Lena,

I put 10 nuts in two cups of water and boiled and simmered until it became one
cup. It was thicker. Then i reused four times boiling it each time and it came
out more watery each time. so i just put them all together as my shampoo/body
wash/face wash. I put aloe vera gel, allantoin and urea in it too. The smell
is not bad. I just hope the aloe vera does not come out like dandruff when my
hair dries. I tried it as a face wash (rinsed it) and hey, it looks good for
the skin, some light wrinkles weren't too visible. Allantoin and urea are good
skin moisturizers.
Take care.
