I finally found a shampoo recipe I adore. Last weekend I attempted to use coconut oil to deep condition my hair. I followed the instructions. My hair was SO greasy. I tried a dandruff fighting homemade shampoo recipe and later on diluted lemon juice to de-grease my hair. The next day it was still greasy, so I used actual shampoo. It was less greasy. Day 3 I used the rest of my dandruff fighting shampoo and regular shampoo plus conditioner. My hair was a mess. Day 4 I try chamomile shampoo and it restores my hair to its silky and soft texture I was used to from comerical shampoo and conditioner.
Here's the link to the recipe (blonde castile soap recipe), plus others (such as a recipe for dark-haired individuals): http://hairrecipes.homestead.com/shampoorecipes.html
I do not think I will ever put coconut oil in my hair, but I continue to enjoy it as a lotion on my legs.
For conditioner, I've been keeping it simple with 1 cup of water with 1 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
Actually, I no longer make my own shampoo. I do continue to make my own conditioner from 1 cup of distilled water and 1 TB of apple cider vinegar.
