distilled water. Optional - essential oils.
Method - Make a strong infusion of herbal tea or simmer on the stove gently for 20 mins or so and then strain.
Add the castille soap and mix gently. Add the oil and the essential oils. Mix and pour into container. Shake well before use.
To make the hair rinse, fill a jar with your herbs and pour on Apple Cider Vinegar. Allow to infuse for 6 weeks. Strain and then use after washing and rinsing your hair. Use enough to fill your palm. Do not wash out.
Herbs suitable for dark hair include Rosemary, Garden Sage, Oak Galls, Black Walnut Hull.
Herbs suitable for fair hair include Calendula, Chamomile, Lemon rind.
It is such a pleasure to use herbs in as many formats as possible, for food, medicine, body care, crafts and so on. They are so beautiful and appeal to all the senses leaving you feel uplifted and cleansed.
Thank you so much to everyone for watching, for the lovely comments and for becoming a Patreon. We really appreciate everything. xxx
I love watching your channel so much. Sometimes on days like this one, when I feel a little down and tired, I just play your videos and I find them so comforting and familiar and hopeful. I suppose it’s just your spirit and the spirit of nature ❤️🙏🏽
You are so kind. I am so glad to hear you enjoy the channel and that you find the films comforting. Blessings!
I was just thinking the same thing myself. I'm nursing a migraine and have been listening to all of the Danu videos because they're so soothing 🌼
I agree 😅❤🎉
Interestingy
To learn,
Aaaaaw what you just said gave me goose poles and so I hear you!
Your own hair is a good promotion for herbal shampoo and rinse. I will give it a whirl.
Do! You will def see a difference in condition.
I agree, Terri your hair always looks so healthy and strong.
I made your shampoo recipe using rosemary, lavender and sage and just a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse as I didn't have the infused one ready yet. It has transformed my hair ❤.
I've just made a new batch of shampoo using calendula, horsetail, rosemary, sage, chamomile - I find the whole experience so fulfilling and my aged hair has been brought back to life 😊 Thanks so much for your inspirating ideas ❤
Lovely! Just a little caution about using plastic and essential oils. Essential oils react with plastic so any product containing essential oils, should be kept only in the glass containers. And thank you for this lovely video. 💚
Dr. Robber’s shampoos have essential oils. Do you suppose that the kind of plastic the company uses for their essential oils shampoos is a special kind of plastic ?
True. Plastic ruins everything.
I was going to say something too. I do mix them in a plastic bottle for cleaning..but I only make a small amount and use it every time
Unless it is HDPE(#2 plastic. Which is stronger.) I learned the hard way. I used to mix up cleaning blends in bigger spray bottles and one day, found bottle leaking Everywhere.
@Julia Obregon yes it has to be #2/HDPE plastic
Thank you for returning herbal product manufacture to everyday kitchens where it always was historically. No special equipment, no expensive consumer products, just everyday kitchens, a garden and home made , easy products for everyday use.
I totally agree xx
Muchas gracias, greetings from Chile. Many years ago I was also blessed by learning herbalism from Rosemary Gladstar
She is a wonderful woman xx
I just happened on your site Danu, and it is just what I needed. I am getting a bald spot near my crown and have heard that Rosemary is an excellent scalp stimulant.
It's hereditary; my dad and brother balded young. I'm 78 and plan to do what I can to fight it!
Thank you for all this information Danu. You are a very good teacher and a lovely lady. 😊🌻
Last time I used vinegar on hair was when my daughter donated some head lice - yuk! But how that vinegar worked on us both! And our long hair was so smooth, soft and shiny. I don't use conditioner at all, but seeing this film is very inspiring and I'd like to start making my own shampoo. Thank you xxx
Ugh, wish I would’ve known that one when my son brought that hOMe twice🙈. In the states, the otc treatment is expensive & those combs get stolen from the shelved boxes🙊 I Love this channel🐬
The seeds of custard apple can be used for head lice. Crush them and grind into a paste with water (doesn't find entirely smooth, but do your best) apply onto the scalp and hair, put on a shower cap, leave it in for 30 minutes or overnight. Wash with any shampoo. Repeat after 3 days if any still left.
Bicarbonate of soda works ok for dandruff, wet hair and rub Bicarbonate of soda well into scalp, rinse well and dry. Do it regularly only using bicarbonate of soda, the scalp will begin producing natural oils, after a few weeks.
