Hair healing herb. Also called fruit for hair, it has a purifying, astringent and growth-stimulating action. Excellent conditioning and antioxidant. It can be used mixed with coconut oil or castor oil for a strengthening and polishing effect.
Shikakai is a climbing shrub of the Fabaceae family, which has always been used as a natural shampoo. Its powder, obtained from leaves and bark, in contact with water creates a soft foam that cleans the hair, without changing its natural pH and leaving it extremely soft. Known in Ayurveda for its natural cleansing and foaming properties. Literally meaning "Fruit For Hair", it has always been used as a natural shampoo for healthy hair in the ancient Indian tradition.
Hair: This herb is a natural astringent and therefore promotes the health of the scalp by keeping it clean and fresh, helps fight dandruff and strengthens the hair roots by stimulating their growth. It's an excellent conditioner, so it helps to untangle the hair. Regular use of Shikakai prevents split ends and makes hair thick and strong. In addition to saponins, it contains a high percentage of tannins which give it antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
HISTORY and CURIOSITIES: In the Indian tradition, women perform a scalp massage with Coconut oil or Castor oil, which is left to act for 2 or 3 hours, and then eliminated with a shampoo or a compress with Shikakai.
HOW TO USE: Mix the powder with very hot water until you get the consistency of a yogurt, add any other herbs. Cover and leave to macerate for 20 minutes. Apply the paste to wet hair if using as a shampoo, then massage the scalp with circular movements. Apply what remains also on the lengths. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly. A final rinse with water and vinegar helps keep the hair shiny and soft.
Note: Shikakai is suitable for all hair types, but for those prone to dryness it is recommended to use sparingly and add Amla.
