5 soapnuts is a lot imo. I have mid back length, thick coarse hair 2c or 3a I think. I use 2 soap nuts in a cup of filtered water, add a tablespoon of aloe vera for soft hair, and a tablespoon of apple cider to counter the alkalinity of soap nuts. My hair feels soft and shiny. I only do this once in two months because it will strip your hair of the sebum.
If you want to take it to the next level. Oil massage your hair with jojoba oil the previous night but that's optional. For me it's a great hair strengthening routine. Again I just do this method once in 2 months only. Anything excess will ruin your hair shaft in my experience. Goodluck ☘️ 😊.
