Better than I expected

I've washed my hair now three times with this powder and it took time to learn what is the best way to prepare and apply it on my hair. My hair is really fine, but there's lots of it! So for my hair type, I need to mix quite a generous amount of water to the powder to make it go through the hair to the scalp as well. After mixing the powder with water I let it sit at least a couple of hours before using it. After applying the mixture I leave it for a few minutes before massaging gently, I also keep adding water (under shower) if I need it to lather more. My hair feels a bit coarse and clumpy right after washing, but when the hair dries it comes out wonderfully clean and soft! Knowing this shampoo is also organic and all clean, not going back to "normal" shampoos anymore.

Very little for the money

I only use organic natural shampoo but this isn’t one I’ll be using again. Also came packed with polystyrene beans, which is not ok.

Hi Alecha,

Im sorry to hear you didn't get on with our Certified Organic Soap Nut Reetha Powder. This can be mixed with water to make a paste to cleanse your hair, though this is different to more commercial shampoos so can take some getting used to. If you would like any other help or advice on that please do get in touch. We use EcoFlo Packing Peanuts which are biodegradable, compostable and can be run under water to disintergrate.

Update

I used it as a dry shampoo intead and it worked. You can mix with the other powder too. You can work with the hair and it lasts for a few hours. Use a comb or little bit at a time and work through hair with fingers.

Disappointed

I also mixed with Shikakai powder and it was effective at all. It made the hair stick together. I had to use a different shampoo to remove the product from hair.
