    $0.40 per wash sounds VERY cheap. Your in Indiana right? i found some stores in indiana. Hopefully you live close to one of them.

    Neoma, you hair def looks thick. Aritha powder is good for people with oily hair.

    So if you have dry hair may be you add one or two drop of essential oil?!!?!??!

    Thank you, tina.

    My hair is baby fine, but I have a lot of it. And herbal washing tends to make it look really bulked up.

    Yes, I think that a drop of lavender, rosemary or peppermint might be very nice. I'll try that tomorrow.

    People who use arthia powder liquid to wash their hair, should try shaking the liquid because it makes BROWN foam (delicious looking) just like the whole soapnut liquid. I will post pic of the foam by tonight.

    I was complaining last night that my hair hadnt been feeling fuller and dryer for past week. So just now i added my old soap nut liquid (It was made about 3 weeks ago - made with the whole sopanuts - i think i had about 2 oz. left) into soapnut powder and added some more water and shook the bottle. The liquid created an amazing looking foam. This may be safer as my self and other people have mentioned that powdered sopanut liquid is not so safe because the tiny particles can go in our eys and it is very painful afterwards.

    I will wash my hair with that foam in about an hr and i will post the results.

    Thanks Tina, that's very kind of you to show me those Indian groceries! They are mostly all up in Indy, which is about an hour drive away, unfortunately. Although, I'm thinking of calling them to see if they would be willing to pop some in the mail to me....it might end up being cheaper than Amazon!

    Indian people do use lots of herbs and spices in their food. My mom's one whole kitchen cabinet is filled with spices.

No whole soapnuts. There is a huge Indian store in mid-town that I may try, but it really is a trip for me. Maybe I'll just order them online.

    That's great, Neoma! I'm glad that worked out for both you and DolphinPrincess!

    They were NaturOli ones, right? You will have to tell us how they work for you!

    P.S. I wanted to report back on my little soapnut plant sprout - it is not doing well at all. I am so NOT a gardener, sigh...it never got to be any higher than an alfalfa sprout. Now it is lying down too....not good, I think. My house is very cold, so it probably didn't have a chance!
