Eco nuts or soap nuts are of Indian origin. It's eco friendly,pocket friendly,natural. It's been used in India from decades. Homemade cleaners, shampoos, body wash,laundry detergent (liquid too) etc. Best part is you can compost the leftover. Proud Indian.
Many greetings to India!
Soapnuts are the most ecological and cruelty free way for cleansing. It’s way better than using harsh synthetic man made chemicals.
But does it dry out your hair?
I don’t add essential oils because I’m trying to remove the oil. I use tea, hibiscus or sage or rosemary. I also like fenugreek both in the shampoo and conditioner. I like to add coconut water and aloe Vera juice to my rinse. And I now use homemade kombucha vinegar rather than acv because I’ve got plenty. I’ve been doing this for almost a year now and my hair is halfway down my back and super thick and curly. Oh,and I’m in my 50s. Coloring with henna.
Vow, sound like we all could A LOT form you, that is all so amazing! I admire that. Thanks for watching, dear Lane.
Lane Tower If you oil your hair, how do you get it out?
Very thorough, I am using the ones I have left and then moving on to simpler things. Love your energy and your animal pictures. Be well kindred Spirit!
Nice hairdo! I have been watching you for more than two years and I dare to say thar this is the best hairdo you have ever had!
Hi! Thank you for watching and following my channel so long! You just made my day :) And thanks for the compliment! Greetings form Vienna :)
Great video! Thank you for the info. I do have 1 thing to add though, don’t boil them, steep them. So that the nutrients aren’t killed.
thank you for giving clear instructions. now I'll try it.
You are very welcome 😊 Thank you for watching!
This is the best instructional video I have seen on youtube! great info as well as to what works and why. Thank you. I look forward to trying.
Thank you so much, this is so wonderful to hear! Thanks for watching & greetings from Vienna :)
Hi again, quick question, have you ever tried the cold pressed method: instead of using boiling water to extract the saponae, using luke warm and soaking the nuts overnight. Any thoughts? Either way, I look forward to following the instructions outlined in your video. You're the best!
Hi, I was showing this method - soaking over night instead of boiling - also in my video.
My apologies. Thank you again.
thank you. not long ago i saw this soap nuts in a shop, and bought one bag (300g), will try it.
After cooking the Sapindus, put those in the net bag. It can be used as a soap in the bags.
Oh I never thought of that - THANKS!
Thank you for your time making this video.I will try your advise .
Thanks for sharing the details! Great video!
Thanks, Erica :)
omg I am taking notes as you speak because i am soooo tired of chemicals! definately will try, even though a bit afraid 🙆♀️ but you explained very well!
Thank you for watching :)
This IS the best soap nut video ! I've watched a lot of them
OMG, Thank you so much, Alicia! I appreciate you writing it ❤️🙏
@@SewingLara 😉💕
Hi, I've been washing my hair with soapnuts for more than a year now. I freeze the decoction in icecube trays, then put all the cubes in a bag and use as needed. I thaw them in the microwave, so it's super convenient. I don't add flax to the shampoo, just soapnuts and water, I usually boil the soapnuts 3 times. If you'd like to dye your hair in a non agressive way you can try henna.
Hi Raquel, thanks for sharing! That sounds all very good and practical. Yes, henna is amazing! I grew out my natural hair color and dyed the bleached parts with henna and it even made the hair stronger. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How is your hair now
Subscribed! Thanks for the breakdown
Thanks and welcome on my channel :)
great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! It helps a lot!. 💕
Thanks for watching, Aisha!
Great video thanks!
I love this 💙
Very detail information. Thx very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi!!!! Laura ..... I really liked ur video.... I'm from India..... Till couple of yrs back I used reeta .... (Soap nuts) for my hair ... But now in our busy daily lives ... Started using shampoos.... After seeing ur video.... I want to restart using it again.... Thank you for your ideas
Hi, thank you for watching! That is great! Sending greetings to beautiful India 💓
Hi so using soapnut is completely safe? In one of a group discussion, there is a concern whether the result is standard and have pH safe enough to use
@@talkspresentation6082 Our hair have the ph level of 4.5 - 5.5 and soapnuts generally have the same ph as hair.
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching, Lynda!
Dear to be very honest i haven't seen any youtuber replying all the comments and especially the one from foreign county tho i am from India and haven't used the soap nuts yet but will definitely give it a try....👍👍
Well, I always take time for my viewers. I love soap nuts for the laundry, too. Also, if this recipe won't work for you, you could try to find an over the counter shampoo with soap nuts.
