My hair’s description: straight, kinky-curly, wavy, frizzy, super-thick, so finding a shampoo is tough.
(If you haven’t gotten your 24% discount on all oils and oil-infused products like this shampoo, click here: Young Living Starter Kit)
Finding a shampoo that doesn’t make me look like a drowned rat is nothing short of a miracle.
First Try
Upon trying this shampoo, I didn’t know it was concentrated.
Yes! Concentrated shampoo–I’d never even heard of that! I wondered why it came in such a small bottle!
I used it full force, and I looked like I didn’t even dry my hair after spending 20 minutes under the blow dryer!
I just figured this shampoo didn’t work for me because it’s always been hard to find shampoo anyway. I chalked it up to bad luck and moved on.
Until…
The Light
I started seeing dilution recipes everywhere in my different Young Living communities on Facebook, and it hit me: the shampoo is concentrated!
There was hope after all!
I had been using a shampoo that was rated well on EWG, but the smell was so strong, I knew something couldn’t be 100% trustworthy.
Dilution
If you hover over this photo below with the directions, you can Pin it for later!
You can do this with or without the baking soda in case you’re soda sensitive.
Using the Mixture
If you haven’t moved past the whole toxin-free stuff isn’t as sudsy thing yet, this might be an adjustment for you, but I find I can get some suds if I pour a little out and try to lather it in my hands first.
I also have so much hair that I need to think about my hair in sections.
I pour a little (size of a quarter) out and wash the top of my head and crown. Then a little more for the sides. Even more for underneath/bottom of my scalp. Then finally a bit more to do the length.
Told ya-lots of hair.
Results
It’s just like using any other shampoo, except I’m avoiding all the toxins!
My hair feels great, looks normal, and is healthy!
The best part is that this lasts and lasts in such a smaller bottle.
When I used toxic shampoos, I’d buy 32 oz. shampoos and fly through them in a few months. It took up so much space in my shower, which I really don’t have to spare, and it was frustrating to always use so much product.
What Do Other People Think?
I help admin. a group on Facebook of now almost 16,000 people {both members and non}, who weigh in on Young Living’s products every day, so I thought I’d include some of the thoughts I read there to help round out your view on this product.
- “I use it all the time and conditioner, love how soft my treated hair is.”
- “Cut down on the amount! I only use like a dime size amount.”
- “You may find… your hair/scalp detoxing due to being a different pH, chemical free etc.”
- “Depending on where you’re located if you have hard water it makes a huge difference…”
- “The lavender mint because it keeps my color perfect! And it smells and feels delicious.”
- “That’s the thing with Young Living products ;they don’t have those extra chemicals in them that make the foam.”
- “Diluted and found if I put the soap in my hand, rub it around, then drench my hair it lathers better.”
- “Love this shampoo… !!! My hair is shiny and manageable… love the scent in the morning… really gets me going! “
- “This shampoo and conditioner!! I have long dry hair, and my hair feels so nice and soft and yes you use much less; it’s very concentrated.”
Final Thoughts
Buying concentrated shampoo is basically buying shampoo in bulk but without the storage issues that comes with the typical bulk buying.
I love it!
The best part of all of it {besides being an easy and cost-effective way to live toxin-free} is that I got it all for 24% discount and received 25% back on this purchase to put toward whatever I need to buy next with something called Essential Rewards.
This is something my grocery store would never offer. Add in sketchy products and navigating the aisles with two little boys, and it just doesn’t make sense for me to lug home the huge, chemical-filled bottles anymore.

- Dish Soap and/or Dishwasher Detergent is another fantastic swap to keep toxins off your plates and out of your bodies!
