For blonde hair, double the chamomile and omit the sage.

For dark hair, double the sage and omit the chamomile.

For Red hair, add cranberry juice and omit chamomile and sage.

For oily hair, add 1/2 cup of lemon peel; and for dry hair, increase the marigold to 1/2 cup. Try to use fresh leaves if possible

1 Tbsp. sage
1 Tbsp. rosemary
1 Tbsp. nettle
1 Tbsp. peppermint
2 Tbsp. red clover
2 Tbsp. chamomile
1/4 cup orange peel
1/4 cup marigold flowers
1/4 cup birch buds and leaves
1 Tbsp. orris root
5 cups water
3/4 cup castile soap
2 Tbsp. aloe gel
Few drops essential oil
In medium pan, stir the water and spices and herbs and simmer for 15 minutes.

Cover and let seep for about 30 minutes. Strain the liquid.

In a blender, add 1 cup of the herb liquid with the aloe gel and blend on low speed until smooth.

In a glass bowl, blend the soap and the remaining liquid. Whip with a wire whisk until smooth and frothy, then add the liquid from the blender.

Pour the mixture into containers of your choice and add the scent last, a few drops to each container.

Shake to disperse the scent. Shampoo will last for 1-2 months if kept in a cool dry place.

Dandruff Remedy :

Take equal amounts of dried shikakai, amla and ritha. Mix well and powder them. Take some water and soak 2-3 handfuls of this mixture over night. Be sure that it will not be too thin. Next day sieve it and use it to wash the hair. This helps in hair growth and also cures dandruff.

Wash your hair with one of the following rinses. Pour the selected rinse through your hair 15 times, re-rinsing with the same liquid. On the final rinse, wring hair, and leave for 15 minutes before rinsing with clear water.
Blonde: Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice in 1 gallon warm water.

Brunette: Rinse hair with a strong black tea, or black coffee.

Red: Make a strong tea of rose hips or cloves, or use strong black coffee. A darker recipe for it is any dark red wine and grapefruit juice.
