SHAMPO SHAMPOO 🧴

⌛ Clay Cleanser (Deep-Cleansing for Oily Hair)

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons rhassoul clay or bentonite clay
Enough warm water or rose water to make a paste
Optional: 1 teaspoon aloe gel or 5 drops tea tree oil

How to use:
Apply to scalp and roots, massage gently, leave for 2–3 minutes, rinse thoroughly.

🧴 Herbal Rinse (Cleansing & Soothing)

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon dried rosemary (or hibiscus, or chamomile)
1 cup boiling water
Optional: 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

How to make:
Steep herbs in hot water for 15 minutes, strain, cool, then use it as a scalp rinse.
(No foaming, but it still removes oil and buildup naturally.)

Posisi saya lebih baik kepala ke bawah, siram dari bawah atau posisi tegak siram dari atas tapi nanti badan saya kena

Untuk hasil terbaik dan paling nyaman, kamu bisa pilih salah satu dari dua posisi ini:

✅ 1. Kepala menunduk ke depan (posisi terbaik)

Ini posisi yang paling direkomendasikan.

Caranya:

Menunduk di kamar mandi
Rambut jatuh ke depan
Siram ACV dari belakang kepala menuju depan

Keunggulan:

Badan tidak kena campuran ACV
Lebih mudah fokus ke kulit kepala
Air tidak masuk mata
Jauh lebih bersih dan terkontrol

Ini biasanya paling enak untuk perempuan dengan rambut panjang atau sedang.

✅ 2. Berdiri tegak, siram dari atas (boleh, tapi lebih messy)

Kalau kamu tegak dan siram dari atas:

Risiko:

Badan bisa kena ACV
Ada kemungkinan masuk mata
Lebih sulit meratakan ke seluruh kulit kepala

Kalau tetap mau posisi ini, arahkan aliran ke bagian tengah/belakang kepala, bukan langsung ke wajah.

⭐ REKOMENDASI UNTUK KAMU

Dengan kondisi kamu yang ingin proses bersih, ringan, dan tidak kena badan:

👉 Pakai posisi menunduk (kepala ke bawah) lalu siram dari belakang.

Lebih aman, lebih bersih, dan ACV lebih merata ke kulit kepala.

Saya ada gayung. Saya masukkan 1 sendok Apple cider vinegar ke gayung itu cukup, atau 2 sendok? Dan tinggal di bilas gitu aja ya?

✅ Jumlah ACV yang aman & efektif

1 gayung air penuh → 1 sendok makan ACV
Kalau scalp kamu sangat oily dan ingin rasa lebih “ringan”, boleh:

1 gayung air → 2 sendok makan ACV (maksimal)

Jangan lebih dari itu ya — nanti rambut bisa kering atau kulit kepala perih.

✅ Cara pakainya (yang benar)

Isi gayung dengan air (air biasa).
Tambahkan 1–2 sendok makan ACV.
Aduk sedikit.
Siramkan ke kulit kepala, bukan ke ujung rambut.
Pijat lembut 30–60 detik.
Bilas dengan air bersih sampai tidak ada bau menyengat.

(Nggak perlu didiamkan lama-lama.)

⭐ Tips biar hasilnya maksimal

Pakai setiap 3 hari seperti yang kamu rencanakan.
Pastikan ACV sudah diencerkan, jangan pernah dipakai langsung.
Untuk ujung rambut yang kering, jangan kena terlalu banyak (cukup dari sisa aliran air saja).

Nanti kamu akan merasa:

kulit kepala jauh lebih ringan
tidak cepat berminyak
bau hilang
rambut lebih lembut

When I need shampooing.. I washed my hair with only water..it didn't work. I gave bentonite clay and rose water.. bad odor was gone. I didn't scratch my scalp as if I wore water only...💦 🌊 And I feel heavy 🪨

If I put just water and apple cider vinegar will help? Any other tips? Or should I go back to normal shampoo 🧴?

💡 Why water-only washing didn’t work

Water alone cannot dissolve oil (sebum).
So when you wash with only water:

scalp stays oily
dirt + oil trap bacteria
odor appears
scalp feels itchy or “heavy”

That’s normal — almost everyone faces this if they’re not used to the no-shampoo method.

