Egg and Orange Shampoo

Submitted by mersaydees

"For all hair types. This recipe is based on one from Marion Mathews’ and Renske Mann’s book, Hair Magic. You will need muslin for this. Prep time includes the 15 minutes the soapwort root infuses; cook time is the time you leave it on your hair after massaging it in. Note: this recipe has "valerian root" until the food.com elves add "soapwort root"; please use soapwort root and not valerian root! I will update the recipe when the ingredient is added."
