Shikakai Powder acts as a natural astringent for hair care. It clears dandruff and dirt accumulated on the scalp and strengthens hair roots. It promotes luxuriant hair growth.

Typically, shikakai is mixed with water to make a paste which is worked through the hair. It lathers moderately and cleans hair beautifully. It has a natural low pH, is extremely mild, and doesn”t strip hair of natural oils. Usually no rinse or conditioner is used since shikakai also acts as a de-tangler. This ancient product is probably the world”s original pH balanced shampoo.

It has been reported as “promoting hair growth and preventing dandruff”. Because of these benefits, this powder was named “shikakai” which literally translates as “fruit for the hair”.
