- Hey guys!
I hope you enjoyed this video! Comment down below if you'd like to see a video on other ways I use soapnuts!
Here is where I sourced the soap nuts:

this practice is ancient, my grandpa rafael is quechua from peru and he used this plant (in peru we call it chururo) to wash his hair and body, and he had thick, voluminous hair until he died.
And he would have had thick volumenous hair even after washing with regular shampoo. It's genetic.
@@chrisking6695 nah cuz my grandpa (rafael is my great grandpa) uses regular shampoo and is bald asf
I have been washing my hair with soap nuts for 6 months. Haven’t had a haircut in that time. No split ends and my hair is now curly! My original motivation was to cut down on plastic use, but it has been an all around win.
I am curious to know if you store it in the freezer as well or if you make it every time you wash your hair. And after making the shampoo do you use the nuts for other purposes or to make more shampoo?? Thanks!
@@JustAnamValentina I make a batch of soap nuts water and freeze that in cubes. I use it for other things. When I make shampoo, I brew up a batch of hibiscus tea and sometimes throw in other herbs and fenugreek. I strain it into a mason jar and add a cube or two of frozen soap nuts. If you’ve never washed your hair with warm shampoo, you’ve been missing out . Feels great. Anyway, I store the extra in the fridge for a couple more washes. I wash my hair every 3 days.
@@lanetower3411 🙏🏻Thank you so much! Grazie mille
@@JustAnamValentina// the shampoo will keep for quite a while, as you are adding essential oils. i would use lavender, lemongrass and lemon. and you can cook it down a bit longer to make it thicker. but not necessary. it's great stuff, doesn't dry hair. i have zero split ends, and my hair is silky and shiny. you can use the leftover nuts for making more shampoo, or dish soap. i use mine for both shampoo and dish soap. really mild on the hands...for dish soap.
Wow, this is such a good video. Straight to the point. I like to use one item for multiple uses, so this is perfect. Plus environmentally friendly - a cherry on the cake. Using syringe to fill the bottle - genius!
kudos to you young lady! I'm a GenX hippy and bought my first bag of soap nuts 5 years ago. We were on a farm and I wanted all natural laundry cleaner. Recently came across another vid to make this formula for hair and i LOVE it. I was already using a shampoo soap bar so i'm pretty used to only using a single product on my hair. I keep mine in a gin bottle in the shower and we love it, although it can be a bit cold to use, haha. I can't get my genZ daughters to switch over... yet. I use a bit of sweet almond oil in my mix, and euc oil in laundry mix. I usually make a big batch (about 4l, splitting between laundry and bathroom use).
One more and more effective method- soak 3-4soapnuts with 1 spoon of fenugreek overnight in 3 cups of water, bring to boil until it thickens a Lil, you can strain it and use it or you can blend them, strain the thick shampoo and use it. It conditions hair too.
You can combine soapnuts with shikakai&amla, amla, hibiscus, flax seeds, etc.
Does it have to be oils to blend it or do we use the powders? I want to make my own shampoo but don’t want it too thin
@@uniqueorganicshaircare9880 if you want then add 1-2 spoon of coconut oil otherwise blending and then straining ingredients make it thicker.
Tysm
Queen Khalifa Adding oils defeats the purpose imo. I use hibiscus tea ( buy a big batch of Jamaica loose tea at 99 c store) to give it a little slip and fantastic smell. I’ve gotten used to the thinness. Don’t scrub. It tangled and tears your hair anyway.
@@immathechopsticksthatjinal5441 Can you make a big batch and keep it so you don't have to make it every time you wash your hair?
@@zeehuss7275 yes, you can pressure can it (there are videos here in UA-cam) then open when you need to.
This is actually so cool! I love when I actually learn something new
Thanks Shannon! Let me know if you try it out 😌
Thanks a lot❤️ I like how you made this simple unlike other videos about making soapnut shampoo👌
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
This recipe sounds nuts. Badumptissss
Did you actually do a video on other soap nut uses? Would be great to see it from you in your quick and easy, straight to the point, way! Thanks! You earned a new subscriber 😜
This is awesome! Just picked up soap nuts and I'm excited to try them out. I've just decided to ditch shampoo this week so here goes...
Amazing! Let me know how you get on with them!
Great video. Does this need to be stored in a refrigerator? How long can it stay without being spoily?
Good video☆
Fantastic thank you !!!
Great video . What else I can use soapnuts for ?
I started using soapnut+ shikakai a few months ago and I can see the difference in my hair, they are more silky and shiny.
I don't boil it though. I just soak the powder in a little bit of water when I wake up and I add more hot/warm water right before washing my hair so that it doesn't feel uncomfortably cold
how you do the powder?
You can use a coffee grinder and turn your soap, nuts into powder. After you take them out of the coffee grinder sift through a strainer so all the powder will land into a bowl.. the bigger chunks won’t go through the strainer. You’ll just end up with a powder.
2.5 cups water and 5-6 soapnuts boil and mash . Freeze to preserve
It’s also amazing foliage spray for plants aswell as mix wirh the plant nutrients you water them with the make the watering on top of soil really get in the soil better it’s used for lice aswell and tons of other uses for this berry plus u can take the pits and grow your own soap ur trees
amazing video
Super nice 👍
Would love to see how else you use soapnuts! Do you condition your hair too? X
Love this!! How often do you wash your hair? Do you do any apple cider vinegar rinses or do you just use the soap nuts?? Thanks!!
I usually wash my hair once a week but since lockdown it's been more like every 9 or so days haha! Yeah :) I use apple cider vinegar rinse, it makes my hair feel so soft!! I also put coconut oil on the ends every now and then if I feel like my hair is a bit dry :)
Hi, great video how many times can I re use the nuts?
