Sis I love ambunu!!! I'm extremely tender headed and it helps me detangle my hair and made my wash day easy. You could freeze the left overs and use it next time. I grind mine and use three table spoons and add my hair growth oil to it. You could strain it and use it as a leave in conditioner with aloe juice and hair growth oil.
Can you please share more info about the leave-in? Once the aloe is added, do you have to store it in the refrigerator or can it be left at room temperature?
Yes I just bought some and I will use this recipe. My daughter hair is really thick and her hair loves thick products. I will definitely have to try this on all of our hair!
Hi! I just brought some ambunu from seeing another youtuber that promoted from this company. I use it as a detangler/prepoo & I love it ❤ Could you do a video making a flaxseed aloe vera & ambunu hair gel?? 🤗
@@NowIAmNappy I use as Shampoo adding 1 tablespoon of African soap. I also use in my deep conditioner mixes, and for a leave-in, curl definition, I mix it with flaxseed gel.
I’ve used Ambunu twice and I loved it. It’s better to use less water. I used a tbsp of Ambunu to one cup of water, it was sudsy when I massaged into my scalp, I didn’t bother to use a shampoo afterwards, I just deep conditioned after rinsing it off. The second time I tried it, I added a tsp of shikakai and areetha to it, oh my! My scalp and hair just loved it. I think I’m going to be using this as my shampoo going forwards. Next time try to use an applicator bottle and you can strain the leaves out after it cools down.
I love ambunu. I've used it in multiple ways...detangler, in DIY shampoo, in my DIY leave-in. As a separate detangler, I feel it cleansed my hair and took off my leave-in. Although the slip is real.
Please please do a leave-in gel video. Just wanted to let you know that I’m so glad I ran into your channel because the wealth of knowledge you throw down is off the chain! I have learned so much about preservatives from you. It’s a great channel. Thanks.
NowIAmNappy I would enjoy both a leave-in gel and a creamy leave-in. I’m about to try some of your other DIY’S now that I received my preservatives. Keep bringing us that awesome content.
Thanks for sharing this in the FB hair group. My Ambunu just arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m so excited to use it. I’m also wondering how it works in DIY herb oil. I use avocado/EVOO and walnut oils. My herbs I use are burdock root, saw palmetto, lavender, oregano, rosemary, hibiscus leaves & lemongrass. I’ll be making a second batch soon and adding sea moss, green tea, Brahmi, hops and comfrey. I’d love your thoughts on Ambunu in an oil. Thanks sis!! ❤️
Wow that’s amazing it worked so well putting it on low porosity hair. Some say you have to saturate low porosity hair before you shampoo. But I guess not?
I think it’s important to note that there is a lot of water in this and I put/squished this in my hair for about an hour. I timed the filming and that allowed it to penetrate
NowIAmNappy thank you so much for sharing. Shampoos are so harsh on my hair. Even the ones without sulfates are hard on my hair. And thanks again for the video on Rhassoul clay for hair washing. I noticed on that video you make a deep conditioner and sale it. Does a little go along ways?
Love ambuno! I use it as a pre poo as I wasn’t aware of its cleansing benefits 😊. Thank You for That’s information! I mix in ashwaganda and hibiscus powder in mine. We are now in protective style challenge and I have chunky butterfly 🦋 locs in for another week… but I’d love to see a recipe for ambuno leave in. Do you have a link already?
The Ambunu is actually a leave-in with lots of moisture for your hair. I rinse it out then apply what is left over as a leave-in. Amazing curl activator www.africanambunu.com
Excellent video. Love that you were so thorough in showing the results. I wondered if you knew of any analgesics? I was taken off my meds after 13 years of using responsibly for no reason of my own . And I’m trying to find something worthwhile. Thought I’d ask. Blessings
I would say this has more slip than zizyphus abs zizyphus leaves a slight coating on the hair even after rinsing. Ambunu doesn’t but it feels very moisturized
Honestly, my scalp is my biggest issue. I have seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff) on my scalp, face, back and chest, and I've FINALLY, in my 40s, created a recipe of oils that I can use before and between cleansing to fight plaques and heal my skin. I still cannot use styling products without reacting. My cleanser is off the market, so I desperately want to know how this fared over the next couple of days, and Yes to a gel or leave-in!!!
As usual nice FYI...like your usage and info content. Yes pls do a leave -in. I'm wonder if I could trade this in for the flaxseed gel? Hmmm! Let me know sis...
Yes you could use it as Co wash, and a leave in conditioner. You could also deep condition at the same time with this herb. Freeze your leftovers for next use.
It was a gentle clean, not a deep clean. I use other ayurvedic herbs that give a stronger clean. I'm going to combine this with some herbs to see if I can get a stronger effect.
OK soooo.. Where was this when I 1st went natural. I would spend hours trying to detangle my 4C hair and I literally put this hair crack on and within 2 minutes my hair looks like it's never done before.. This stuff is an Effortless detangler. So mad that I have bottles of high end detanglers that don't work nearly as fast.

