Shikakai

Shikakai is a traditional Ayurvedic herb commonly used for hair care in India. The name “Shikakai” means “fruit for hair,” and it has been used for centuries as a natural cleanser and conditioner. The plant primarily grows in tropical regions of India and is known for its pod-like fruit, leaves, and bark, which are rich in saponins—natural surfactants that help cleanse hair and scalp without stripping away natural oils.
