Shikakai powder is obtained from the dried and ground parts of the Acacia concinna plant. In traditional hair care, it is used as a natural herbal shampoo.
Due to its mild cleansing properties, shikakai gently removes impurities from the hair and scalp without stripping the hair of its natural oils. This is why it is especially valued in natural hair care as it helps keep hair soft, shiny and manageable.
Shikakai is often used for scalp care, especially for dry or dandruff-prone scalps. Its natural mild acidity helps maintain the scalp's balance.
It can be used alone or in combination with other herbal powders like amla and reetha to prepare natural hair masks.
How to use