Ohhh these are all great ideas! Thanks for sharing, you got me thinking
Can you please share more info about the leave-in? Once the aloe is added, do you have to store it in the refrigerator or can it be left at room temperature?
@@ashleyspann6169 hi Ashley it can be stored in the fridge for up to 5-7 days.
I just posted two leavein!
This is how I store mine used one too
I use about 3-4 tbsps of ambunu to 1 cup of water, I prefer a thicker consistency
I'm definitely going to try a thicker consistency next time.
Yes I just bought some and I will use this recipe. My daughter hair is really thick and her hair loves thick products. I will definitely have to try this on all of our hair!
@@annfrank90 how did it go?
@@melindawilliams136 I adjusted the recipe as needed but I use it on most wash days. It works well!
@@annfrank90 Thanks for reply! I have some otw and will use it for my daughter's wash day this weekend. Curious what ratio works well for detangling?
Hi! I just brought some ambunu from seeing another youtuber that promoted from this company. I use it as a detangler/prepoo & I love it ❤ Could you do a video making a flaxseed aloe vera & ambunu hair gel?? 🤗
Ohh that sounds like it will be delightful! I'm going to try it.
OMG, I just made this gel and it was the best gel I ever used. You can see it in my ambunu playlist
Thanks for providing information about Ambunu. I use it every wash day. My hair is now more hydrated and my scalp is less itchy.
Oh nice, do you use it as a prepoo or your shampoo?

Yes, I will definitely use less water, thanks! I'm want to try it with herbs too, I'm glad you already love it. I'm so excited! Thanks for suggestions
Thank you I'm doing a tbsp with one cup of water lol, 1 lt= 4 cups seems too much to me for 1 tbsp lol
I have used it for one month as a shampoo and I love it
Ohh that’s awesome sis!
The longer you leave the leafs in the water it will get thicker
I love ambunu. I've used it in multiple ways...detangler, in DIY shampoo, in my DIY leave-in. As a separate detangler, I feel it cleansed my hair and took off my leave-in. Although the slip is real.
Yess I can’t wait to experiment with it. It did a good job of removing my leavein too
The Ambunu has a light foaming effect. So glad you tried it. I've been using it for about a month now ☺️
Please please do a leave-in gel video. Just wanted to let you know that I’m so glad I ran into your channel because the wealth of knowledge you throw down is off the chain! I have learned so much about preservatives from you. It’s a great channel. Thanks.
Awww thank you so much. I may have to do two recipes, a leave in gel and a cream leave in. Hmm so many options!
NowIAmNappy
I would enjoy both a leave-in gel and a creamy leave-in. I’m about to try some of your other DIY’S now that I received my preservatives. Keep bringing us that awesome content.
I cannot wait to see what you come up with using ambunu. I use the leaves and the deep conditioner

Of course! Do a leave in ☺ and yes it suds up because it's a cleanser ☺ thanks
Or a flaxseed, ambunu gel😍 that would be AMAZING!
Yes yes, I will try the gel and formulate a leave in
I’m will to try it, I love how it makes your hair soft. Yes, definitely a leave-in❤️
I did one, hope you enjoy it
I love using it. I make so many things from it
Just making Ambunu now for the 1st time. Gonna see how I like it.
Hope you enjoy it
@@NowIAmNappy I like it. VERY good detangler.
Your natural hair is beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much 😀
Yes please. I'm very interested in learning more about the different uses of this herb!! Thank you for sharing!!
ok, will do! You're welcome sis

