Homemade Shampoo Recipe

Rashmi K -
 For centuries, people in India have mostly used various fruits, barks, stems, seeds and leaves to make their own homemade shampoo.  So today we'll see such a homemade shampoo.
This is not a long process, it just needs some planning. Yet to do this every time, before you wash your hair, can put many off.  you cannot make a large batch and store the liquid in the fridge, as it will spoil.

How to use? 

Use as normal shampoo. Wet hair, then massage this homemade shampoo on the scalp, and length of your hair. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and then rinse.  This mix hardly lathers. But it cleans your hair well. It works as anti dandruff and anti hairfall shampoo. 

This shampoo is suitable for all hair types and will not strip the natural oils from your hair. even you can use it for kids also..
This shampoo is a great natural cleanser. Usually, no conditioner is needed, as shikakai is a natural softer and detangler.
All these items are available in Ayurvedic shops or you can purchase it in online.




Ingredients:
Serves: 3

1.  3  Shikakai Pods 
2. 4  Reetha/ soap nuts
3. 15 amla pieces
4. 2 strands dried bringaraj
5. 1 handful dried hibiscus (red)

METHOD:

1. This is the basic ratio, you can adjust the ingredients as desired. 

2. Take reetha, shikakai,amla,bringraj, and hibiscus in a pan, add 750 ml(3 cups) of water and let them soak for about 8 hours.

3. Heat the mix till it starts to boil, reduce the flame, cover and let it simmer for 5-15 minutes. The longer you cook the more concentrated it will become. (add more water if you wish).

4. Switch off the flam Coverer and let it cool. When it comes to room temperature, crush the herbs with your hand.

5. Strain and your homemade shampoo is done.
