Patanjali Shikakai Powder
Patanjali SHIKAKAI POWDER is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal hair care powder made to gently cleanse the scalp and hair without stripping away natural moisture. Shikakai, commonly known as the “fruit for hair,” has been used for generations in Ayurveda to support soft, clean, manageable, and healthy-looking hair.
Naturally rich in plant-based saponins, Patanjali SHIKAKAI POWDER works as a mild herbal cleanser that helps remove dirt, excess oil, and buildup from the scalp while maintaining the hair’s natural texture. It is especially valued for supporting scalp freshness, improving hair softness, and making hair easier to detangle after wash.
Suitable for regular herbal hair care routines, Patanjali SHIKAKAI POWDER can be used alone or mixed with other Ayurvedic powders such as amla, reetha, neem, or bhringraj for a more complete hair cleansing and nourishing ritual. It is ideal for people looking for a natural alternative to harsh chemical-based hair cleansers.
