Soapwort-Infused Flaxseed Gel: Best Gentle DIY Shampoo EVER?

[sasha fox]

Tried it out today! I used a little bit of ACV, and then flax and 5 soap nuts. I have a scalp that gets oily around day 4 or 5, but ends that hate being washed. So I did a scalp only wash with this shampoo DIY and it worked out great! I’ll probably use this to scalp only wash once or twice a week, and then do a full hair wash every other week. I’m also going to try infusing the shampoo with different herbs— nettle, rosemary, ginger, sage, and mint are all waiting in my garden!

How fortuitous, I was looking for a shampoo recipe and I have a lot of flaxseeds that I bought for baking that I decided I hate to eat. My husband would also probably use this but we have a different hair type, can anyone speak to how flaxseed + soapwort tends to influence fairly oily hair?

This is great, thank you! I have some soapwort seeds I planted recently, they need to hurry up and grow so I can try this!

I'm glad everyone's getting on well with it so far!
