If I’m making a small batch, then I’ll use 20grams as 1 part, 80grams will be 4 parts etc, regardless of which ingredient. So 80grams for 4 parts of shikakai, 20grams for 1 part of amla etc. Hi Suranga, sorry my reply is late — I would not recommend the use of any preservatives.
Shikakai lathers, so does soapnut , and most of all arappu (பச்சை அரப்பு தூள், the ground leaves of the “krishna siris” or Albizia amara tree, which is a mimosa relative). A combination of arappu and hibiscus, which is a great natural conditioner, produces very much the experience of a regular shampoo. I have been using this for ages and it gives great results on my hair every time.
PICTORIAL GUIDE TO THE INGREDIENTS
Not nearly as bad as curry leaf but not great either. You CAN grow it if you garden at all, it isn’t hard to grow as an annual. If you have to buy it try Organic India first or Worldwide Botanicals if you can’t find the Organic India. I think Mountain Rose Herbs does stock tulsi sometimes but – no knowledge of the quality.
To that you’re adding hibiscus leaves — fresh or powder? I mean, anything will work, it’s just a question of how effectively. I’d say if you’re working with powders, stay with them. Getting all down to the micro-gram about this honestly is missing one great big reality of the natural world and that’s variability. One batch of hair wash powder to the next, there is variation and I can never tell just how much.
Most People Don’t Need This Fancy Toothbrush Feature. But I Do.
And lancy i used your conditioner recipe using milk cream, cold cream and conditioner today. My hair feels much softer ththough a little frizzy. Lathering is a big one; many look for that visually and by touch-feel and feel reassured by it. Otherwise, it promotes hair growth, curbs hair fall, repairs split ends, combats itchy scalp, is anatural dye, and strengthens your hair. It doesn’t necessarily stain when you wash your hair and hardly have it for a few minutes – but do a patch test.
It’s only flowers as it’s the only thing we can find here. That’s 2tsp shikakai powder, 3/4 tsp hibiscus flowers, 1/2tsp each of soapnuts, amla and tulsi. I add boiling water to make a liquid-y mixture which I put in a soft sauce bottle to help apply it to my hair evenly.
What to know about shampoo ingredient terms
These powders were then mixed together with a little bit of water to turn them into a paste. These pastes were carefully applied and lathered on the hair to make them fabulous. Let us go back to our grandma’s secret potion to turn our hair from drab to fab and end the vicious cycle of consumerism. Always remember, Mother Nature has the solution to every problem – as they say “Old is Gold”. If you’re repurposing hibiscus from teabags, you may as well leave the stuff out. If you’re wanting vettiver for just the fragrance then adding some essential oil does the trick.
The average hair detox will cost around $25 and will take about 45 minutes. Ingredients that end with sulfate or sulfonate tend to be in deep cleansing products, which can be harsh for damaged or delicate hair, if used too frequently. Don’t backtrack on all that progress by diving back into your routine. Hair damage from processing and heat comes from stretching your hair beyond what it’s used to, making it more porous and harder to maintain. Spread generously throughout hair, applying on the scalp as well. If your skin looks fine after 24 hours, carry on.
Deepa thank you for giving such a nice product. Please let me know I which quantity I have to mix them. … this was a tough one for me though it may make lots of people very happy, since my earlier system of measuring by “parts” was apparently confusing. Just to clarify, a “part” can be anything you choose–a cup or a spoonful or a bucket. The intent there was to allow you to scale up your recipe without needing to compute anything. All ingredients were, after all, added in proportion to all others.
You’ll want to make sure that ALL ingredients are perfectly sun-dried to a crisp. This can be tricky with the soapnut, which takes longer to dry and more easily returns to a leathery hard-to-grind state. You could solve that problem by just buying soapnut powder, of course.
You can make shikakai shampoo easily at home. Soak shikakai and deseeded reetha in water overnight. Boil them with the same water in the next day morning.
Henna helps hair in numerous ways and is widely used in hair care. However, if you have lighter hair, it might stain your hair. It is perfect when you want to rejuvenate your hair, promote healthy growth, and curb hair fall. You can use rice water along with water or use rice water to make a paste. This makes hair softer and prevents drying. Divide your hair into two sections and apply the paste all over your scalp and your hair thoroughly.
Continue conditioning with nutrient-rich conditioners — full of vitamins and free of sulfates and parabens — oils, and hair butter to seal the moisture in. Get regular trims to keep the ends healthy. While we’re on the topic your scalp, invest in wide-toothed combs and a scalp scrubber. Use the wide-toothed comb for dry hair, working from the hair roots to tip. You can also apply oil before shampooing to help lubricate the hair shaft. This helps prevent damage during the shampoo and drying processes.
Then you wet your hair, and either massage the paste into your scalp (if it’s thick), making sure to apply it down the length of your hair. If it’s a thinner paste, pour it over your hair and then massage and rinse as you would a regular shampoo. Ideally, you leave this in for a few minutes and then rinse off.