I’ve used ambunu in many DIYs. I’ve strained mines and as stated reused the leaves.
Yes I will be reusing the leaves next time! Thanks for the suggestions
how often can you reuse the leaves ?
Thanks for this video it was nice and informative. I’m all for an herb that gives slip and conditioning properties. I’ll have to try this 😉
Love ambuno! I use it as a pre poo as I wasn’t aware of its cleansing benefits 😊. Thank You for That’s information! I mix in ashwaganda and hibiscus powder in mine.

Great share. I used it on my hair as well and I loved the results. I did experience the shine and softness which was good. .
Your hair looks soft
It was so soft and hydrated!
Yes please do a gel/leave in conditioner 😊❤

Loved the results! How would you compare this to Zizyphus powder? Which one do you prefer?
I would say this has more slip than zizyphus abs zizyphus leaves a slight coating on the hair even after rinsing. Ambunu doesn’t but it feels very moisturized
NowIAmNappy Thanks! I may give Ambunu a try.

Hmm a creamy leave in? I definitely think you could use this instead of flaxseed. Or maybe even a combo of this with flaxseed 🤔
Try straining it through muslin cloth or maybe put a muslin cloth over the mouth of the bottle and apply as needed if don't want to use leaves.
yes thay will work too
When you first put it on your hair it looks like aloe vera gel but then it seems to soak in... this is really exciting to me...I wanna try it badly!!!
Victoria Mitchell yess, it took a few minutes but once my hair absorbed it, Hydration! I added the link to purchase in my amazon store
@@NowIAmNappy thank you!
Would u use it as a cowash?
Actually yes, its perfect for a cowash
Yes you could use it as Co wash, and a leave in conditioner. You could also deep condition at the same time with this herb. Freeze your leftovers for next use.
Thank you! And for the extra tips 🤗.
I wonder if it’s okay to use on locs.
Hi can you do a recipe for a cream leave in? Is it possible to use directions without using grams please
I just posted a creamy leave in recipe.
I'm really interested in what you'll do with this herb. 💜
I did three videos th-cam.com/video/8yxBdHDdfH4/w-d-xo.html
Hi again, after rinsing this out did you use any other product to further cleanse your hair and what did you do with the leaves when you was done?
I threw them out, however I just learned you can dry and reuse them
No need using another product.
I think I want to try this as a leave in
How much of a deep clean did you get from this herb? Do you think it could be a permanent replacement for regular shampoo? Thanks ❤️
It was a gentle clean, not a deep clean. I use other ayurvedic herbs that give a stronger clean. I'm going to combine this with some herbs to see if I can get a stronger effect.
does, this realy work becauze my hair Juztstoppex growi g, and Im getting of trying all these product that I notice are leading to the zame length
Hey hun, is there a reason your hair stopped growing? Is it breaking off, or is it falling out at the root?
You are AWESOME! THANK YOU.
You’re welcome 😉 😊
Thank you
Hello new subscriber.
Ok I needsss to know where you got those earrings from??
Thanks for subbing, unfortunately these earrings I got from a Maasai Tribe when I was visiting Kenya
How does compare to okra? Omg I cant get ambunu here in south Africa
They both give a good amount of slip, if you can’t find Ambunu then okra is a great alternative
Thanks a million for that.💝
Bom dia. Linda.
Será que encontro ambunu no Brasil. Bjs
You can use a applicator bottle
I will definitely use one next time.
Your dog 🐕 is so cute 🥰
Thank you, he's a big baby.
And the leaves come right out
Yes, they rinse out easily
It better to use less water in order to get it more slimy
I will do so in my next recipe, thanks!
Looks almost like okra gel
Yess exactly but more slip
Why don't you show hair that is short and not long. I want to see the results first when the hair starts to grow....

I know right, this was absolutely amazing
