Put it through a patch test. If you're utilizing an essential oil for the first time, you should do this to rule out any allergic reactions. Performing a patch test entails: Blend one-half teaspoon (3 ml) of carrier oil like jojoba, almond, or walnut oil with three drops of the desired oil. Just below your elbow, apply a few drops on the inside forearm. Put a bandage over it to keep it covered. Don't remove the bandage or wash the area for at least 48 hours. After that time, take off the application to look for signs of irritation, including redness, itching, blisters, or swelling. You probably aren't allergic to it if you don't experience any of these things after using the oil in your shampoo. Essential oils such as basil, camphor, cinnamon, clove, eucalyptus, lavender, lemongrass, thyme, nutmeg, peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, wintergreen, and sage should not be used around children under the age of 12. Essential oils can irritate the eyes and should be avoided at all costs. Assemble your resources. It takes more than just shampoo and your preferred essential oil to make an aromatic shampoo. Get a dark glass or plastic bottle with a secure top, several measuring cups, funnels, and tiny mixing bowls. Light, heat, and air can degrade the scent and therapeutic effects of essential oils, so be sure to keep your shampoo and oil blends in the dark bottle with a secure cover. After using shampoo or essential oils, always replace the lid securely. It is recommended that concentrated oils and blends be kept in glass containers due to the potential for some essential oils to damage plastics. Measure out some shampoo. Twenty drops of essential oil every 1/2 cup (120 ml or 4 oz) of shampoo is a decent rule of thumb. Remove a suitable quantity of shampoo from the bottle and transfer it there. Before pouring the shampoo into the mixing bottle, insert the funnel into the opening. [5] 
If you haven't made your own shampoo before, it's best to start with half a cup (120 ml or 4 oz) in case you don't like the fragrance or effect of the oils you use. Determine the number of drops of oil to use based on the volume of the shampoo container in ounces or milliliters. You can add oils straight to the bottle of shampoo if you're putting the same oils into the entire bottle. Blend the oils together. Twenty drops of oil, either a combination of oils or a single oil, should be combined in a small dish. Blend the oils together by stirring or swirling the bowl, and then take a whiff to see whether you like the result. Always remember to use more oil than shampoo. To fill a typical shampoo bottle (which typically holds between 355 and 473 milliliters or 12 to 16 ounces) with essential oils, you'll need between 60 and 80 drops of oil. Put in the oils and mix well. When you are satisfied with your essential oil blend, add it to the shampoo in the mixing bottle. To prevent waste, use the funnel. You'll need a long, skinny spoon or stir stick to reach all the way into the container in order to mix the oils into the shampoo. If you'd prefer not to do that, just give it a little shake. To ensure that the shampoo's oils are evenly distributed, shake the bottle before each use.
