Homemade Copycat Aveda Shampure Shampoo Recipe

Do you love the scent and cleaning power of Aveda’s Shampure Shampoo? So do I! However, it can be a tad pricey. Now, you can buy the real thing or make this copycat shampoo recipe for a fraction of the price. Whatever you decide, your hair will be fresh and clean smelling!

Notes:

● I have no idea if this is safe for color treated hair – and by safe, that means I have no idea if it will strip or dull the processed color in your hair. Ask your stylist if these ingredients are safe for color treated hair.

● As with all scents, some people will love this, some people will not. I’ve read reviews where people have not enjoyed the scent of the Aveda Shampure Shampoo, and that always mystified me as I love the smell! Well, to each her own.

● All the essentials oils are recommended between 5 and 10 drops. You can adjust as you like the scent or dislike the scent. If you like the mixture and want a lighter scent, use 5 drops of each. If you really like the mixture, add 10 drops of each! Before you make this the first time you may want to consider adding all the essential oils in a different bowl starting with 5 drops each. See if you like that, and adjust according to your personal scent preference.

● Assuming I did the math correctly (double check yourself!) the cost for 8 ounces of the copycat formula is $4 if you use the full 10 drops for each essential oil listed (less if you use 5 drops) vs about $20 for the real thing.
