Hope you are all doing great! Today I am really happy and excited to write my first post on one of my favorite blogs. Lancy is super sweet and adorable girl and gave me this opportunity. I really want to thank her for the same.
As every human being wants to look happening, no matter which body part it is. The new trend is to flaunt your sweet smile and to spread the same to the world. And for a perfect smile, you want your teeth to be white and attractive too. So in the markets, now days, you can see many toothpastes coming up that claims to give you white and attractive teeth with a smile within just few weeks. Personally, even I love using such toothpastes which could show such results. So, today, I am here to share my views on Colgate new whitening toothpaste and also will be sharing its results after one week of the usage.
I’ve been asked this question over 1000 times literally in the last 6 months! I know I am very late posting this article; (I can hear you all bashing at me inside your head) I really apologize to everyone of you for the delay! Lately I have been both busy and ill. 🙁 The bad weather and some personal worries took a toll on me and I had been very depressed and gloomy. I Now that I am getting better, I am sharing this post will you all with a list of SLS and paraben free shampoos I collected.
Hair Wash Powder Recipe – Alternative to Shampoos:
Before you go through the list, I would like to suggest a natural alternative to your regular shampoo. It is a non lathering, powdered hair cleanser, but still a NATURAL recipe. It doesn’t contain SLS, paraben, silicone or something harsh. And gives you fabulous results if used regularly. If you can adjust with the non-lathering factor, go ahead and try the recipe at home. I’ve mentioned about our hair wash powder in my mom’s hair growth journey post. Its not the exact recipe because we add many herbs and other ingredients to the actual one to increase its effectiveness, as it is a long (costly!) process. Now what I share is the a base recipe of it. It works good too! (Its VERY much better than the lathering shampoos) It is easy to make and you can do it yourself in minutes.
Ingredients Needed:
100 gm dried shikakai
50 gm dried green gram
50 gm fenugreek
How to Make?
Dry the ingredients in sunlight for 5-6 hours. And finely grind them all together! The process is over. If you want a more finer powder (which is more easy to rinse off) then you can sieve the powder and store it in an air tight container. You can also prepare it in huge quantities but make sure you use it within 6 months. My mom told me she used this powder for years from her childhood and they used to make it in kilograms for their big family. So try it at home and let me know how it worked. If you are a lazy lass, then wait for me to put up the more effective ‘herbal’ hair wash powder for sale on our site 🙂 It is an improved version, with herbs and hair growth, hair softening ingredients present in it!
P.S: You have to mix the prepared powder (shikakai, green gram, fenugreek mixture) with curd/milk and two drops of any pure oil (optional; do this only if you have dry hair). If you have heavily oiled your hair, you should do two rinses with it. I always do two rinses with my hair wash powder if I oil my hair. For my classic length hair, I use 2-3 heaped teaspoons if I oil and only 2 teaspoons on non-oiled hair. It controls hair fall, cleanses hair thoroughly, reduces dandruff, promotes hair growth and makes hair shinier with regular usage.

I had shared my hair story here on MABH a few months ago. For a quick recap let me just say that if there is any experiment with one’s hair worth the name, I’ve done it- from colouring to perming to straightening to all kinds of hair treatments and rituals ( as Kerastase calls them) until I finally decided to go all natural with hair care. So, out went all the chemical rich hair colours, shampoos and treatments and in came all indigenous ways – henna, oiling and natural shampoos and conditioners. Needless to say, my hair is much healthier than it has been in a long time.
