DIY Goat’s Milk Shampoo Bar with Jojoba Oil for Healthier Hair
Share
Goat’s milk has been a skincare staple for ages, thanks to its natural vitamins and minerals that keep skin soft and hydrated. But did you know it’s also fantastic for hair? Goat’s milk can work wonders on your hair when mixed with the right ingredients. Pairing it with jojoba oil – a soothing, lightweight oil – brings even more benefits. Here’s how to make your own simple goat’s milk shampoo bar that’s as good for your hair as it is easy to make.
Why Goat’s Milk and Jojoba Oil?
Goat’s milk has proteins that strengthen hair and fatty acids that keep your scalp healthy. It’s nourishing without being harsh, so it’s great for all hair types. Jojoba oil, meanwhile, feels light but has a powerful ability to balance scalp oil, reduce irritation, and promote hair growth. Together, they make an ideal combo for soft, shiny, healthy hair.
DIY Goat’s Milk Shampoo Bar Recipe
What You’ll Need:
- 8 oz goat’s milk soap base
- 1 tbsp jojoba oil
- 10-15 drops of essential oil (optional – try lavender or rosemary for a light, fresh scent)
- Silicone molds
Instructions:
- Melt the Soap Base: Cut the goat’s milk soap base into small cubes and melt it over low heat in a double boiler. No double boiler? Use the microwave – just heat it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
- Add Jojoba Oil: Stir in the jojoba oil until fully blended.
- Optional: Add Essential Oil: If you want a little extra fragrance, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil and stir.
- Pour into Molds: Pour the mixture into silicone molds and let them set for at least an hour.
- Ready to Use: Once hardened, pop the bars out of the molds. To use, wet your hair and lather up with the bar, massaging your scalp before rinsing thoroughly.
This homemade shampoo bar is gentle, effective, and skips the waste of plastic bottles. It’s easy on your wallet and a natural way to care for your hair. Give it a try – your hair will thank you!
