Natural Hair Care

So I have been experimenting with natural hair products. I made my own shampoo. Here is what I did.
1) I picked some rose petals, rosemary and sage. I placed these in a mason jar
2) I boiled one cup distilled water
3) I added the boiled water to the herbs and allowed it to set until the water cooled.
4) I strained the water and put it into a squeeze bottle or you could use an old shampoo bottle with a pump.
5) I added three ounces castile soap, 1/2 teaspoon of almond oil, 10 drops organic tea tree essential oil, 10 drops organic lavender essential oil.
6) Shake it up before each use. I keep mine in the shower. I suppose you could keep it in the refrigerator to prolong shelf life.

This shampoo has kept my hair clean and itch free for about a week so far. I am liking it very much.

Then I needed a conditioner. So upon investigating and researching online, I decided to use a apple cider vinegar rinse after I shampoo. I mixed half organic apple cider vinegar with half amount of distilled water. I wet my hair and scalp with this mixture and allowed it to sit until I was done bathing then rinsed it out. I used Braggs apple cider vinegar. My hair was so soft and manageable after using the vinegar rinse that it beat the hair masks I was using from the store. I would have never thought this would work, but to my surprise it does!!! Happy Washing!!

OUR NEWEST ADDITIONS TO THE GOAT HERD

This is Ellie. She is a registered alpine milk goat. She is five years old and is a great looking little goat. I am so happy she will be with us. I will hopefully milk more milk to use in my cheese and soaps.

This is Goober. He was given to us recently. He is really stinky, but all male goats are. Hopefully he will do his job and make us some cute kids with Bandit and Baby! I will be hoping for blue eyes.
