Ambunu is easy to use. 1 Tablespoon of Ambunu leaves in one and a half cup of hot water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, set your timer. Stir. The consistency is like an egg white. At this point you can strain the leaves thru a mesh strainer then transfer the liquid via a funnel to your applicator bottle. You can also use it straight from the bowl. The leaves fall out when you comb your hair. Section your hair and wet with water. Apply the warm Ambunu mixture to your hair and scalp. Massage your scalp. This is the cleaning process. There is NO LATHER. Lather comes from chemicals and Ambunu is chemical free. Detangle your hair with your favorite detangling instrument. The leaves fall out without leaving leaves in your hair.  Your hair will detangle effortlessly. You will then notice your curls will pop.
