Making a shampoo is a lot easier than you would think. If you think commercial, store-bought shampoos are too strong or too generic for your hair type, then with the help of this book, you will never have to buy another bottle again.
In the third book in the DIY Hair Products Series, Heather shows you how to make your own shampoo by introducing you to the most common ingredients that go into a shampoo. If you have dry hair, you no longer have to pay a premium for sulfate-free shampoos because Heather shows you how to make them yourself!