@@SewingLaraprecious reply mam
i don't have option to give you heart By liking your comment's reply....But emoji can work ❤
Really great video!
Thank you, Rebecca!
Thank you.
You can try adding shikakai pods to your shampoo while boiling the soapnuts to make a conditioning shampoo.
Thank you!
What is shikakai? Is it a plant or powder?
And how much shikakai pods should I add?
Shikakai makes the hair extremely dry... 😏
Hello 👋 😊
An y Pls tell me how much weight those soap nuts in the cup in pds or kgs?... Mine was nothing like that....
Also on CL how much water 💦?
Thank you 🙏 😊 💕
I don't have that cup 😐
Thank you for sharing ❤️😊
Thank you for watching 😊
thanks so much
You are amazing. I have fine thin hair prone to breakage and it needs moisture because it gets dry after washes. I'll try making this shampoo and see if I need any conditioner after that. Not bleached, not dyed, just thin hair, not so strong on the roots.
One question : Can I use this every alternate day? or daily?
H, Anikesh, thanks! You can use the shampoo however often you wash your hair. Some even wash only once a week if the scalp can handle it. Whatever works the best for your routine.
Soapnuts are the best, easy, ecofriendly, natural things for healthy hair, healthy skin and healthy environment. I'm am Indian and I just love these soapnuts. I personally experienced the differece between soapnuts and chemical shampoos. But unfortunately I'm in Australia so I can't find any soapnuts. Good video. Hope this helps people and environment 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍
Maybe you can ask in some organic markets if they can get soapnuts? They might even have it in stock. Hi to Australia form Austria and thank you for watching!
@@SewingLara hey u r from Austria 😀? My favourite hero Arnold schwarzeggar is also from Austria. HI AUSTRIA 😍😍
Yes, i live in Austria! I always loved Arnold as well.
I got mine from ebay!
thank you
so ACE! thanks
thanks for watching!
Thank you 😊 have subscribed
Thanks & thank you for watching!
Wow you're so pretty! and love your tats. :)
Thanks, lovely :*
MondbergTV thank you for the recipe. Which type of hair is this best for?
Not damaged hair. If your hair has been bleached or is super dry, I wouldn't use it.
Nice recipe
I'm going to try the soap nut shampoo and see the difference between it and the baking soda solution I'm currently using. I like the idea of using natural soap but the soap nuts aren't as readily available to me as baking soda is
Baking soda is definitely too harsh on hair. I hope you'll like the soap nuts!
Hello! I have 2 questions, which method do you prefer, the soaking or boiling, any reasons? Also, how many times do you wash your hair a week? Thank you! :)
Hi, thanks for watching! I prefer the boiling method, as it goes faster. I did not notice any differences in the quality during the time I used both versions. But unfortunately, I had to stop using the soap nuts shampoo in the mean time, because my dyed hair was too dry long term even with the conditioner :( Greetings from Vienna!
MondbergTV Thank you for the reply! I'm going to try to use soap nuts because my hair is too oily. :)
You are welcome. I think in your case, it is definitely the right choice.
@@SewingLara hi my hair also when I'm using soapnuts is becoming very dry can u suggest me other alternative.
Could the liquid produced by soap nuts possibly be gelled by adding flaxseed for 24 hours then ringing out? Just an idea.. I'm going to try it out. I'm trying to think of ways to thicken it up without using traditional emulsifiers... Perhaps it could also be emulsified with coco glucoside?
I have seen a video where they used flax seeds to thicken its for sure worth a try.
Soapnuts are awesome. I grow my own
OMG that is so cool! Where do you live if that's not a secret?
Where are you located
does the foam dissolve back to liquid or get smaller in size?
It gets a bit smaller and later it dissolves again.
Hello I enjoyed your soap nuts video. I heard you say the nuts produce an oil from boiling them. Do you know the kind of oil produced? I am a male and have read not to use oils that are polyunsaturated fats, PUFAs
Hi Scott, I don't know what kind of oil that is exactly.
Hi lol you sound like you are from Russia ..if so hi I am from there too and you
have the best info on no poo method
Hi Olga, I am glad my video was helpful. Thank you for watching! Greetings form Vienna. I am not from Russia, I just have an accent that sounds similar.
Good for excema did you say? My head is like one big scab. I have bad excema on it.
I have no idea if soap nuts can be used on eczema - rather check with your doctor first before you use it.
instead of using your hand blender you should try a foamer bottle.
sound good - thanks for the idea!
does it get rid of oiliness in the hair when you wash with it? I am looking for a no poo wash that gets rid of grease
It does, at least with my hair - the hair was afterward very clean and not oily at all. At the beginning it can happen that your hair will get oily around the roots faster because the scalp need up to 6 weeks to adjust to this. I found that my hair was cleaner and I liked the feel of it more than after rye flour or hair soap. Thank you for watching :)
Can you use soft plastic ice cube trays?