@@blueocean2510 Interesting, thank you for sharing.
Alrighty, I just made the hair rinse with rosemary, lavender, rose and lemon balm. It smells rich and I can’t wait to see the end product in 6 weeks! ☺️👍🏻👍🏻
I steep a sprig of rosemary in 2 oz of water overnight in a mason jar and then keep it in the fridge. 2x a day I have been massaging my husband’s scalp and my own. Our hair is fuller now and I noticed mine growing much faster. I think my husband’s bald spots are reversing, but I’m not entirely sure because I’ve only been doing this a week. One bottle lasts about 3-4 days.
Rosemary,calendula flowers, 8 oz water,put in the container, infuse for 30 minutes , 3 oz castillo soap after ,beauty oil, and essentials al oils,
Mostly I use birch leafs, golden rod, (for the platinum look ;) stinging nettle, chamomile, ( My mother used to rinse my hair with chamomile and I loved this floral scent) honey,
burdockoil (chop up the roots from the first year plant, dry them in a dark place, cover them with almond, olive, jojoba,.....oil, close the glass firmly, keep it in a dark place for 4 weeks and shake from time to time. ) and exactly the same Soap :) And when the calendula blooms, I will definitely try your recipe. Our grandmothers often had no choice but to pick herbs. We do! have the choice! We can make so many things ourselves and share what we know and walk together a better and healthier way of living. I thank you with all my heart and everyone else too!!!
I'll soon be 75 years old. My hair is about the same color as yours; except, my hair is very dry, dull, and breaks easily. Today is very windy; and, my hair is a mess every time I go outside. I am going to give this a try. I'll have to grow the rosemary first. I love the smell of rosemary. Your hair is beautiful. Thank you for this video.
another plant that’s great to put in the hair rinses is horse tail. it strengthens your hair
That's right, he is full of silica
I must agree with Lynn Hill ,your hair is a wonderful advert .Will try this when the Calendula flowers
Thank you Mary!
I use a base of Miracle ll then use oils for my shampoo and body wash.
I'll have to add some actual herbals too. Thanks
OMGosh!! This is the BEST shampoo recipe!! I used what I had in the garden: rosemary, sage and mint. My hair is so soft silky after using-unlike anything I’ve used from the store. It also helps me reduce my plastic waste. Thank you!!!
I'm going to make these today ! I have to smile at the versatility, hair rinse or salad dressing, dual purpose..! 💜
I use rosemary and lavender from my garden to make infused whipped shea butter. Great for the hair and body! I use ACV to rinse my hair but never thought to infuse it. I will try this soon.
I'm growing rosemary & lavender for cooking, but I may try that too. Nice idea.
How do you make the Shea butter.
I have just tried this for the first time, I went in the garden and collected rosemary and sage, and added some drops of lavender essential oils and a teaspoon of argan oil shampoo, and made a rosemary rinse and oh my gosh.
I had no idea it would work so well, it cleaned my scalp, I have little to no dandruff already and for the first time in ages my scalp isn't itchy.
Thank you so so much for this, I am over the moon and my hair smells so nice!!!
Delighted to hear that xx
My hair has grown tinsels (not grey, lol), and it's naturally curly. Nothing commercial works right. I'll try this!
Thank you for this wonderful video. You’ve inspired me to start looking into what I have here near me as far as local wild herbs I can use for hair. Not only is this a much more healthier more natural way to clean your hair, but also it helps you to become more self-sufficient. It helps you to become more self reliant, and to be able to live a good life without depending on stores, and modern technology. Much like our ancestors who produced their own food, built their own homes, made their own clothing and shoes and pretty much everything that they used and consumed
I'm a Cosmetologist. I see almost everyone has a nasty scalp condition nowadays. My client the other day told me he hasn't washed his hair in 5 years! It wasn't gross or smelly! I've tried that no shampoo thing before but I always fail. I'm tired of my dry itchy scalp, dry damaged hair. I'm trying it again because I'm allergic to everything.
absolutely, Karina! a much higher quality of life in your own hands.
