Dear Srilatha,
Don't use conditioner for ur DDs hair.Children's hair and body will have the natural way of lustre and shine according to their age.My DD also is 7 years and i always wash her hair with soap-nut. She cries that all her friends use shampoos and they smell wonderfully.But still i strictly avoid and explain her to see their hair after ten years. They will be convinced. Don't apply hair-packs until ur DD has attained 13 years.It's my opinion. Even i did the same and now i have a thichk hair which is eye-biting.

hi chetavani

your suggestions are well taken. tell me how you use soap nut as a replacement of shampoo. i will use it both for me and my daughter. please tell me the procedure. will it remove oil applied before bathing.

Srilatha,
Soak soap-nuts (they r available in any supermarket) in hot water for half an hour before head-bath.They become somewhat smooth.After that u mix it thoroughly until u get the froth. Extract as much froth as u can. Use this water to wash ur hair.When u apply this froth on oiled hair it does not show up immediately like shampoos but u have to put a little effort. After sometime it will be easier. I m sure the soap-nuts remove entire oil from ur hair. It is also not harmful to hair.
