How Do You Make Natural Shampoo With Natural Ingredients For Hair Growth And Thickness
Do you wish to have healthy, thick, silky, and shiny hair? But due to the modern lifestyle, stress, poor hair care, and the polluting environment, hair starts to weaken prematurely.
Hair fall is a widespread problem these days. Therefore, girls spend lots of money on hair care products to enhance the life of their hair. Unfortunately, many hair care products in the market contain chemicals that further damage their hair – simply a waste of time and money.
We are sharing a simple herbal hair wash shampoo recipe with you that requires only four natural ingredients and is easy to make at home.
Soap Nut (Reetha)
The soap nut is loaded with iron. Iron helps maintain hair health. It has antioxidants and is naturally antifungal, antibacterial, allergen-free, and very gentle on the hair, scalp, and skin. People have been using it for cleansing hair for hundreds of years.
Here’s one most important thing you need to be aware of. The beneficial cleansing properties of soap nuts are only present in the nut’s hull (aka husk). The seed, the actual nut itself, has no value to offer!
Companies sell whole nuts instead of just usable husks or hulls. So when you buy, remember that only the husk/hull is usable.
Gooseberry (Amala)
It contains antioxidants and has antifungal and antiviral properties, which help prevent fungal infection, dandruff and can improve scalp health. It also enhances hair’s natural color by preventing premature greying of hair.
Acacia Concinna (Shikakai)
It provides shine and softness to hair, makes the hair thicker and stronger, slows down greying of hair, and helps treat dandruff.
Fenugreek Seeds
They contribute to hair growth and help prevent hair loss.
The above four natural ingredients will make your hair strong, long, and thick. This homemade herbal shampoo does not contain any chemicals.
