How to make soap and shampoo with your own hands. How to create a tinted shampoo? Methods of using laundry soap for hair

Invigorating in the morning and relaxing in the evenings, the so-called water procedures They have long ceased to be simply hygienic. Modern "ablution products" - shampoos, soaps, gels - with their aromas, variety of shades, pleasant consistency, and sometimes the ability to create unexpected effects, turn them into acts of pleasure.

Of course, I want them to also bring benefits: to nourish and heal the skin and hair. There are products with medicinal and nutritional additives, but they are produced in small quantities and belong to the elite class, which dictates their cost. The rest of the products are designed for mass consumers who are not willing to pay dearly, for example, for soap. Of course, there is no talk about the naturalness of such products. But there is a way out: create body and hair care products yourself.

Soap rose scents

The ease of creating a fragrant soap has led to the fact that many people are now engaged in soap making in the hope of making money. You rarely see soap from a private manufacturer in large stores: this product requires mandatory certification. After all, there must be a guarantee that no substance harmful to the skin (and the whole body) is added to the soap. What if the foam of this masterpiece in shape, most fragrant block corrodes the skin? However, few people think about the consequences, which is why the soap trade is thriving on trays and on the Internet. Soap “roses” and “chocolates” are so beautiful and fragrant that you just want to buy them. Common sense should help overcome this desire. But how to make safe, healthy and enjoyable soap yourself?

For soap you will need a base, and everything else - vitamins, oils, fragrances, milk, honey, propolis, chocolate, coffee and other products that will make the product special - is your choice. You can buy a special soap base, which consists mainly of coconut or palm kernel oils and natural acids, but you can do it simpler - use neutral soap as a base, preferably “Children’s”.

All that remains is to grate the block, dissolve it in a water bath and add useful additives (except essential oils and vitamins). You will have to stand over the pan for about half an hour, stirring the mass all the time, since it should not boil. After this, add essential oils and vitamins (vitamins A and E are especially useful for the skin). If you want beauty, throw flower petals into the mixture and turn off the heat. That's it, the soap can be poured into molds. It should “stand” for ten days, after which each piece should be wrapped in cling film.

Bomb of pleasure

Sizzling, colorful, scented bath bombs are a special treat. Making them yourself is even easier than making soap. There are also no problems with products for manufacturing. For one bomb you will need 3-4 tbsp. l. soda, 1-2 tbsp. l. citric acid, 1-2 tbsp. l. olive or almond oil plus a few drops of essential oil (for aroma). As a filler you can use not too coarsely ground, crushed herbs, powdered milk. The manufacturing process is simple: everything is mixed and compacted into molds, greased with the same olive oil or almond oil(to make the product easier to remove from them later). If the mixture crumbles, a little water will help. Just a little bit, otherwise the bombs will spread. To get a ball bomb, you can simply connect two small round cups together (but, in principle, who said that the bomb must be spherical?) The bomb dries within a day, after which it is ready to create a small geyser in the bathroom.

Shampoo for beautiful hair

But since such natural products do not foam, the procedure becomes boring and even time-consuming. For this reason, not everyone is ready to use these products to wash their hair. But progress does not stand still, and today, to prepare quality shampoo at home, you can purchase a soap base to which natural substances are added. This important ingredient can be found in specialized stores or searched in pharmacies. As an alternative, you can purchase a simple shampoo that does not contain all kinds of additives, dyes, flavors and other “useful” ingredients. This is very important because any preservative is harmful. Having found suitable basis, it can be enriched with essential herbs, vitamins, aromas and other ingredients as desired.
