Ziziphus Sidr Leaves | Jujube Leaves | Organic | Powder

Description

Sidr leaves powder is made from the leaves of Ziziphus spina-christi, the jujube tree, wild-harvested and hand-picked by local villagers. Ourland Herbs describes the powder as 100% pure sidr leaf with no fillers or chemicals, dried without rushing so it keeps its green colour, natural saponins and mucilage.

Using sidr leaves powder as a hair wash

The powder has a long tradition of use in hair and skin care routines. Mixed with warm water into a paste (2–3 tablespoons, rested about 15 minutes), it can be applied to damp hair, massaged into the scalp and rinsed after 10–20 minutes; the original product notes it is traditionally used as a cleanser on its own, without a separate shampoo.

For skin, a small amount mixed with water or rosewater makes a face mask that is applied for 5–10 minutes and rinsed with lukewarm water.

When preparing sidr leaves powder for hair, the original directions describe a yogurt-like paste. Letting the mixture rest gives the powder and water time to combine before application. Work the paste over damp hair, massage it gently into the scalp, leave it in place for the stated 10–20 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

The original FAQ says sidr is a gentle botanical that does not strip hair colour and identifies it as suitable for colour-treated hair. It also gives twice a week as the frequency most people use, rather than presenting the powder as a product that must be applied every day. Those usage details make sidr leaves powder straightforward to place within an existing hair-care routine without adding a separate shampoo step.

Sidr leaves powder for a simple face mask

For a face mask, mix a small amount of the powder with water or rosewater until it forms a smooth mask. Apply it for 5–10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. Using a small amount first makes it easier to judge the texture and quantity needed for a single application. The powder format also lets you prepare only as much paste or mask mixture as you plan to use at one time.

The leaves are hand-picked by local villagers, and the original product page notes that purchasing the powder supports the villagers who wild-harvest these botanicals by hand. The drying process is not rushed, preserving the vibrant green colour described by Ourland Herbs. Keep the container sealed and dry between uses so the fine powder remains free-flowing and ready to mix.

Choosing a size of sidr leaves powder

Choose from 50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 250 g and 500 g sizes. A smaller package is a practical starting point for occasional face masks or for trying the hair-wash method for the first time. Larger sizes suit repeated hair applications, where several tablespoons may be prepared at one time. Whichever size you choose, measure the sidr leaves powder before adding warm water, rest the paste for about 15 minutes and use the preparation while it is fresh.

For a repeatable routine, prepare only the quantity you intend to use, apply the rested paste evenly, and rinse at the end of the stated time. The original page adds two practical points: the powder is presented as suitable for colour-treated hair, and twice-weekly use is the frequency most people choose.

It also says the leaves are checked for purity and that no chemicals, pesticides or synthetic additives are used. Store the dry powder away from water until mixing, because adding moisture starts the preparation.