This has been a manifestation to a request. 😍🙏
I have always admired your lovely hair. It's beautiful 😍
Thank you Sandra🙏
One thing I had to formulate on my own, as there wasn't much around on it, was a hair balm or styling pomade. I make it much like a traditional balm with a base of Olive Oil and Beeswax. Then I add in some oil of bergamot, rosemary, and tea tree to help keep the scalp healthy. Its works great! :)
Ooh oil of bergamot! I didn’t think of that one to use! I love bergamot
You should sell that!! I would buy it!!
I also created a pomade for my husband years ago, only I use coconut oil with beeswax, lavender, and rosewood. He still uses it every day. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Have you a recipe with specific amounts please? If not fair enough..bet you smell lovely as you waft on by
I usually simmer rosemary in a pot for like a half hour to hour and then strain and add some apple cider vinegar, and yse it as a hair rinse. I never thought of making a shampoo, such a good idea. Im going to try it. 💜
Do you use just the rosemary leaves or include the stems? Thanks☺
I use ALOT of rosemary as recommended by ny Wiccan friend (I'm celtic green pagan myself) and yes rosemary works!!!! My hair comes much thicker for winter and keeps my hair shiny even thoughbits dyed :)
Rosemary is a wonder for the hair. x
Hello. Could you please tell me How did you prep and use your Rosemary on your hair? Thank you
I remember the very first video I watched had me thinking how lovely your hair is. I wondered what you used. Now I know! Thank you!
I made this using rosemary, lavender and apple mint. For the oil, I used castor oil because it is good for hair growth. I washed my hair and it feels amazing- my scalp and hair. This is definitely going to be my go to shampoo now. Thank you! Do you happen to have recipes for a great deodorant and toothpaste?
I was wondering what other oil would be good to use! Thanks for sharing your experience with Castor oil. I've heart the same about its benefits to increase hair growth but wasn't sure if it would be too sticky to use in this shampoo.
Hi ! I love this idea ! Do you have the portions to your shampoo or instructions ?? Thanks 🥰
It’s in the drop down section below the video@@nazarethpenarodriguez9519
yes, please do share the recipe. It sounds fantastic!
I make my own toothpaste with Coconut Oil and Bicarbonate Soda…just add peppermint if want a minty taste Lol… my own shampoo next…because I don’t like going to big shops anymore. 🌻☘️
I use onion skin, mint, sage, rosemary, coffee , tea, mugwort, and turmeric, in various combinations. What ever I have most of. I wash my hair with baby shampoo. I do this once a week. I like it better than dye's it doesn't bother my scalp. Love your channel.
Fantastic, I love your combinations. The sky is the limit!
Just wondering what does the coffee do for hair? I have never heard of using it in shampoo. You have peaked my intrest
This sounds very interesting. Can you elaborate abit more on how you make this up and how long you leave it on for? I would love to try it!
Update: I just finished mixing up some of the shampoo. All I have on hand is dried herbs, too cold here for herbs except chives. Didn't think that was a good idea, ha! I measured out an ounce of herbs knowing it would be too much. I had to add more water as it absorbed nearly all the water, of course. I recently read Clary sage is good for hair, so added several drops of it and cypress essential oils and a natural facial oil I have on hand. It smells so nice! I was concerned it would smell like an Italian savory sauce, but it's a lovely wonderful earthy fragrance, like walking in woods. I actually have tried to duplicate that fragrance and here I stumbled upon it!. I cannot wait to use it and plan to use rosemary, Clary sage and cypress essential oils in my next batch of soap. I do not care for the odor of Castile soap, but is completely disappeared.
Original: Those sound heavenly. Thank you! I have been making my own shampoo and body bar for several years but your recipe sounds lovely for a self care evening. Joanne, USA
I use rosemary + cloves + bay leaves tea as a spray after washing my hair with organic olive oil and bay leaves soap and it's really amazing with hair growth & preventing the loss💕🌿🌱
I've just discovered your channel and I LOVE your videos so much ❤️ 😊
when I speak of my formerly brown hair I call it my crone crown.. Love this thank you so much for all you do!!
The calendula is a beautiful shade of orange! I have used my liquid laundry soap with success and will now move on to shampoo - this was great advice and example. Thankyou! (Canada)
Go for it Miriam! Brilliant to hear.
This was wonderful! Wanted to add that putting your rinse in the fridge solves the problem (for me) of needing to do a cold final rinse of the hair to close the shaft.
