Make your Own Gugo Shampoo

My mom has been living green for quite some time and have finally dispatched the use of shampoo and conditioner from her toiletries - but not without green replacement of course! She makes Gugo Shampoo, which is from the Gugo bark. Gugo is like the ancient native shampoo. Ask the old people and they know just what it is. My mom says that it softens hair and makes it shiny and healthy and that it even removes dandruff!



It's fairly easy to make and here's what you will need:

1 Gugo bark
Bowl of Water (size of bowl is completely up to you)
Old shampoo bottle/s
1 Kalamansi/ Philippine Lemon (per shampoo bottle)
1/2 tsp. vinegar (per shampoo bottle)

What to do:

Put Gugo bark into bowl of water and just leave it there for 30 minutes. At 30 minutes, you'll see that it's all lathered up. Transfer to shampoo bottles. Add juice of one squeezed Kalamansi/Philippine lemon and half a teaspoon vingear (any kind you have) per bottle. 

Usage:

Wet hair and massage into scalp. Rinse. 


My verdict:

I've been so used to using commercial shampoo that lathers up that this one didn't seem right at first but I have reason to believe that it might just be effective just as they say. I have a sensitive scalp, if a shampoo or conditioner does not work for me, I'd be sure to have dandruff in a couple of hours. And with the hot, hot weather here, I was half-expecting I would be itching up. But it turned out to be the opposite! 

My hair is soft, manageable and dandruff-free! Surprise, surprise!

CAUTION: Avoid contact with eyes.