Sure! Anything that can act as a container. It will be like ice cubes, so I am sure it will work.
Should we condition our hair after the wash with soapnuts? If so, what should we do?
Hi, Raji! It always depends on whether your hair needs extra moisture or not. YOu can use vinegar rinse and that might be enough. I needed conditioner when I filmed this video because my hair was chemically treated. Now after growing out my natural color, I need only conditioner on the parts that were dyed. You can try putting a bit of coconut oil into your ends and see if that will be enough. Or use simply a conditioner without silicon. I am no expert, so this is just my experience, but I hope it helps. Thank you so much for watching!
How long can you keep this for in the fridge without freezing it?
Hi, I would say up to 3-5 days. After that, not ure if it would be still good.
Your eyes are beautifully mesmerizing
Thank you 💙
Can I do the same process with soap nut powder?
I have no experience with soap nut powder, sorry.
@laura you can reuse the soap nuts after boiling them once. They will still have saponin in them
Thank you so much for mentioning this! I wasnt aware of that when i filmed the video. I am now reusing my soapnuts for washing the laundry, too. Thanks for watching!
liebe Lara, du gabst Nüsse zum Kochen und nochwas gemahlenes oder Samen. was war das? man könnte doch nach dem Kochvorgang alles pürieren, oder, und dann filtern. wie lange ist der Sud haltbar? das mit den Orangenschalen habe ich nicht ganz verstanden. kannst du mir es bitte erklären oder du drehst gleich ein deutsches Video 😀 Danke
Hallo Anna, das waren Leinsamen. Ich fürchte nach dem pürieren wäre es schwieriger zum filtern - aber am besten probieren. Der Sud hält nur ein paar Tage, deshalb friere ich es ein. Und die Orangen sind nur für den Duft. Ich benutze aber inzwischen wieder ein festes Shampoo - für mein blondiertes Haar war das leider nicht so toll auf Dauer. Ganz liebe grüße Süße 😘
Could you use slow cooker?
I have no experience with a slow cooker, but I guess it might work.
On ones scalp.
I have been using soapnuts for almost a month. But my dandruff has just remained the same and my hair feels sticky and a little stinky. I was about to stop using soapnuts but I'm gonna try more. I think I should thicken the soapnut mix to use. And why do you rinse with vinegar? is it necessary?
Vinegar seals the hair structure again and makes it shiny. If the soapnuts didn't work so far, maybe a mild shampoo would be a better option - maybe something organic? I personally went back to the solid shampoo form LUSH, it works better for me. I am using Seanik - it smells super fresh. I don't know it that would work in case of dandruff, though.
For dandruff i really recommended acv. I mix it in a small spray bottle half water half acv. Whenever I notice dandruff, I spray and massage the mixture into my roots, let it sit for an hour and then wash my hair (I usually also do a hair mask during this time). When I first started treating my dandruff this way, it took me a few weeks until it was completely gone (i put it in my hair before every hair wash, aprox 3x a week). Now, if it ever shows up randomly I use the mixture and it usually goes away with a wash or two. Hope this helps, good luck!
MondbergTV thank you for the video!!! May I ask what made you stop using soapnuts and go to solid shampoo? Also, what are the benefits of flaxseed? Could I make my shampoo just with the soapnuts? Thank you so much!
Hi Anna, my hair was back than too damadged and the shampoo was not nourishing enough. Right now, I am growing out my natural color so perhaps I'll try in future again. Theoretically you can make the shampoo just with the soapnuts. However, I believe that the flax seeds make it thicker and easier to use and add some oil to it - I hope this is correct, though, I am not an expert ;) Thanks for watching!
@@SewingLara Thank you, that is very helpful!! you are so kind to reply!
Cant you reuse the soap nuts multiple times?
Yes, you can! I use them to wash my laundry and reuse the baggie with soapnuts three times.
Hi every other recipies use soap nuts again and again but you dont..could you explain why ? Im confuse about which one is right way
Hi! I'm not sure I understand your question. Do you mean re-using them? You can always re-use soap nuts, as long as they crate foam, aka have enough saponins.
Is it possible to let them dry and re-use them other times?
For a shampoo - I am not sure. For washing laundry, definitely. I use a baggie with soap nuts about three times. Thanks for watching!
