I tried the shampoo for the first time last week. I could scream for joy my hair were so soft. I even oiled my scalp beforehand and it washed everything out which I didn't expect. Normally my hair gets a little greasy after 4 days but even on day 6 it still looked great and my scalp felt good. I'm never going back to that commercial crap. Big thumbs up!

I felt the same way the first time I tried it. It feels so soft and from my experience it takes away any itchiness that I use to get from store bought shampoos. I just love it. I am so glad you are enjoying it too.

@@thewhippingwhisk553were the soap nuts you used dry or fresh ones with a honey-like residue

I never thought of the foam soap dispenser, that is a super cool idea

I created a version of this where I make 2c rice water first, then boil it with hibiscus flowers, ginger, rosemary, and soap nuts. I let it cool, then added 1/2 mature kombucha (you can use ACV instead but the booch is even better), 1 tsp organic guar gum, 1 tsp castor oil, 1/2 c epsom salt (if you want it for curly or wavy hair) and about 30 drops of lemongrass essential oil. I've put it in a large condiment bottle, which works fine, but I like the whipped version better. Either way works great, and the added benefit of the rice water, kombucha (or ACV), and herbs is amazing.

Love this video... I allready used soap nuts about 9 or 10 yrs ago and made all purpose spray from them. I boiled the nuts, then simmer, when cooled down a little, I mixed it with a blender, then put the mix through a sieve, and then again through a cloth... put it in a spraying bottle, adding (ethanol) 80% alcohol as a preservative and essential oils, and also the oils work as a preservative, and store it in the fridge and lasts for a while, doesn't go bad. It cleans very well ... smells nice. I like the way you make a sort of creamy stuff from it to use it as a shampoo... and also use it as a floor cleaner :-) you can do several cleaning things with this. 💕

You can go for a mixed version, Aamla Shikakai Reetha (soap nut) Do your research based on the ratio, how much of which herb is better. I've been using it for almost a year now and Trust me it really cleans the hair and scalp. Since it's been a long time I've forgotten the quantity of each hence you should check it once.

Could I add some drops of essential oil before foaming it? Because you need a carrier oil for essential oils. I'm just getting into natural hair care and I have to say, I love your recipe. The soap nuts are even on my stove right now and are simmering

@thewhippingwhisk553

Ай бұрын

Yes, you can add essential oils if you like. Some oils may be irritating to the scalp so I would advise you to do some research to find which ones would be suitable. I would only add a few drops to a cup of shampoo and foam up the liquid. Only foam it up right before you wash your hair because the foam slowly turns back to liquid after it sits for a while. I am glad you enjoyed the video!

You say to keep in fridge. If kept in the shower or on the kitchen counter, would it hold for 5 days to a week, or will it go bad? Also, is it possible to freeze once cooled for a longer life? I’m one person, so even making half the amount sounds like a lot. Thank you for this video! I’ve been looking into soap nuts as I’ve been reacting to just about any soap/shampoo and for about a year found a product made with soapberries that worked until they recently changed the formula, so decided to look into making the soap myself. This looks fantastic!

There are no preservatives in the soapnut liquid. This will cause it to spoil if left out. I only take the amount I need right before I shower. You can leave it out for a day on the counter if you plan on using the whole amount the same day. Yes, you can freeze the soapnut liquid. Freezing in ice cube trays is a great way to portion out your liquid. Just warm it up to body temperature before use and foam it up for ease of application. I was buying soapnut shampoo as well but found it very expensive and some ingredients did not agree with me so I started making my own. Hope this helps.

@thewhippingwhisk553

Thank you for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video. You can wash you clothes at any temperature although when using whole soapnuts in you laundry warmer temperature works best. That's is why I like to use the liquid that way you can control how much liquid you add. If you squeeze the soapnuts and they are still foamy after washing them they are still usable. For the floors you do not need to rinse your floors. For the surfaces, especially where you prepare food I would rinse. I treat it like a soap. Always rinse after soap. I make a fresh batch of liquid every 7 -10 days so I never have to worry about it going bad. It will smell bad if it gets old. Best to freeze the rest if you cannot use it up in a week. Freezing will not harm the soap or its function. Soapnuts are great for laundry but I would pretreat any stains that you have. I will be making a video soon about using soapnuts in the laundry for the best results. Hope that helps
