Hesh Shikakai Herbal Hair Oil 200ml  OK guys, I finally managed to sweet talk my mother into sharing her shampoo recipe with me. But you guys have to promise me! You can’t really tell this to any one and I really mean it this is a state secret!. And I really mean it. No telling any one unless you want me to be universally disowned by the entire clan all over the world.  

My mother is 60 years old and she has the most gorgeous curly black locks.

(Oy, I know what your thinking! What happened, brains skipped a generation? How come the mothers got so good hair and the daughter is a balding widget) But like I said I had really good hair till I got pregnant and then BAM sudden hair loss! 

But I digress.

Here’s the recipe. You better take it down because I do have to delete it before my grandma notices. Or we’ve both had it. 

1 Kg Shikakai

250 Gms Bengal gram

250 Gms Full green gram

250 Gms poppy seeds

100 Gms Fenugreek

100 Gms Horse gram 

Dry the various ingredients well and powder finely in a coffee grinder. Oil your hair with a teaspoon of olive oil and then use about one and a quarter teaspoon for shoulder length hair. You can use two and a half teaspoon to clean really long hair. Mix the powder with water to form slurry and then use to clean hair. You can also apply the powder to hair directly. After cleaning rinse properly to get rid of lumps. 

If you’ve got the time let me know the results.
