Using expensive beauty products can be like washing money down the drain.
Nora Kapche, the Coupon Contessa, stretches her dollar by making her own shampoo, condition and deodorant.
“It’s not hard at all, it only takes really about 3-5 minutes to put it together and store it,” says Nora.
Here are the recipes:
Basic Shampoo:
1/4 cup distilled water, 1/4 cup of castile soup, 1/2 teaspoon of jojoba oil
Refreshing Shampoo:
1/4 cup distilled water, 1/4 cup peppermint castile soap, 1 1/2 tsp jojoba oil, 1/8 tsp tea tree essential oil, 1/8 tsp peppermint essential oil

I have tried your recipe for the laundry and dishwashing soaps.
The diswashing – so far is ok.
The laundry — maybe I did something wrong — there was residue left on the clothes and in the washer.
Any ideas?
HI,
Did you use 1 tablespoon of detergent? I have used this recipe for years now and not had this problem before. I am sure we can find the solution!
Thanks for using the time and effort to write something so interesting.