Hi Terri.Oh! How lovely!.I can almost smell the beautiful aromas of the shampoo through the screen. Your hair is proof of how these wonderful natural ingredients enhance the beauty of hair! Your hair is beautiful, and looks so healthy and soft. I will be trying this,. Thank you as always for your fantastic and interesting video. Have a happy week:)
You too! Blessings x
What a lovely lady! Thank you for sharing!
I just got rosemary and calendula seeds. Can't wait to make these!
if you want rosemary faster, 4 inch pieces root easily in water.
I use shampoobars to wash my hair, and then I’ve made a “mermaid”-hairspray with essential oils. It’s basically just rosemary, lavender & cedarwood and then fill the rest with water. Sometimes I put in a dash of witch hazel.
but I love making them myself 🤗
It is very satisfying and then you can never go back to the shop kind
Very nice. I also put herbs like tulsi, or yarrow flowers...or whatever is available at the time. In the winter I pull out some of my dried herbs and flowers and use them. Lavender is one that really gives a nice fragrance even through the vinegar scent.
Lavender is wonderful!
You're a breath of fresh air!!!!!!thank you for these Lovely recipes!!!!!can't believe you already have calendula flowers in your Green House😊☀️🌻🐝🐦🎶
We have Calendula outside too but a bit smaller in flower head size.🎶🌿💞
So glad I found this channel.
Will definitely make that shampoo, I have all the ingredients. I have used ACV as a hair rinse with some lemon juice and it is great for the scalp.
I made a body scrubb with pure grey seasalt ( full of magnesium) olive oil,rosemary, and very fine chopped lemonskin. Scrub your body before bedtime with it, put on a pyama and leave it on your skin till the next morning. Then shower your body with luke warm water. Fantastic what it does with your skin.
I’ve always used a chamomile rinse with witch hazel. I may spread my wings a bit and try this!
Hi! I just started witch hazel and I love it! Except the smell... it almost makes me sicky feeling to smell. Any suggestions?
Grey, no , silver, no, platinum YES!💋
YES!
Loved this, I collect river water because of all the great benefits of the water to rinse my hair or just let it set in my hair and since I've done that my hair has grown fast...would love to try this out, thanks for sharing your ideas...
You're welcome!
Terri, you are such an inspiration to me! I am going to make both of these as soon as I get home on Saturday. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and knowledge with us!
Good for you. Try them xxx
As I can see that you have lovely shiny hair and a healthy competition, I will most Definitely try this recipe! Thank you 🌻
Thank you for sharing these recipes, and explaining how they work.
I have thick natural curly hair! I love ACV rinse as it really takes off excess build up from the commercial soap! Thank you for the recipes! ❤️
You are welcome Sara. ACV rinse is so good! xx
Thank you so much, I love your recipes. My grandma used herbs for me when I was child instead of commercial products. Your recipe with rosemary is additional plant to them what I just new.
Thank you.
Lovely idea. The good news is i ordered plantain from etsy in florida and planted 2 that are doing well. You called it the bandaid. I am excited hope it lives through winter. You are inspirering thank you!!!
Good luck!
My latest batch of homemade shampoo is a rosemary and horsetail blend. Horsetail for silica to keep my hair healthy and rosemary to keep it from thinning. A rinse I like is either made with nettle or a stimulating rosemary and peppermint mix in vinegar or sometimes lemon juice, water, and chamomile essential oil. I can gather horsetail on a nearby forest trail, but I now live in a condo so often purchase dried herbs to use. Watching you in your lovely garden makes me miss my large herb garden on my former homestead. Your vlog is a feast for heart and soul.
So glad to hear you are enjoying the videos xx
I just found your site today!! Wonderful!! I love the way you pronounce your words. I am from the USA.
I looove her she is fantastically wonderfully superb!!!!
Ty I’m so happy I found this video and this lovely lady .
Thank you Terri! 🙂
I think this may be a higher power tapping me on the shoulder. I just read similar information a couple days ago. Message received!😉
Love and blessings! 💜
Enjoy the process xx
This is a godsend. I've had a fungal infection on my scalp for a while now and your remedy sounds perfect.
I live in North Carolina USA, and can't locate calendula or chamomile flowers for the highlights. But one herbal shop sells them in dried form. Would the dried herbs works?
@@debraelramey5254 I am sure they will try and lets us know.
Thank You Terri...Love and Happy Mother's Day...
