Hey, just a suggestion we use soapnuts since our childhood in India and also in the united states.Initially we don’t wet our hair we use soapnut water directly for the first and rub it in taking partitions all over the head then rinse off and repeat till we get froth.The thing is soapnuts don’t produce froth untill the dirt is gone.For conditioning add Fenugreek seeds in the water not too much about 1tsp.Try to soak them in hot water before bathing and let it cool down and when it is warm then use it.Still we need to see what works for us :)

Am so grateful to my mom. Ever since my childhood she washed my hair with soap nuts (coz every indian uses ). My hair used to be longer and thicker compared to my whole class. But at that time i didn't cared much coz am just a kid. From past like 10yrs i have been using shampoos and my hair is in very bad condition, it's so thin and lots of hair loss and all.

I started using soapnuts in 2015 in our laundry because my son had really bad eczema. After 3 months, his skin cleared up, the detergent just needed time to leave our clothes. I used every kind of natural detergent and all of them irritated him. I soak them for 5 -10 minutes and drop them in. Love these things, going to try the hair, thanks.

Never use a glass jar in the shower or bath. I have a 6” scar on my leg from when I was 14 and glass slipped through my hands. Maybe use a plastic one with a squeeze tube. Also maybe just use a conditioner on the ends for less fly always?

Yes, when glass breaks it can be quite dangerous. However, glass is basically the best thing out there for clean storage. The way to safely use glass in the shower is to use one of those silicone wrap things like they put on water bottles, or use a bamboo bottle carrying/holder thing, or keep your bottles set on a shower bench and just pump as needed. Alternatively, do that more minimalist clean look, when I’m wet I pick up my glass bottles with a wash cloth. Helps with adding some traction.

I've been no poo for many years. And I've found certain water-based products I like to use. I consider a vinegar rinse a must (distilled water with distilled white vinegar brought to a pH of about 4) I'll use it about once a month. This is the most minimalist method. If I use nothing else, I use at least this. The distilled water removes the impurities from my tap water, and so prevents that hard waxy feeling. And the vinegar restores the acid mantle on my hair, and so leaves my sebum thin, smooth, and soft. It's great. But it's very strong on the scalp, so once a month is enough. The rest of the time, I like to clarify after the shower with only distilled water. But I also like herbal rinses and more recently rice water. They also have a good pH and removes impurities form my tap, so I don't use the vinegar rinse if I'm using stuff like this. There are so many options tbh.

Raw and real!!! Thanks for the idea and the honesty! Definitely going to try this!

Hey, If you smash these nuts and put it in warm water then it will be similar to a shampoo (gives lot of foam). The seed (inside part) also acts as a soap. You just need to put them in hot water and just before bath warm it up again (if it is cold). That is how my mother taught me to use and it works flawlessly.

Hahaha I totally know what you mean. I am Spanish and have made many "tortillas de patatas" (Spanish potato omelette). To cook the top side, you have to put a plate on top of the pan and flip the pan and plate simultaneously so that the tortilla ends upside down on the plate, then you scoop it back into the pan to cook the other side. I have done this so many times without failing. The minute I tried to show my (Scottish) boyfriend how to do it ... well... you guessed it.... our whole kitchen counter and floor ended up covered with half-cooked egg and potato. Needless to say, the dog was very happy!

As someone with unruly, curly hair these soap nuts are incredible! I use a bowl with soap nut water diluted/ topped up with warm water. I dip my head in, massage the scalp with a scalp brush and leave for 5 minutes and then pour the remaining liquid over my head, squish it in then rinse. If you want a natural conditioner marshmallow root works very well, it can be boiled up and used as either a rinse, leave in or as a deep conditioner mask.

Her expression is very welcoming! I have been making all kinds of shampoo, soaps, and so unhappy I am ready to try this!!

I haven't found any chemical free method that works. I might try these soapnuts but as I said, I don't really want my hair to become fluffy! I have zero problems with fatty scalp, I can go for weeks without washing and it NEVER gets oily! The scalp gets waxy though if I would go that long without washing, but never oily. My hair strands seem to always have the scales on them standing out, if you understand what I mean? I have never been able to run my fingers through my hair, not even when I used to use products with silicones!! But now it's just horrible! I have been without silicones for about 1 1/2 years and trying to find something that works but with no luck. I have to cut everything off soon if I don't find anything that works. The problem is also that in order to be able to even comb it through I have had to use MCT-oil. Then iI t feels so much better..but then it's way more difficult to clean plus I think that even if the oil makes it feel better for the moment, I have a sneaking suspicion that it makes it worse over time. My hair just gets more and more like chewing gum. Help!🤪🤣

you don't need to dry the used berries, just put them in a jar in the freezer...right along with the flax seeds. you may want to add another T. of flax seeds for your next batch, just to make sure you will be getting a good gel with your second batch of shampoo.

Hi, I've been using soapnuts for hair for years. I'm not Indian but I tried and I liked it. I freeze the soapnuts liquid in an ice cube tray, and I use a special bottle to apply it. I also don't wet my hair before applying. Lately I've been washing my face with soapnuts too, they are very mild but get the job done. The only issue is not being able to use any styling products because of buildup. Anyone uses a heat protectant that is soapnuts friendly? Or a straightening conditioner?

@vartika.bhagat

I don’t think styling products could be used with soapnuts, they were used in times when there were no extra hair products, not even conditioners- I prefer not using heat on my hair , but soap nut hair are quite strong enough and have a film over the cuticle . Oiling is the way we Indians have ingrained- so it’s the best way of conditioning our hair. Personally I don’t like oil on scalp, so i take 1-2 drops of light oil(coconut, almond,jojoba, sesame ) and run my hand through fine straight hair ends - works exactly like conditioner . Try heatless ways of hairstyling if possible, to keep hair healthy.

Just came across your video looking up soap nuts. Are you still using this method for washing your hair without poo?

Have you tried mixing camellia seed powder with water as shampoo?

I wonder if you tried just a teaspoon of linseed oil (which is flax oil), cos it must be the oil that nourishing your hair.

Were did you buy the soap nuts from I didn't see it on you subscription

One question. Does flax seed will get the hair sticky? Just wondering.

Trying it right now, I'm so dang excited!!! 🤩 YES to a chemical free life ❤️ thank you so much for sharing and putting in all that that research. It makes me completely trust that this is worth giving a go. Going to give it my best! Let's see how it goes 😊
