Shikakai powder is a traditional Indian hair care product. It is made from dried fruit pods of the Shikakai plant. Shikakai cleans and cares for hair and scalp intensively - and does so very gently. Like a conditioner, it strengthens the hair and gives it shine and body.
Applications:
- for a classic application put 2-3 tablespoons of Shiakai in a glass bowl and stir it with hot water to a smooth paste. Then apply the mixture to scalp and hair and massage in briefly. Leave on for 10-30 minutes (for blonded hair please do not exceed 10 minutes) and then rinse thoroughly.
- for Ayurvedic use, mix five tablespoons of Shikaikai with boiling water. This mixture is then left for two to twelve hours. Then strain off the brew and apply to scalp and hair. Wash out after about 15 minutes.
- for dry scalp, mix Shikakai powder with curd and almond oil in the ratio 2:1:2 and massage your scalp with this mixture 30 minutes before each scalp wash.