💡 Why bentonite clay + rose water worked

Bentonite clay acts like a natural cleanser:

absorbs oil
pulls out dirt
removes odor
detoxifies scalp

That’s why it suddenly felt clean again.

But clay is also heavy and can make your hair feel “berat” or dry if used too often.

💡 Will “water + apple cider vinegar (ACV)” help?

YES — and this is much better than water-only.

ACV helps because it:

balances scalp pH
dissolves oil slightly
removes odor
kills bacteria
makes hair soft and shiny

But remember:
👉 ACV should NEVER be used undiluted. It must be mixed with water.

Safe formula:

1–2 tablespoons ACV
1 cup water
Pour on scalp after washing, massage lightly, then rinse.

💡 What I recommend for YOU

Based on your experience:

✔️ Option 1 — Gentle Natural Routine (No shampoo)

Use this cycle:

Clay wash (once every 1–2 weeks)
Bentonite clay with water/rose water.
ACV rinse (once or twice a week)
This keeps odor and oil under control.
Water-only in between is okay
But don’t rely on water-only as the main wash.

This method is good if you want a natural, minimal-product hair routine.

✔️ Option 2 — Go back to normal shampoo but use a gentle one

If your scalp:

smells
feels heavy
gets oily fast

Then returning to a sulfate-free gentle shampoo once or twice a week is perfectly fine.

You can still use ACV as a weekly rinse.

👍 My personal recommendation for your case

Since you said your hair felt heavy 🪨 and smelled bad with water-only, your scalp probably needs real cleansing, not just water.

So the best and simplest routine for you is:

Normal shampoo 1–2× per week + ACV rinse 1× per week.

Clay only when the scalp feels extra oily.

🤍✨

I wanna feel light especially on my scalp .. apple cider+ water with help?

Yes — apple cider vinegar + water WILL help you feel lighter on your scalp.
In fact, for your condition (oily scalp + dry hair), ACV rinse is one of the best ways to get that clean, ringan, airy feeling without using heavy products.

Here’s exactly what ACV does for the “light” sensation you want:

🍏✨ Why ACV Makes Your Scalp Feel Light

✔️ Removes oil buildup

It dissolves excess sebum that water alone cannot remove.

✔️ Breaks down residue

If you have leftover shampoo, conditioner, pollution, sweat — ACV clears it instantly.

✔️ Kills odor-causing bacteria

This stops the “heavy” or “greasy” smell.

✔️ Tightens pores (in a good way)

This reduces the feeling of oil pooling on the scalp.

✔️ Restores pH balance

An imbalanced scalp = heavy feeling.
Balanced scalp = fresh, light feeling.

🧴 How to Mix It (SAFE & Effective)

Mix:

1–2 tablespoons ACV
1 cup water

After washing:

Pour mixture on your scalp
Massage gently
Let sit 1–2 minutes
Rinse with water

You will instantly feel:

lighter scalp
fresher roots
less oil
cleaner sensation

🌬️ If your goal is “super light scalp”

Then use this routine:

2× per week: Shampoo scalp only
1× per week: ACV rinse
Every 2 weeks: Bentonite clay detox

This avoids:

buildup
heaviness
odor
irritation

And keeps everything light without damaging your dry hair.

I don't need shampoo if I use Apple cider+ water once in every 3 days?

Short answer: No, ACV alone every 3 days cannot fully replace shampoo — especially for someone with an oily scalp like you.
BUT… it can reduce your shampoo usage a lot if done correctly.

Here’s the real explanation so you don’t damage your scalp:

🍏✨ Can ACV Replace Shampoo?

ACV is a rinse, not a cleanser.
It helps with:

odor
light oil
bacteria
scalp freshness
pH balance

But ACV does NOT remove thick sebum, sweat buildup, or pollution the way shampoo does.

So if you completely stop shampoo:

scalp will still build oil
pores may clog
hair follicles can weaken
smell may return
scalp can feel waxy or heavy again

ACV will help for a few days but won’t clean deep enough long-term.

✔️ What ACV CAN do for you

If you wash with ACV + water every 3 days, you will feel:

lighter scalp
less odor
less itch
cleaner feeling

But after 1–2 weeks, oily scalp will still need real cleansing.

