Tools and materials:
- Soapnuts
- Shikakai pods
- Dried amla
- Fenugreek seeds
- A pot
- Ice cube tray
1. Take 4-5 soapnuts and crush them in a bowl
2. Add the other ingredients
Add 6-8 shikakai pods, 8-10 dried amla and 1 tablespoon of fenugreek seeds. Then, mix all the ingredients together.
3. Add 4 cups of water
Then, mix it again and leave it to soak overnight.
4. Simmer the herbs
In the morning, pot the mixture into a pot and simmer the herbs on low fire for 10-15 minutes. After that, put a lid on the pot and let it sit until it cools down completely.
5. Strain the shampoo through a cloth
Make sure to squeeze all of the liquid out: there should be quite a lot of foam at this point.
6. Pour the shampoo onto the scalp
Massage it in and leave it in for 5 minutes, then rinse off.
7. Freeze the rest of the shampoo mix
Pour the rest of the soapnut shampoo mix into an ice cube tray and freeze it.
When you decide to use the shampoo, dilute 3-4 ice cubes in water and wash your hair.
You will be able to use the shampoo next time you shower, or whenever you prefer. The shelf life of the ice cubes is up to 2 months and shampoo itself can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
