Got a little crafty when Kathleen came to visit a couple weekends ago. She loves this store Lush, which is high quality but super expensive. SO! We decided to make some homemade shampoo using this Instructable. Kathleen used the dandruff recipe, and I did the soothing chamomile one. I’m bent on making my hair red again without dying it, so I added some lemon juice (chamomile tea and lemon juice are known to lighten hair, and lemon juice often adds a little red kick to it, too). Lemon juice dries out hair really fast, though. I just got mine trimmed and my lady had to cut off like two inches of crap. Lesson learned: if you intend to use lemon juice on your hair every other day, make sure you use something to counter act it. I ended up adding some extra jojoba oil to my shampoo which, as I found out later, makes it suds up really nicely when shaken. Otherwise it’s really liquidy and can easily get into your eyes.

  

Mental note: when using homemade shampoo containing large amounts of lemon juice, try to avoid getting it in your eyes.