Many Happy Returns Forest BirdGirl💚
Well, since all the other recipes you have shared have turned out so wonderfully, I am totally going to try these as well! Thank you for another great video!❤️😊❤️
Great! Glad you have been trying other things too. x
Interesting recipe that I'll try when I run out of mine. The one I made was regular cold process with gentler oils for hair and butters and the hers Rosemary and Nettle included in the trace. First try, I see I should have infused them. I never thought of the castile soap for the hair, mine need lots of moisturizer so I don't know how it'd react. And I use my rinse with 1 part of apple cider vinegar for 7 parts of distiled water. I should add the herbs there too to increase the effects. It's a brilliant idea, thanks!
I’m a bloke and even I’m won over by this! Thanks again for the wisdom good Terri!
I haven't had access to fresh herbs for a while. But I used to use aloe vera juice with essential oils as a hair rinse. It was lovely.
Sounds great! xx
Not herbal, necessarily, but here are a couple of things to try:
weekly hot oil treatment - 1/4c coconut oil//0.5 tsp flax oil//0.5 tsp castor oil.
Final rinse - fermented rice water. Great as facial toner too as it removes redness and calms the skin
Perfect - thanks! xx
Thank you for this, I will give it a try as soon as I need. I've taken to using bar shampoos to reduce my plastic purchases. Rosemary grows well in my current garden and although I'm a natural blonde (whose hair color is naturally evolving as I age) I like using a rosemary tea as a rinse. Smell is wonderful and it makes my hair feel extra silky.
Wonderful! xx
Hi ,I am from România and live here in North Ireland from 16 years ,I am so happy to discover your Chanel! ❤️💐🍀🌹
Hello and welcome!
I'm absolutely going to try this. I just buzzed my hair to get rid of all chemical color. My natural is mostly silver with some dark. I want to encourage growth. Hopefully the rosemary doesn't darken my silver ☺️
Use Chamomile instead!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Wonderful. Thank you!
Here again dear Sister , this share fits perfect for motherday , maybe for all our dear sister mums beautycare ! Ahh Rosemary - i like this word ;-) Thank you for share also this upload with us today and blue looks so pretty on you - fits you very much the color of our sea and living water
Love to you too Simmi Saa. Have a great evening xx
Love this thankyou for the different hair reccomendations, im going to try adding the chamomile and lemon rind!
You can play with these recipes to suit your hair colour and condition.
I make rosemary and sage hair rinse and it goes on straight after I've washed my hair, and leave in for a few mins then squeeze out. I leave it to seep in HOT water over night before usage
The books arrived! Thankyou!🙏🏻
So glad to hear. I hope you enjoy them💚💞
At 1:00 in the morning, can't sleep, I found you! Thank Mother. I love your channel and have subscribed and I can't wait to try your recipes. We have loads of herbs in our garden in North Wales and they are going to be utilised now, thanks to finding you. Lovely lady... bless you xxx
Hi Jay!
This is lovely! I started using rhassoul clay to wash my hair months ago and it’s been working beautifully. I just put some clay in a jar and shake it up with some distilled water and rosemary essential oil. After watching this I think I’ll infuse the water with some calendula that I have prior to mixing. Also I have been using a flaxseed gel as a daily hair mask to strengthen my hair. I always love hearing new ideas and I’m very grateful for this video and your channel as a whole. 💕
Thank you Melanie, glad to hear that. x
Flaxseed gel, that sound interesting what exactly is it and did you notice substantial hair growth ? If so that's amazing.
@@hikerx9366 You will find it in the fridge in health food shops. It should be kept in fridge otherwise it goes rancid. It's new to me to hear it's good for hair growth. But so much is, after reading all these notes. This is such a great site.
Absolutely love your handcraftings! Thank you for another lovely recipe.
You're welcome Vicki🙏
Love the acoustical guitar accompaniment.
My husband's music xx
I've started making my own hair oil infused with rosemary, cloves and coconut oil or olive oil. I find it works with reducing frizz and making my hair shiny. I've only been using it for a year and I've never looked back. I'm excited to try this out☀️
Lovely tutorial, I'm going to make this tomorrow. Got rosemary in garden and lots calendula's in polytunnel. I've never used rosemary on my hair as I thought it was just for dark hair but now I'm white I'll give it a go!!! I love your site, very informative., thankyou.
Thanks for the thumbs up Cjristine!
