WHERE I BUY MY HERBS:
If you have an Indian market near buy, I'm sure you could find some of the herbs there. If not, here are the online sources I bought my whole herbs from:
Whole Soap Nuts (Reetha): bit.ly/2LNpKhs
Shikakai Pods: bit.ly/2ZFyNsT
Fenugreek Seeds: bit.ly/3e7MqFj
Amla Berries: bit.ly/2LMdvlp
Shikakai Pods: bit.ly/2zaXWB4
I prefer using the whole herbs, but since they can be difficult to find, here is some place you can find the powdered herbs:
Shikakai Powder: bit.ly/2ZyG3Xo
Reetha Powder: amzn.to/2ZGYjhD
Amla Powder: bit.ly/36sWhTz
Fenugreek Powder: bit.ly/2WYrjzo
(I prefer to grind my fenugreek fresh)
Other herbs and items:
Marshmallow root: bit.ly/3eb8SgO
Neem Leaf: bit.ly/3dffNWl
Squeeze bottle: amzn.to/3c6JlUl

In my family, we have been using these powders for as long as I can remember. It has been passed down for generations in our house. Another thing we use along with all those you have mentioned, especially for children, since shikakhai can be quite unforgiving on the eye, is skip it altogether and use the leaves or powder of a tree called albizia amara. It's like the soap nut and very gooey but doesn't sting at all. We also add fresh or powdered curry leaves and hibiscus. It might sound like it's a lot, but we get fresh ingredients, dry them during summer and powder them to last a few months.

Now after suffering hair damage from anti frizz chemically filled products and counter shampoos with impressive labels that did no good, I’ve turned back to all of these herbs and also add neem and hibiscus flowers to this diy shampoo.

[@flowersafeheart]

One commenter suggested first massaging scalp with oil(s) before using this shampoo. That reminds me of something I've been thinking about which is: in skincare it's often recommended to double-cleanse, which means oil or oil-based cleanser first (to remove grime, well especially sunscreen and makeup) - THEN a water-based cleanser which truly removes the oil along with the grime. (Plus if I'm understanding this right, plant-based oils are emollients which is a barrier that both seals in any moisture already there and prevents good products from absorbing in, so I imagine leaving on oils that aren't washed off is best as a last step after all products and moisturizers). So it makes sense to me to first oil-massage scalp (also for the massage therapy/reflexology benefits plus different oils help balance different Ayurvedic doshas such as sesame oil calms/grounds Vata...could stand on towel or sit to not slip or even get full-body oil massage before shower) then use a gentle, water-based shampoo (such as perhaps this video's recipe which looks so fun). Especially if someone uses hair products, sweats, or gets dirty. And double-cleanse helps remove bacteria, odor, and old skin cells. As for nourishing, strengthening, softening, smoothing, shine, volumizing, defining, and hydrating ingredients, I'd think the most important place for those and spending much money (for hair or skin) is as a leave-on step after the double-cleanse since it'll have such longer contact with body than a quickly washed-off cleanser. Such as in a leave-in conditioner or deep conditioner or protein mask or well-formulated gels/creams/milks/mousses/sprays/whatnots for hair (or serums and moisturizer for skin). Then maybe seal and smooth it all up last with a little oil (probably better than silicone)? Disclaimer: I'm no scientist or hair expert, just trying to logically put together guesses and pieces of things I've learned from a zillion videos (and used to work in massage). Please everyone always do your own research and consult experts! I'm very open to feedback and continual learning! Also: great video! I'm curious how the gorgeous footage at the end was filmed! Edit: After writing all this I watched the video again. Whoops, it says leave this shampoo on 2-5 minutes (so guess it is on long enough for ingredients to have an effect). And it does mention oil as a first step but says it doesn't remove oil so there is another shampoo suggested for that. Cool!

Genetics is the most important factor forgotten by everyone

[@roo_13]

Exactly! People are going to spend so much money on the products she uses thinking they’re going to get long thick hair like that. I’m sure the products are probably healthier for the general population but you won’t magically get long thick hair like hers. It’s all genetics and very small percentage is good haircare.

[@blueshoes5145]

The problem more people have is thinking that their hairfall and hair quality is FROM genetics...when propably around 80% have just some bad hair practices (shampoo and conditioner type, towelling, styling products etc) , stress or has a deficiency. If you correct it, you'll see immense changes in your hair. But people think '"it's genetics, I won't have hair that looks beautiful cause I'm unlucky". While genetics plays a big role , the environment you put your hair is also is just as important. You can't have majority of the female population having hair shedding and thinning, if genetic disorders aren't that common (e.g 3% of population). Know your body's current state by figuring out what it lacks or is high in.. (get a blood test- hormones ? Deficiency? ) is a good way to start. If the results of the test is good, Your doctor THEN looks at female pattern baldness or other kinds of genetic considerations.

[@yt4ash1]

To all those who doubt if it works I would say this method is a tried and tested one for ages in India. If you are the one who loves everything clean and organic. Give this a try! Soapnuts need to be slightly less in quantity than Shikakai as it can be a bit drying. It may take a little getting used to initially as it doesn't lather much like store bought shampoos. You need to wash twice if you oil your hair before wash. But the result will be clean and lustrous looking hair for sure.