For hair, just once. I have tried it.
So helpful! Thank you! 😁 I use soapnuts as well its THE BEST!!
They're great aren't they! They're so inexpensive and you can use them for so many things!
Hi nice video
can you use it for body wash too?
So you are tellong me i can grow this and live in the woods on a tree house AND be clean???
It depends what country you live in, but essentially yeah! That sounds like the dream life haha!
Mine always turns dark brown. Any ideas why that is and if it cleans as well?
Can we use it to facial wash?
Hi, do you make this shampoo in batches or every time you’re about to wash your hair? I’m considering soapnut as shampoo but boiling the soapnut everytime seems tedious to me. Thanks😊
I freeze leftover solution in ice cube trays.
I make the shampoo in batches! Depending on how often you wash your hair depends on how long you can store it for. So if you wash your hair every day/every other day then you can probably just put it in the fridge and it won't go bad. But if you wash your hair once a week (like I do) I've noticed it goes cloudy if you leave it too long, so I think it's a great idea to put them into ice cube trays and freeze them and take them out when you need them :)
Does this remove oil from scalp?
Does it make the hair greasy in the beginning?
i found these at mardens for laundry
thanks
Do you still use it?
Does the shampoo need to be refrigerated?
she knows her stuff regarding SLS. stay away from it, as she says. it's a petroleum product that you do not want on your skin, or in your body...i've been buying my soapnut shampoo for a long time, and i've decided now i want to make my own. so simple, and no big plastic bottle to put into the landfill. thank you for the video.
Mam how do u wash the hair? u have not added shikakai ..does this remove oil..kindly clarify
I got psoriasis a few months after using this. My hair fell out a lot. Before Soapnut, I used to use organic shampoo, but after this situation, I haven’t used organic shampoo because I have a lot of dandruff on my scalp. Market shampoo is better for me now. Have you had the same problem? I can't find any information anywhere.
The problem has been solved by adding two teaspoons of flax seed to my soapnut shampoo. 😊
@@muazzezcetin3885 can you tell me the exact recipe with flaxseeds
Hi, how long does the shampoo last once you’ve bottled it? Do you keep it in the fridge or just at room temp?
You can put wherever you want as it is totally natural...it will last forever....but better to keep in bathroom so you wont miss that for using as shampoo.!
In my experience, it goes bad at room temperature in a few days. If it smells wrong or gets cloudy, I use it to wash toilet. I freeze extra solution and keep shampoo in fridge if the weather is warm.
Personally it lasts around a week for me before it starts to go bad, so I advise putting it in the fridge :)
how many times can you reuse the soap nuts?
It depends on what you're using them for! They stop releasing saponin once they come to the end of their use and you can usually tell when that's the case. For example: with laundry I can usually use one lot around three or four times depending on whether it's a cold wash or not (make sure to take them out during the spin cycle though) I can do another video on the different uses and quantities etc going into more detail, if that would be helpful? :)
@@WeAreWellness yes please
Is it safe to use on coloured hair?
My hair is coloured and it's absolutely fine :) I actually have found that colour lasts longer because you're not using chemicals that strips colour from your hair!
How many days we can store it?
I use that amount for 2 hair washes, so it lasts around 2 weeks. I found that if you leave it much longer than that it starts to go funky, so I wouldn't recommend making a big batch all in one go :)
Thank you
More recipes please! Also where did you source your soap berries?
I got them on Amazon, here is the link :) www.amazon.co.uk/Greenfrog-Botanic-Laundry-Soapnuts-gram/dp/B0753LJSWZ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=soap+nuts&qid=1572455630&sr=8-6
@@WeAreWellness aaaaa
How many days we can Store it
2 weeks
Is it safe to wash my hoohaa with it?
LMFAOOO
Shampoo nuts from india ❤️
I love you honey😍
Instead of boiling you can soak it overnight
I'll try that method, thanks! Do you find it works the same as boiling them?
@@WeAreWellness yeah,that works for me.. I usually oil massage my hair before washing it with soapnut shampoo.
After soaking the soapnut overnight or 4-5 hours ,I squeeze the seed and mix the pulp with water.And then I strain the water.😊
@@butterflyqueen2429 do soapnuts remove oil from hair effectively?
@@hb.9355 yes I was surprised they even removed coconut oil from my head,
We indians have used this since forever. All pur grandmas uaed this
Would it be better if you grind them to a powder and boil them to extract more soaponin from them?
1. How many times can you reuse the soapnuts?
2. Can you store the shampoo at room temperature?
TIA
With the leftover nuts from the shampoo, you can use it to clean sides/do washing up etc. You can use soap nuts to clean laundry and you can reuse those around 4 times until they stop releasing saponin. Depending on what you use the soap nuts for determines how many times you can reuse them. You can usually tell from the colour - they seem to go a little see through/lighter and that usually means they are coming to the end of their use.
I personally keep it in the fridge when I use it. In my experience, if I keep the shampoo out for longer than 2/3 days, it tends to go kind of slimy and cloudy and that's not good. A lot of people are suggesting putting them in ice cube trays in the freezer and taking them out when you need them which I think is a great idea!
I worked in factories that make shampoo and that made me want to stop using it. Gonna try soap nuts tonight
Update: They work great. Making my second batch now
@@huge_ballsare you still using the soap nuts? Just soap nuts or do you add anything else? How long do you store it? Do you store it in the fridge? Thanks!!!!
I invite everyone to read coran the last book of god on earth
