25 oz. distilled water or spring water
2 oz. liquid soap
2 oz.aloe vera gel
2 tbsp. pectin
20 drops essential oil
Yield: About 29 oz.
Boil the water, then add the soft soap, and let this mixture simmer for about thirty minuets. Dissolve the pectin in 2 to 3 cups of this mixture and stirring thoroughly, making sure no lumps form. Now add the pectin solution, the aloe vera, and the essential oils to the original soap solution and pour it al into a bottle with a spray top. Or divide teh gel between two bottles and keep the reserve bottle in the refrigerator.
After several hours, the hair-wash gel will have thickened and be ready for use. If it isn't thick enough, add a bit more dissolved pectin to it and shake the bottle well. If it has become too thick, add some water. Instead of aloe vera, lavender water can be used.
