Invigorating Grapefruit-Mint Shampoo

1/4 cup liquid castile soap

1/4 cup distilled water

1 teaspoon vegetable glycerine

Juice of 1/2 grapefruit, strained

20 drops peppermint essential oil

This recipe makes your hair feel squeaky-clean without over drying it, like store-bought shampoos with their harsh ingredients can. Grapefruit gently exfoliates the scalp, allowing peppermint oil to penetrate, stimulate and balance the scalp’s pH levels.

Combine ingredients in a recycled shampoo bottle or resealable container of your choice. Shake thoroughly before each use. Apply a small amount to scalp, lather and massage for 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly, and follow with conditioner.
