Apple cider vinegar rinse

This is the recipe I’m using for my no poo challenge
Ingredients
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 Green tea bag
3 drops of rosemary essential oil
3 drops of lavender essential oil
1 1/2 cups Water
Steep the tea in hot water then and pour all the ingredients into a bottle.
Use: Wet hair then apply rinse to scalp and run fingers down through hair to the tips. Some people prefer using a spay bottle.
ACV has a similar acidic pH balance to hair. Shampoo is alkaline and upsets your natural pH balance wich is why we have to shampoo so often.
Green tea can help reduce shedding, help with dandruff and psoriasis, and increase hair growth.
Rosemary essential oil is good for hair growth as well. For the men rosemary slows down premature hair loss.
Lavender essential oil is great for keeping hair strong and prevention of dandruff.

DIY Body wash

Ingredients
1 cup Castile soap ( I used Dr. Woods)
1 cup water
3 Tbsp coconut oil ( I used Better Body)
1/2 cup olive oil (I used Organic ’ s extra virgin)
5-7 Drops of essential oils ( I used peppermint and lavender from Fabulous Frannie)
Add all the ingredients into your container using a funnel, give it a good shake and your ready to go.
This body wash is thin but lathers really well so you only need a little bit. It rinses clean and leaves skin soft.
