Shampoo Slime Recipe
For the shampoo slime recipe – Pour about a half a cup of shampoo into a plastic cup. You can use more shampoo, but it will take longer to develop, and you might want the shampoo to clean your hair later. 🙂
Add a teaspoon of sugar and mix. The shampoo will thicken almost right away. Add a bit more sugar until the mixture clings to the spoon similar to wet slime.
To finish the slime without glue recipe, place the cup into the freezer for at least two hours.
The slime will thicken, but because of the shampoo’s ingredients, it won’t crystallize.
After a few hours, remove the slime from the freezer. Stretch and play with the slime as normal.
This slime will be stickier than traditional slime, but it’s a fun non-glue slime recipe alternative to glue-based slimes. And, it’s cold to the touch, which kids love!
As the slime warms, it will get liquidy again, but you can always pop it back in the freezer and play with it another day.
