This is the perfect herb to add to your cleansing and conditioning recipes. Please use the below proportion guide for how much powder you’ll need to use for your hair length and thickness.
Cleansing Healing Recipe:
Use equal proportions of organic neem, shikakai, soapnut, and organic zizyphus spina christi powders. MIx powders together in bowl. Add warm water and mix well until a thick paste similar to yoghurt consistency. Since these herbs have a strong scent, you may want to choose from one of Henna Sooq’s essential oils and add a few drops to your recipe. Mix well. Allow this recipe to sit out for 30 minutes.
Apply onto your hair by sections, starting at the front and move towards the back.
Leave on your hair from 15-20 minutes. Wash out very well. Towel dry and moisturize with your favorite Henna Sooq hair oil.

Let the paste rest on your face for 5 minutes and then wash off with warm water.