Yes you can in another video someone commented they let it dry and store to use again
Hi there love , is this more gentle than Castal soap???
Hi there, lovely! I have no experience with the soap, sorry. Thanks fro watching!
MondbergTV ok ,, thank you for replying! 👋😊
I like your idea I’ll definitely give it a go! 👍 this should be very gentle for my whole family! 😘 Thank you for sharing! 👋👋
Anytime! I always take time to reply to you guys, I appreciate our little community here a lot!
It is def gentler than Castile soap for the hair. Castile soap has a high pH and can damage hair over long term use. I recommend any one that loves their hair, stay away from Castile soap.
What purpose do the flax seeds serve in the shampoo?
Hi Vicky, they thicken the liquid and make it a bit gel-like. Also nourishing for the hair (oils).
@@SewingLara thank you!
Can you freeze the extra shampoo if you will not use the whole thing at once?
I talked about it in the video :) around 14:40 or something like that
Sorry, told you the wrong time: I talk about it at 5:50 and again at 9:36.
How much water do you use?
about 4 cups of water
I got psoriasis a few months after using this. Have you had the same problem? I can't find any information anywhere.
Hi, no, never had any issues. I honestly think in case of psoriasis it's probably better to use whatever your doctor approves, just to be sure. So sorry this happened to you, my dear 😭 I hope it'll get better soon!
@@SewingLara Thx for replying. Psoriasis heals when I stop using this liquid. I think soapn nut causes this problem after keeping it in the fridge. When I use it fresh, there is no problem. I think the more you keep it after boiling, the more its harms increase.
Can you give me the name of the second ingredient you put in the shampoo? Thank you very much!
Hi, thanks for watching! Soap nuts, flax seeds, and essential oil were the ingredients.
MondbergTV so how long we can preserve it at the nomal temperature? Thank you so much!
You are welcome. I would say about a week.
MondbergTV Thanks for sharing with me.
No problem!
U should try argan oil to help soften ur hair!! It's organic and makes my hair so soft!!!
I definitely have to try it - thanks! Do you get any special type of argan oil?
@@SewingLara the kind I have is from Aura Cacia. I use it as an over night mask and wash out in morning. I also add to my body wash! My skin and hair are amazingly soft. U will see the difference in one use!!!
That sound so great, thank you so much.
@@mrslonewolf1 How do you get oil out of your hair?
EN,ESPAÑOL
I am close to the final stages of COPD and on a very limited income. The soapnuts are the cheapest for me to use. It is cheaper for me to make my own shampoo and other products with them than the store bought or what you can get online. So, I will continue to use what is the best and cheapest for me.
I absolutely understand! If there is an ivy plant somewhere in your area, you can use ivy leaves for washing your laundry as well. Just take about 5 -10 leaves for a wash load, tear them a bit apart, put them into a sock baggie and use just like the soap nuts. Sending much love!
The best conditioner is fenugreek seeds.
I have heard a lot about that. I even love fenugreek tea. Thanks for watching!
MondbergTV the tea is good for rinsing thru the hair. As a beverage.....I can't deal. The taste is always a shock to me...never got used it it....but in hair....it's amazing.
I like the taste, it reminds me of my childhood. My mom used to cook it for us when we were kids. But I totally get it that some people can't stand it - it is a very distinct and a very strong taste. I guess that is one of the things that people either like or not. I will try rinsing my hair with it, thank you for the tip!
His how do u make a conditioner can u list the steps please
How much water?
About 4 cups.
Did you just use the soap nuts once? I keep reusing them until the dissolve into nothing but the hard seed.
I use them a couple of times for my wash but did not think of using them again for the hair. Thanks for the tip!
I feel soap nuts dry my fine hair out so bad. Makes it impossible to brush after.
I feel that is unfortunately true, you need a conditioner afterward. It's one of the reasons why I went back to using regular shampoo.
This is our indian recipe to make shampoo
Yes, absolutely! I got the recipe from an indian friend. Thanks for watching!
You look so gorgeous
Aw, your're so sweet, thank you!
U look like my frnd
I have seen ur this vdio mny times
@@SewingLara hi can we b frnds
Its not “oily” I think you mean SLIPPERY because of the flax seed.
Thanks!
Can i wash hair everyday with this ?
Theoretically, if you have to wash your hair that often. I don't think it would do any harm. It's pretty mild. But as with everything, it's best to try and see if it works, worst case you can always switch to products you know work.
You are blond. Soap nuts make hair darker. Does adding flax seed prevent this from happening?
