Have you made your own homemade shampoo before? I've switched to making my own for a few of us in our household. My favorite is one I found from the book "Just the Essentials" it's a great book on ways to use essential oils around your house and to be more chemically free in the process. I'd say it's a must read if you are looking for a way to start swapping out your household cleaners/hair care and more for a more natural approach.
While there are many homemade shampoo ideas out there, one thing I feel has worked well is investing in some foaming soap pumps. Have you seen these yet or tried them? They save you so much on soap. As I said we use the shampoo Adina listed in her book, we were struggling with some dandruff and her recipe worked great! But, it was hard to not get too much shampoo and then not be able to wash it out. I found these foaming soap pumps and they made all the difference. In order for the pump to work it needed a little more liquid, so I doubled the recipe + added about 1/3 cup of water. With just 1-2 pumps that's all we need for shampoo. Plus it makes our shampoo last longer, which saves money.
The nice thing about this set of foaming soap pumps is it comes in a pack of two. I put one in our girls' bathroom for their hand soap. I also added water to it as well. I've made my own hand soap, but also have used Myers hand soap. I start with filling about 1/3 of the bottle with soap and then the rest with water. I haven't replaced it in forever!
So whether you are making your own shampoo or looking for ways to save on shampoo or soap, I hope this post helps.
