If you are currently in the process of trying to grow out your hair, the constant upkeep including deep conditioning, hair masks, and trims can quickly become overwhelming. In addition is the challenge of trying to figure out products to use in your hair, and what ones to avoid. One simple task that can make this easier is using herbal hair care with natural ingredients that won’t pose any chemical damage.
One of the most popular of these natural ingredients is Shikakai, an Ayurvedic herb also known as the “hair fruit.” Grown in India, this herb has high contents of vitamin C, A, D, E, and K. It is rich in antioxidants that make the roots strong and healthy, thus resulting in hair growth. Shikakai is typically used as a shampoo replacement due to its healthy cleansing properties; it has a low pH, is very mild, and does not strip hair of its natural oils that are essential for hair health.
While Shikakai is actually a small shrub-like tree, its fruit is collected, dried, and then ground into a powder. It is mixed with water to form a paste that is then applied to the hair by itself or with other powdered natural ingredients.