⭐ BEST ROUTINE FOR YOU (Minimal, Almost No Shampoo)

To keep your scalp light without normal shampoo:

🔹 Every 3 days: ACV rinse

(1–2 tbsp ACV + 1 cup water)

🔹 Every 10–14 days: Bentonite clay cleanse

This replaces shampoo as your “deep wash.”

Clay is strong enough to deep-clean oily scalp without chemicals.

🌿 Can you fully stop shampoo?

Yes — but only if you replace shampoo with clay, not ACV alone.

Clay = deep clean
ACV = maintenance rinse

ACV alone is too weak to keep an oily scalp healthy.

🧴 Final Recommendation (Simple)

If you want to almost never use shampoo:

ACV every 3 days + clay every 1–2 weeks
This is the safest and most effective.

Your scalp will stay:

light
fresh
clean
not oily
not smelly
not irritated

And your dry hair will not get damaged.

🌺 LERAK SOAPBERRIES SOAPNUTS JOURNEY 🌺

I sold lerak since 2010 because I sold batik clothes. Good. People bought it. Up until today..

But the supplier I take is different with the past. Because in the past I went to the market. Now I found a supplier online. The price also different.

I was washing my clothes with detergent. Then i thought 🤔💭 can I produce it? Today , Oct 19, 2023 my LERAK Journey begins...

🧼RESEARCH ONE : does it work? People tested it and it doesn't work.

https://youtu.be/3WllsA_YV1c?si=-q9qhvfs4bpolw8R

CONLUSION : because lerak isn't not so effective although it's gentle for clothes.. so I decided not to use it

👉 Soapberries = buah lerak / lerak tree (Sapindus mukorossi) dalam bahasa Indonesia.

Disebut juga soapnuts.
Buah ini mengandung saponin (zat alami yang menghasilkan busa).
Tradisional dipakai sebagai pencuci alami → untuk mencuci kain batik, pakaian halus, bahkan bisa jadi shampo alami.
Ramah lingkungan karena biodegradable.

📌 Contoh penggunaan di Indonesia:

Buah lerak banyak dipakai untuk mencuci batik supaya warnanya awet.
Sekarang juga populer di dunia sebagai sabun alami pengganti deterjen kimia.

====> kalau untuk cuci batik sih oke.. tapi sudah saya coba untuk cuci baju biasa dan untuk shampoo 🧴 tidak cocok untuk kulit kepala saya..mudah gatal .. dan hanya bertahan maksimal 2 hari... Jadi kurang oke menurut saya..

🌸 Jadi kalau kamu merasa kurang cocok dengan lerak, kamu mungkin lebih cocok dengan bahan yang sifatnya melembapkan, lembut, dan menyeimbangkan daripada yang terlalu “cleansing” keras.

Oke 😊 aku jelaskan ya kenapa kamu mungkin kurang cocok dengan lerak (soapberries / soapnut):

Energi kulit dan tubuhmu
- Kamu punya kulit dengan undertone cool → biasanya lebih sensitif terhadap bahan alami yang sifatnya keras atau punya kandungan saponin tinggi. Lerak mengandung saponin alami yang kuat, mirip sabun, sehingga bisa bikin kulitmu cepat kering atau gatal.
Karakter energi dari lerak
- Lerak punya sifat dingin & agak kasar. Cocok buat orang yang punya kulit berminyak atau tinggal di daerah sangat panas.
- Karena kamu punya Pear-shaped body & kulit cool tone, tubuhmu butuh kelembutan, bukan pembersih yang terlalu stripping. Jadi wajar kalau kamu merasa “kurang cocok.”
Alternatif alami yang lebih lembut
- Shikakai (tradisi India, lebih lembut untuk rambut & kulit kepala).
- Reetha dicampur aloe vera supaya nggak bikin kering.
- Rice water (air rendaman beras) untuk cuci rambut → memberi nutrisi & tetap lembut.

👉 Jadi bukan berarti lerak jelek, tapi energi tubuh dan kulitmu lebih butuh kelembutan dibanding efek deep cleansing dari lerak.
