In reply to tanya. I have not tried it. The coconut milk in a can is only coconut milk while the one in the container has other ingredients added so the effect won't be as good.

Can you use coconut milk not in the can but in Milk container?

In reply to Melissa. You can split the amount equally or if you like the smell of one better or want certain health benefits, do a little more of that one.

In reply to Andee. How much Rosemary oil do you suggest using with the soap, and lavender oil? Would you split the amount of drops between the two oils? Thanks in advance!

In reply to Cd. I think this could be a great option! I'd try it and see how your hair feels after. Try the homemade conditioner with it as well

Is this good for a dry scalp of more for dry hair?

In reply to Marty. Remove the Dr. Bronner's soap, it's unnecessary.

I was so excited to make this shampoo! BUT…I’ve got a question. We used Dr. Bronner’s Baby Mild Unscented Liquid Castile Soap and a can of GOYA Coconut Milk purchased at a local health food store. When these two were combined there was a HORRIBLE FISHY smell. My friend and I were sharing this recipe. In my HALF, I ended up adding 30 drops of a Purification Blend, 20 drops of Lavender, 10 drops of Grapefruit, and 5 drops of Cedarwood (high-quality expensive oils, btw) and it STILL has a fishy undertone. I’m not sure that I will be able to even use it. Neither the liquid soap or the coconut milk smelled like this until they were combined. QUESTION: Any idea what happened? Is this normal? I watched a YouTube video of someone making a similar recipe and their “coconut milk” (different brand) was VERY think and had to be removed from the can with a spatula whereas ours was a pretty thin liquid that poured out of the can. Any ideas?

In reply to leanne. Yes, you can use the exact same recipe minus the Castille soap.

Is there a soap free option? Instead of using the Castille soap

In reply to Janet. No. This does not need refrigeration if used within 30 days.

This is what I make to wash my hair! Affirmation that I’m doing something right. :) Well, this is -almost- the same… I use the lavender castille soap, and add rosemary essential oil for super scalp and hair health. As a bonus, I find that the combination of lavender and rosemary smells heavenly!

Do you need to keep refrigerated?
