Shikakai (Acacia concinna) is a climbing shrub native to India. Its dried pods are ground into a powder traditionally used as a natural shampoo. Rich in saponins, shikakai gently cleanses hair without stripping natural oils.

Shikakai powder acts as a natural cleanser, removing dirt and excess oil while maintaining hair’s natural oils. It is believed to strengthen hair roots, soften hair and reduce dandruff due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties.

The powder may also encourage hair growth by stimulating the scalp, though evidence is mostly anecdotal. In Ayurvedic practice, shikakai is mixed with amla and yoghurt to create nourishing hair masks.

  • 100 % pure shikakai pod powder
  • Natural shampoo – Rich in saponins, shikakai gently cleanses hair without harsh detergents.
  • Supports scalp health – Antifungal and antibacterial properties help reduce dandruff and relieve itching.
  • Softens and strengthens – Leaves hair feeling soft and may strengthen roots, helping reduce breakage and split ends.

1.   Prepare a paste: Mix 2–3 tablespoons of shikakai powder with warm water to form a smooth paste.

2.   Apply: Wet hair thoroughly and massage the paste into your scalp and hair. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes.

3.   Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with water. Follow with a natural conditioner or a light oil if desired. For deeper conditioning, combine with amla or yoghurt.

  • Avoid contact with eyes.
  • Do not ingest the powder. Overuse may dry out hair or irritate the scalp.
