Nisarg Organic Farm Shikakai Powder 500g - Natural Hair Cleanser & Scalp Care

Information About Nisarg Organic Farm Shikakai Powder

Key Benefits & Hair Action

• Natural Cleanser: Effectively removes dirt, excess oil, and pollutants from the scalp while maintaining its natural pH balance.
• Prevents Dandruff: Its antifungal and antibacterial properties help treat scalp infections and reduce itchiness and flaking.
• Strengthens Roots: Rich in Vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, it nourishes the follicles to reduce hair fall and promote thicker, stronger growth.
• Natural Conditioner: Tannins in the powder help smooth the hair cuticle, adding a natural shine and making hair easier to detangle.
• Delays Greying: Regular use can help maintain natural hair color and delay the onset of premature greying.

Directions for Use

• As a Shampoo: Dissolve 2–3 teaspoons of powder in warm water to form a thin, lotion-like consistency. Apply to wet hair, massage the scalp for a few minutes, and rinse thoroughly. (Note: It produces a very mild lather compared to chemical shampoos).
• As a Hair Mask: Mix the powder with yogurt, honey, or aloe vera gel to form a thick paste. Apply evenly from roots to tips, leave for 20–30 minutes, and wash off with lukewarm water.
• The "Ayurvedic Blend": For the best results, many users mix Shikakai with Reetha (Soapnut) for extra lather and Amla (Gooseberry) for added Vitamin C and conditioning.

• Shelf Life: 12 to 24 months (Current stock typically expires in mid-2027 or 2028).
• Caution: Avoid direct contact with eyes, as Shikakai can cause significant stinging. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with cold water.

Expert Guide: If you are transitioning from commercial sulfate-based shampoos, your hair might feel slightly different during the first few washes as it adjusts to the lack of synthetic silicones. Stick with it for 4–6 weeks to see the true improvement in your hair's natural texture and scalp health.
