Does anyone make their own soap or shampoo?

Weird question, I know, but I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative to all natural hair and body care.

I've made my own moisturizers and lotions, but not soaps and shampoos.

For shampoos I kinda did a halfway thing. I start with Neutrogena Clean shampoo (you can use baby shampoo if you rather) and an extra bottle to mix in. Make a shampoo with 50% shampoo, 45% lavender tea, and 5% oil blend as follows:

jojoba oil (or other oil that's good for hair), add wild chamomile oil (cheaper than roman and works as well), lemon oil, and rosemary oil. If you mix 1 ounce jojoba oil, then use 3 drops each of the essential oils in the mix. Then add to the shampoo. You might have some left over, that's okay. It'll keep til the next batch or you can use it for a hot oil treatment in between.

This works as a great cleansing conditioning 2-in-1 shampoo. It's good for dry or itchy scalp or oily hair or scalp. You don't need a lot and it's very watery. I never needed a separate conditioner when I used this and my hair was really long then.