I could not say much about that. I actually went back to solid shampoo after a few months before I stopped dying my hair blond, so not sure if it'd make any difference. I think with blonde hair, it's the best to use appropriate products that maintain the color tbh.
I thought that you could re-use the soapnuts until they are almost dissolved.
You can use them definitely more often, that is true. I am using them for washing my laundry and usually use them for at least three washes. The key is to use them only as long as they still release saponins. If they were dissolved, I am honestly not sure how much of that would be left.
Does this shampoo make your hair dry?
I wouldn't say dry, but without a conditioner or vinegar rinse q bit too grippy
Can you boil the soap nut fresh instead of dry?
Not sure - I would guess so, I think it should work. But I have no experience with fresh soap nuts.
Alright then, thank you for your reply. I will put some to dry then, I have 3 big trees. Once again, Thank You.
Thank you for watching :)
I feel if branded products are to be used for conditioner or whatevet it defeats the purpose.
I understand your point.
How can we store this shampoo at 1mnth?
Best thing is to freeze small amounts.
Add vitamin c
what is the point of doing natural shampoo and conditioner when you bleach? shouldnt you not bleach? I used to dye my hair blue for a looong time and bleach wrecked my hair. i shaved my head and just got done growing it back out. bleach is horrid.
Because I like to experiment and because I LOVE having blonde hair 😜 Bleach si certainly not healthy, but it is my personal choice. I switched to low poo and everything is fine. Good for you, though! I bet your hair is super shiny and healthy now! How long is your hair now?
You gotta go to a better color specialist. I used to get my hair bleached for over a decade and my hair always grows long and didn't suffer too much damage. The new bleach was probably going onto the previous bleached hair causing it to become brittle. When bleaching new growth they have to be very careful about that to avoid damage. I wouldn't return to someone if they did that to me.
Your hair looks great but it seems like a lot of work.
Hi Angie, thanks for watching! Yeah, it is quite a bit of work. I also found out that using soap nuts in western countries has a negative impact on the price development in the countries where the soap nuts originate from :( so I went back to my solid shampoo from LUSH.
A lot of people who tried "no poo" for a while went with LUSH afterwards. It must be good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
They have some great products, indeed. I use the solid shampoo called Seanik, it smells like an afternoon at a sea side with a lovely lemony note. It has a bit of sea salt in it. It gives my hair a bit more of a body.
Man all this healthy vegan hair care, yet you bleached you hair. Defeats the purpose.
You can bleach your hair with peroxide not that she does cause idk but that’s what I’ve always done with my hair
I understand your point. I stopped bleaching my hair and I am growing my own natural hair color. But being vegan doesn't mean a person cannot dye their hair, right? You can still have some guilty pleasures if that is something you enjoy and use more natural products despite dying your hair. However, the hair would not be as healthy, of course. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
I did, but stopped because my hair was too damaged after a while. I loved the blond but I decided to rather grow it out, so now I have my natural color. Thanks for watchign and commenting!
OMG it takes over 10 minutes just to wash the hair then start the ACV rinse. Too time consuming. Especially if you want to do a deep conditioning treatment afterwards. No thanks. But I like that anyone can save Aton of money on shampoo and body wash.
Hi Diane, I went back to using solid shampoo exactly for that reason. My hair is now waist long so it still takes a lot of time to wash it, but it'd be even more time consuming with this. Thanks for watching!
She must dates someone black.....that wooden wide tooth comb with coconut oil is black peoples stable in their home 🙈🙈
I got this comb from a black friend a while ago and I used it back in the day when I had perm :) She told me it was the best for curls.
Please don't use soap nuts! The people it India who used the for hundreds of years can't afford them anymore because in western countries it is modern to use them. Now they have to buy the normal detergent and it gets in the rivers and harms the environment very badly :(
CrazyStraw6erry is there anyway I can help?
Totally agree with your responsible attitude. The use of other natural products has had the same effect e.g. the price of quinoa becoming too high for the locals in south america to afford it. This issue needs to be addressed each time we discover these more natural and healthy items. Money can't be the main focus when a product that the local people use is 'discovered'. Local access and local rights need to be protected internationally before export is allowed, none of us want to affect the local people negatively, and we often don't get told how things are produced by those who sell these products. Time to prevent these disasters before they happen.
That is awful! I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting us know! I usually use chestnuts I collect in our parks in fall or ivy from our yard. And some stores have introduced detergents produced regionally, all vegan, no animal testing and it is on cardboard packaging so I will stick to that. Thanks again!
You are absolutely right! Thanks for your comment!
Ashmeet thanks for the real information rather than someone's ill informed comments. Sometimes it's hard to know the truth.
