I have been using this as a hair wash for the last one year. The methi gives lather. The lemon peel has a natural conditioner from its oils and also has the natural ability to remove any grease and oil from the hair. The banana makes the hair softer. The essential oil I added will add some more healthy oil to the scalp.

One can also let this soak on the hair after applying for 10 mins. Don’t worry if the peel cannot be completely washed from the hair after washing. As the hair dries the peels also dry as fall off. The day after the hair wash, the hair becomes and feels silky and smooth. The day of the wash, one might feel the hair is still oily. However, over the period of that day, the scalp absorbs all the natural oils. This wash is even better than sheekakai and all that natural hair washes too and the hair feels even softer. Keeps the scalp also healthy due to the lemon. I have also added one full lemon with its juice too at times while grinding. Since we use a lot of lemon juice for smoothies and salads in a day, we tend to collect a lot of lemon peels in a week. I have a tendency to lose a lot of hair if I use shampoos or other store bought mixes and I plan this every week and my hair fall has reduced drastically over a period of time. If you have a good mixer, then you can grind it to a uniform mass at one shot. This can be used as a body wash and hand wash too. There will not be any necessity to use soaps for the body and dispenser for the hand wash.