I am very excited, have calendulas and rosemary in garden.. we are in summer so fortunate I came across your site this morning... I have made your recipient, haven’t had so much fun in years!! Thank you
Oh good to hear! It is fun making your own body care. xx
Trying this today 🤩 I live in Bermuda and I am tired of spending so much money on natural hair products!!
I use a rosemary nettle bar on my hair and have for years but I find it be a little drying so I am anxious to try this especially since I can make it myself! I always look forward to your videos :)
Thank you!
You can add some hibiscus leaves to overcome the dryness. Rosemary used to dry my hair as well but after using hibiscus it became very soft and fluffy because hibiscus is conditioning.
I normally wash my hair with an all natural herbal shampoo bar and "condition" with a cooled rosemary and lavender tea with some rosemary oil and apple cider vinegar. I'll try infusing the herbs with the vinegar soon.
I have a small child at home and still repurpose glass jars. I'm just careful to put everything out of reach or away so he can't get into it. 😉
Your rinse sounds lovely!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden thanks. I have fine curly hair.
I love Rosemary Gladstar too! Love the content here! Keep up the awesome wonderful work!
She is wonderful!
I add rosemary oil to my shampoo which is vegan. Your hair is beautiful Terri....mine is natural grey....it looks platinum as does yours! My hair is three feet long and I am growing to four ft. Love your site! Subbed.🐝🦋💜🦋🐝
When I converted to natural shampoo, my scalp and hair never feIt so clean and shiny, not to mention, I got my hairs natural texture back. It takes a few weeks, for some people even month to regulate the oils on the scalp and detox from shampoo “addiction “. I tried diluted Castile soap with other natural ingredients but made my scalp very itchy and didn’t like the feel of my hair. What worked for me was good old eggs or egg yolks, apple cider vinegar, rosemary and peppermint, lavender essential oil. Shook the bottle with the applicator and put it on the scalp and rubbed, then rinsed it with lukewarm water. Felt very very clean.
Now I just use apple cider vinegar with essential oil and some nettle tea, rub it in my scalp and rinse.
Old fashioned shampoo that worked for thousands of years!
I use 1 teaspoon of dried stinging nettle leaves (organic) in large bowl and add boiled water. When water is luke warm, drain the leaves and then I dunk my whole head in the stinging nettle water, using my hands to rub into scalp. I don’t rinse, just air dry - it does an excellent job- hair is very clean & very easy to do- I’ve heard you can use other teas & I’ve tried using dried dandelion leaves, did a good job cleaning my hair, but it made my blond highlights to brassy . Also do not attempt to brush wet hair after washing with stinging nettles - wait until it’s 80% dry then brush- if hair is to dry or frizzy after it has dried (
as mine is without commercial conditioner), I use a silk bonnet & or silk hair ties overnight . This works a treat.
Lovely!
Decades ago I had Phillips Beck's Herbs, Health and Cookery- which had since lovely recipes for hair and body care products.
I made many herbal vinegars, nettle and horsetail were 2 she suggested as well.
I've been using a bar shampoo that I quite enjoy - but can't use the accompanying conditioner, as it has wheat germ oil and that makes my scalp itchy! Calendula and Rosemary shipping like a lovely combo
Oh I know who Rosemary Gladstar is! She collaborates with Mountain Rose Herbs in Oregon, US. I’ve watched her videos and have purchased many products from Mountain Rose Herbs. Thank you Terry for these great ideas! I will get started today on the rinse and shop for some Castile soap next week for the shampoo recipe. Bright blessings to you ♥️🌱♥️
And Blessings to you too MrsMMcG, have a great day!
Thank you for that I use organic apple cider or homemade apple cider vinegar, I have silver hair too and I love the apple cider vinegar rinse, I rarely use the hair dryer now and my hair is so shiny and I am looking forward to trying your recipe 👍😉🇮🇪☘️
Enjoy - it is so easy and simple to make xx
Love Love your videos. I find so inspiring. Looks to simple to make. I will try this and make your soap. My kids can help me. Calendula also helps heal wounds ~ would be nice to make a salve. Sometimes i simply put coconut oil in my hair for a mask/ moisturizer and rinse out.
