Shikakai Powder for Healthier Natural Hair
Natural Hair Care Solution
Also known as the "hair fruit," Shikakai Powder has long been prized in Ayurvedic practices as a natural alternative to chemical shampoos. Rich in saponins, Shikakai acts as a natural foaming agent and is renowned for its cleansing properties, promoting healthy hair growth and improving the overall appearance of hair.
Gentle Cleansing and Conditioning
Shikakai is packed with flavonoids, alkaloids, and plant acids that nourish and strengthen hair roots. With a low pH that aligns with the natural pH of hair, it cleanses gently without stripping away essential oils. It’s an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive scalps, as it can help control dandruff and cleanse excess sebum.
Detangles Hair Naturally
For those with curly hair, Shikakai Powder can help detangle without damaging your follicles. Use it as a gentle conditioner by running your fingers through your hair while rinsing to easily loosen knots and tangles.
Suggested Uses for Organic Shikakai Powder:
-
Hair Wash: Mix the powder with water to form a paste, apply to hair and scalp, and leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
