Frequently asked questions

Can shikakai powder be used instead of shampoo? +

Yes. Shikakai (Acacia concinna) is a traditional plant-based hair cleanser. It washes hair gently with little or no lather and is free from sulphates, leaving hair soft and manageable.

How do I wash my hair with shikakai powder? +

Mix shikakai powder with warm water to a thin paste, apply to wet hair and scalp, massage gently, and rinse thoroughly. Expect a low lather; that is normal for a sulphate-free cleanser.

Is shikakai suitable for an oily scalp? +

Shikakai cleanses the scalp gently and removes excess oil and build-up, so many people with oily hair like it as a regular wash. It is a cleanser, not a treatment: for any ongoing scalp condition, speak to a dermatologist.

Can I mix shikakai with other powders? +

Yes. Mix it with reetha for a wash with more lather, or with amla for a softer, conditioned finish. The Amla Reetha Shikakai Combo packs all three together.

Is shikakai safe to use on henna-coloured hair? +

Yes. Shikakai is a mild, sulphate-free cleanser, so it is a good choice for washing hair coloured with henna or indigo. Wait 24 to 48 hours after colouring before the first wash.