Beautiful products thanks for sharing ❤. I am also a herbalist and make skin care products too, but so far have only made a basic rosemary hair rinse by infusion, to pour through hair instead of plain water after washing. I will definitely try this! Xx
I have dark hair. So what I do aside from using Aleppo soap as my "shampoo", I make a mixture of henna powder, coconut oil, honey, and an infusion of Roselle flowers. I mix it and let it sit for however long I have time (between an hour to overnight) and then I apply the paste onto and into my hair, and leave that on for however long I have time..(between an hour to overnight) the longer it all sits, the more intense the reddish hues.. but I only want a slight reddish effect so I never leave it for very long. I will wash it all out with my Aleppo soap, and then use the rest of the roselle infusion as a rinse so as not to waste whatever was leftover in making the henna paste. I've noticed my hair is a lot healthier and doesn't fall out like it used to. As for a "conditioner" (its really not needed, but makes my hair shiny) I use a hair oil of some type. Sometimes a plain argan oil or sometimes it's a rosemary (and other herbs) infused almond oil. on a regular wash day, I'll just use Aleppo soap and then the hair oil.
Sounds divine!
I love your hair! Its beautiful! 🙂
Thanks Connie!
I love this! Im a huge fan of calendula! The flowers are like pure sunshine! And i was just wondering about a vinegar rinse! Im totally doing that! I have made a hair rinse with just oregano and it feels great and does stimulate hair growth. Thanks for sharing! Love your videos!!!!😻
Thank you Kelsey!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden So do both oregano and Rosemary stimulate hair growth??
So I imagine putting a few drops or oregano in your shampoo mixture is good Maybe tea trea too. I also add baking soda too. It's good fir ouder and scrubbing to add. I add it separately for each shampoo. Fill a cup with water and a table spoon or so plus shampoo. I nice wash. A good rinse .
Also I always use a acv rinse, bout one fourth acv w warm water great f itchy scalp n dandruff
I f also use the castile soap, especially on private parts, as t not irritate
I'm also changing over t all plant base products
I'm noticing itching n stuff don't have a garden like u but will do my best just boughtva rosemary plank
U are a godess! We are bout same age n I have silver hair n some platlin😮🎉
Great video, as usual. I learned so much and I'm going to give it a shot. Your comments about so-called natural ingredients remind me about what you said in your video about making laundry soap, that just because something is recommended as good for your hair doesn't mean anything really. The man who cuts my hair recommended that I take some kinds of supplements to help my thinning hair and a "purple shampoo" to prevent brassy tones in my lightening hair. I was about to go buy these products until I saw this. You are the one I trust!
Some supplements could help, B vits such as Biotin but Rosemary has a long long history of restoring hair xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGardenThanks for taking the time to respond . I'll look into the B vits. He suggested Rogaine. which I have not investigated. My opinion is still that what nature gives us is always the best place to start, especially with what you say about Rosemary's long history. (I had a Rosemary plant when I was living on my boat because it is so salt tolerant. Rosemary is Rosmarinus, dew of the sea).
I also want to avoid the shampoo he mentioned, and all shampoos really as I'm learning from you about what commerical shampoos do to your hair.
I already have everything on hand to make this, even rosemary, which doesn't grow where I live, I can purchase at my local market. Thank you again for making your experience and wisdom available to us.
Im going to make this shampoo.. You inspire me❣️ I absolutley love watching your videos. You have a calming effect on me. I bought both of your PDF weed books. They are so enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing❣️🤗
So glad to hear you are enjoying the books. Thanks so much Tonya xx
Thanks for sharing. I haven't used store bought shampoo in years, I also make my own...pretty close to what you are doing. I use coconut milk and essential oils (rosemary and lavender). I find the ACV takes the tangles out nicely. 👩🏽🌾🙏🏽💖
I have used a vinegar rinse occasionally. This sounds wonderful! I’m going to give it a go with these plants from my garden. Thanks
Great! Try lots of plants!
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden can you recommend a plant for dry scalps? Very interested in joining your online lesson in February
I've just found your channel, what a delight! as I'm stepping on the journey with all things herbs. Thank you for the shampoo lesson, I've been wondering for a few weeks how to make it.
Welcome! Hope you enjoy the channel and find it helpful xx
I love using herbs for things other than flavoring food. I have not made shampoo for years. I think I will now. Thanks for the push I needed to start this wonderful experience again.

Lovely video. I have used an egg wash with an apple cider vinegar rinse. ❤
