Organic Soap Nut Powder - 8oz (100% Natural, Chemical-Free) - Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Alternative for Sensitive Skin & Baby Clothes

I love this soap nuts powder so much! :)I have been using it as my shampoo for over a year now and its nothing short of amazing! :)I have hard water,and this powder works wonders for me! :)*This soap nuts powder has something in it called saponin,saponin is derived from nature (from soap nut berries. The part that is used though,is the hard shell surrouding the berry,not the berry itself :)saponin is very good at cleaning hair and clothes. it's very gentle and won't strip your hair of it's natural and necessary oils. its very good and nutritious for the hair,it's nature's shampoo and soap! :)What I do is I take about 3 cups of hot water, and add to it a great 3 or 4 heaping tablespoonfuls of the powder.I use this amount, and it works for me. I have very long waist length hair.You may need more or less of the powder,depending on how long your hair is,and how strong you want the mixture to be.I stir it around,and let it cool down a bit to lukewarm temperature.I then take a coffee grounds strainer, and I filter out the water,separating it from the soap nut powder bits (kind of like a "hair tea", that's what I actually call it too,my hair tea ;)When I have the all the bits of the powder separated from the water,I pour the hair tea water into an old shampoo bottle. I use this hair tea as my shampoo in the shower.**Just a note: the water will be brown when you make the hair tea,but it's supposed to look like that,and it's very clean :)Just PLEASE BE CAREFUL! The liquid burns so bad if you get it into your eyes! And it tastes so bad if it drips near your mouth! It's bad for the stomach if accidentally swallowed! It's very runny if you make the hair tea the way I described,so you want to lean your head far back as you apply it to your hair. Let it sit at least 5 minutes,and then rinse it out completely just like you would any store bought shampoo :)It is soooooo much better than regular shampoos! :)It's natural, and it makes my hair very soft and clean! :)(I just use a little bit of conditioner for the ends of my hair, after I rinse out the hair tea,as my hair has always been very dry on the ends)I love this soap nuts powder and highly recommended it! :)(I have Caucasian hair, I'm 25% Native American,but my hair is more on the Caucasian side,not surprisingly ;)my hair is wavy and thick,prone to get oily at the top,and prone to dryness at the bottom half.Washing my hair with my special "tea" 2 times a week helps to tame the oilyness,but still without stripping my hair,and it doesn't make the bottom half of my hair any more dry :) I do still use conditioner on the bottom of my hair.Peace :)
