Here’s a simple homemade honey citrus shampoo recipe that uses natural ingredients to gently cleanse your hair while nourishing it:

Honey Citrus Shampoo Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup liquid castile soap (unscented or citrus-scented)
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or orange juice for a milder option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil (optional – adds moisture)
  • 5–10 drops essential oil (optional – e.g., lemon, orange, grapefruit, or rosemary)
  • 1/4 cup distilled water or aloe vera juice (to dilute)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl or container, combine the honey and citrus juice. Stir until fully blended.
  2. Add the olive oil and essential oils (if using), then mix well.
  3. Slowly stir in the liquid castile soap and water or aloe vera juice.
  4. Pour the mixture into a squeeze bottle or old shampoo bottle.
  5. Shake gently before each use.

To Use:

  • Wet your hair thoroughly.
  • Apply a small amount of shampoo and massage it into your scalp.
  • Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
  • Follow with a light conditioner or a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse (1 tbsp ACV in 1 cup water) if desired.

Notes:

  • Store in the fridge if you use fresh juice; it should last about 1 week. For longer shelf life, use only essential oils instead of fresh juice.
  • Always patch test new products to ensure there’s no irritation.
