Wondering how to make homemade chili shampoo? The first thing you should be clear about is that although it is possible to make this shampoo yourself, it is not recommended. Chili is still a very spicy ingredient that, if not used in the right amounts, can cause a lot of itching and burning on the scalp.

If you look at it, all the chili shampoos on the market are made from very little chili and higher amounts of rosemary and hawthorn, among other substances. These plants have numerous properties that also help to promote the opening of the capillary pores, so they are also beneficial for hair growth.
