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.
