DIY Reetha Powder Shampoo Recipe

Say goodbye to harsh chemical shampoos and hello to natural and eco-friendly hair care with this DIY Ayurvedic Reetha shampoo! Made with natural ingredients like soapnut, this gentle and nourishing shampoo cleanses your hair without stripping away its natural oils. While it may not produce as much lather as conventional shampoos, it still effectively cleanses and promotes hair growth, treats dandruff, and is kind to the environment.

In this video, I'll be showing you how to make your own shampoo using reetha powder. Reetha powder is a natural and gentle cleanser for the hair, and it's great for those with sensitive scalps or who prefer using natural hair products.

Reetha is also referred to as soapnuts, aritha, and soapberry. In addition to being gentle, reetha powder also has many benefits for the hair, including promoting hair growth, reducing dandruff, and preventing hair fall. I've been using reetha powder in my hair care routine for a while now, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the health and appearance of my hair. So, let's get started!
*Note: Be careful around your eyes while shampooing.

Step 1: Mix 3 tbsp Reetha powder 
with 2 tbsp Shikakai powder & 2 tbsp Amla powder.

Step 2: Pour powders into a jar with about 2 cups of warm water and stir until the herbs are mixed well.

Step 3: Sit mixture aside to soak until its a thick and frothy liquid.

Step 4: Once the mixture has soaked for the desired amount of time, strain it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any lumps or chunks. You should be left with a smooth liquid that is ready to use as shampoo.

Step 5: To use the reetha powder shampoo, simply wet your hair and apply the shampoo to your scalp and hair. Massage it in gently, and then rinse thoroughly with warm water. You can follow up with a conditioner or hair oil if desired.

And that's it! You've made your own reetha powder shampoo that is gentle, natural, and effective. This shampoo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
