How to make natural shampoo from retta: an alternative to expensive chemical products

In the context of modern fast-paced life, environmental pollution, and the use of cosmetic products with chemical additives, hair loss, dandruff, and dryness have become common problems. Many expensive shampoos contain harmful chemicals such as sulfates and parabens, which damage the hair from the inside.

If you strive to make your hair naturally strong, long, and thick without harming your health, traditional retta shampoo is an excellent choice. Retta contains natural 'saponin,' which deeply cleanses the hair from dirt and nourishes the scalp.

How to make shampoo from retta:

To prepare it, you will need the following ingredients: 8-10 dry retta (without seeds), 5-6 dry amula, 5-6 dry shikakai, and 2-3 cups of water.

The preparation process involves several stages. First, soak the retta, amula, and shikakai in 2-3 cups of water overnight. The next morning, slowly simmer this mixture on the stove for 10-15 minutes so that all the herbal extract transfers into the water.

After that, let the mixture cool down. When it cools, thoroughly mash the retta and shikakai by hand to release all the juice and foam completely. Then, strain this thick solution through a fine cloth or sieve and pour it into a clean bottle. Your natural retta shampoo is ready.

How to use

First, wet your hair thoroughly with regular water. Take a small amount of the prepared shampoo in your hands and apply it to the scalp, gently massaging for 3-5 minutes. Since this product is made 100% from natural ingredients, it does not produce as much foam as chemical shampoos, but it provides a thorough cleansing of the scalp.

After massaging, rinse the hair thoroughly with clean water. For best results, it is recommended to use this shampoo twice a week.

How to make a natural facial cleanser at home from three ingredients instead of expensive products

People often use expensive cleansers containing chemical substances to achieve beautiful, flawless, and radiant skin. However, while such products may provide temporary radiance, in the long run they strip the skin of its natural sebum, making it dry, dull, and sensitive. If you want to avoid the side effects of chemicals and achieve a natural rosy glow for your skin, you should give up store-bought cleansers.

You can prepare a 100% pure and natural cleanser using just three ingredients found in your kitchen: besan, raw milk, and rose water or turmeric. This homemade cleanser not only deeply removes dirt and excess oil from the face but also nourishes the skin, giving it a natural glow. Below is a simple way to prepare and use it.

You need to take 2 tablespoons of besan, 2 tablespoons of raw milk, and 1 tablespoon of pure rose water (or a pinch of turmeric).

Place the besan in a clean bowl. Besan acts as a natural cleansing agent that removes dead skin cells and dust. Then add the raw milk. The lactic acid contained in raw milk helps remove tan and maintains the skin's internal moisture. After this, stir in 1 tablespoon of rose water. Rose water helps maintain the skin's pH level and gives the face a rosy tint.

Using a spoon, thoroughly whisk all three components until a light and creamy paste is formed. Wet your face with clean water and apply the prepared paste to your entire face and neck. Gently massage your face in circular motions with your fingertips for one to two minutes to open closed pores. After that, rinse your face with clean water and pat dry with a towel. After the first application, your face will look clean, soft, and radiant.
