    Haha, you're funny Ljkforu!

    --Update-- Soapnut Foam Wash!!

    I want to thank Heidi_234 for the idea of shaking the liquid! This morning I took just 2 oz. of the liquid in a big 8 oz. container and shook it up to make it all foam, then scooped up that foam to wash with, it works really wonderfully!! My roots weren't even the slightest bit greasy. Also, my hair looked nice and dark too, without that problem I was having of the grays appearing lighter!! I am very excited by this! My hair looked exactly as I've been hoping to get - beautiful body and shine, plus the retention of my henndigo color too!! Yay!!! Heidi you rock!!!! Plus, it's easier to keep it out of your eyes, since it's not a runny liquid!!

    I'm going to try another experiment! I just ordered some foaming shampoo containers - I wonder how that will work with soapnut liquid! I think it helps a lot to get more foam, and therefore better cleansing! And maybe I can stretch my liquid some to help save money too!

    Oh Millie you give me far too much credit , I just merely asked about the foam to make sure how my soapnut liquid should be like. It was all your idea to try and use the foam, and it's rather brilliant one!
    I did noticed myself that the shook soapnut water worked much better for me than one that has not been shaken. But I never give it much thought and took it to the next level. And it does make perfect sense, because the foam is the soap.
    I think we are really working out a great system, the foam would be indeed much easier to apply, and stretch given amount of liquid for longer (until it runs out soap I suppose).
    Keep us posted about the foaming shampoo containers (I've never heard of these before). It also might be an idea to use a shaker maybe? Or blending, or one of those funny kitchen instruments I can't make out which is which and what for.
    I'm going to shake my soapnut liquid real good in the shower today.

    Soft hair that is nice to sit on - now I'm bragging!

    Wild guess on my part but maybe, because the soap nuts are in pure form, the saponins settle in the liquid and are more concentrated somehow in the foam, without the other constituents.
