Today we will make an amazing shampoo for our wonderful hair and because it also belongs to the Lilac Drops beauty line, we will use purple clay; firstly for the color, and on the other hand for the creamy result. It is one of the very easy formulas which just needs good mixing and kneading.
As I have rewritten, solid shampoos are very practical for everyday use, while being easily transported to the gym, swimming pool or airplane. Its use lasts much longer than ordinary shampoos in liquid form and is environmentally friendly as they do not need plastic packaging.
In today's formula I used sal butter because it is very nourishing and protects hair from dehydration, babassu oil because it rejuvenates dry and damaged edges and leaves the hair soft and shiny and rocket oil which stimulates hair growth and prevents hair loss.
The shampoo is enhanced with pea extract because it restores hair vitality, coconut vinegar because it neutralizes salts, smoothes the hair and balances the natural pH. I also added baobab powder because it soothes the scalp and makes the hair easy to comb.

Pour the clay or the powder into the baking tray (after you have sterilized it) and spread the material all over the surface of the tray. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius and bake for 1.5 hours. Remove the tray from the oven and allow the clay or the powder to cool down. Put it in a sterilized container.Ensure that the clay or the powder is completely cool before capping.
