Shikakai Powder

Shikakai Powder
Shikakai, known as “fruit for the hair”, is effective in cleaning the hair by keeping all its natural oils intact. Shikakai nuts are the source of shikakai powder. Shikakai is believed to encourage hair growth and make hair roots stronger. You can experience maximum benefits by applying 1 tablespoon of shikakai powder combined with 1 tablespoon each of amla powder, bhringraj and aritha powder. Put this mixture into a cup of boiling water and keep the infusion undisturbed for 10 minutes. For those suffering from dandruff attack or problems with their scalp, adding 1 teaspoon of neem powder to this blend is advisable. Also supplement the mixture with 1 teaspoon of liquid castile soap if you are one with oily hair. After cooling the mixture can be used to wash your hair. Be careful to rinse properly using warm water. According to your choice, you can go for hair conditioning with amla and brahmi oils after the mixture is applied and washed off.
