Method Of Preparation of  Home Made Shampoo

1. Boil 2 litres of water and add tea dust to it, let it boil for 15 minutes – take care not to reduce the amount of water.
2. Strain and cool the water till it is just above warm or 40 degrees celcius
3. Soak all the ingredients overnight – I prefer doing it in a iron wok or utensil
4. In the morning remove the seeds of Reetha and Shikakai
5. Place the vessel on stove and boil the ingredients for 10 minutes using a spoon to slightly crush the ingredients
6.  Strain well and store in a bottle.
7. You can store it in refrigerator for 3 to 6 months and this comes for 12 to 15 washes depending on the length of your hair

How To Use

1. For shoulder length hair – take 100 ml of the home made natural shampoo
2. message on wet scalp and hair thoroughly
3. Then work on the length of your hair and massage for a few minutes.
4. You will not get lather as in chemical shampoos but this natural shampoo will cleanse your hair thoroughly and give shine to your hair

Expert Tips

1. Use the homemade shampoo after bringing it to room temperature if you are refrigerating. You can easily store upto 2 months without refrigeration but I prefer to refrigerate so as not to attract any harmful microbes.
2. All the left over ingredients after straining can be used ground to make a fine paste and used as hair pack before washing your hair
