Favorite Shampoo

^^^ this might sound crazy- but have you tried making your own shampoo? the easiest recipe for it I have is 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup liquid castile soap, 1/2 teaspoon light oil (can be scented) and 1 teaspoon glycerin. If you like chamomile, then just brew chamomile tea and use that as the water. you can also add whatever additional herbs and stuff that you like- like lemon juice, aloe, etc.

It has Orange # 10 and Yellow # 5 in it, which is on my avoidance list. It also doesn't clean well for my hair type, and the smell doesn't thrill me.

I frankly don't have the time to make it since I'm spending more time with food prep and rotating ingredients to avoid new allergies or sensitivities. It also wouldn't be feasible with my travel and field work. Trying to go through airport security with home made unlabeled liquid is not something I want to experience.

I know there are products out there, and I'm willing to pay for them, it is just a pain to get my hands on some of them or get good information. Once I move my needs will probably change again with climate or water.
