The media could not be loaded. I used the powder as a hair pack and had it on for around ~40 minutes, then rinsed and followed with my conditioner on my ends. Let me just say, when I blow dried my hair, I have not felt it be this silky in forever!! My hair has been pretty damaged for the past few years because I have dyed and bleached it so many times. I have straight hair and due to the damage and different shampoos it has had this awkward wavy texture, but after using this my hair feels virgin again. My hair is so soft, shiny, and voluminous! I would definitely recommend 100%!! Some people are complaining about the smell but it doesn’t bother me, it smells a bit like smoked spices. Read more
Just used once but have seen enough improvement with my dendruff. Will surely post some post hair wash videos. Read more
Do you like smelling like beef Wellington? Then this is the shampoo for you! It cleaned my hair and scalp beautifully. My hair was so soft. BUT, it stripped my color and my hair really started to fall out. I will use once a month for a really good deep clean. Read more
I wanted to try a few months before writing a review. I have bought this for the second time. This is not a traditional shampoo where you get lather, soap like. I would recommend not to use this directly without oiling the hair else it will become extremely dry. Just apply any good oil(olive/coconut/argan/jojoba/seasame/castor etc) and leave for 20-30 mins and then use this. After a lot of trial and error, I followed this process. DO NOT RUB LIKE SOAP OR SHAMPOO OR BUNDLE YOUR HAIR UP TO SCRUB. Mix with warm water and apply generously and gently scrub with very little pressure and add a handful of water each time you want to scrub. It takes at least 15-20 mins just to scrub around my head. Wash with luke warm water and not hot water. It took me 2-3 washes to get adjusted to the scrubbing way and timing that suits me. Also, oil application before washing helps in knowing if the hair is clean or not, you can feel the oily feel in the hair if it has not been scrubbed properly. But trust me, not only did the oil wash away, it didn't get dry because a slight part of the oil gave the shine to my hair. I like the herbal smell in my hair . Hair was squeaky clean with a shine. Only thing I added additionally was more Shikakai powder when I used more oil. I did have hair fall for the first 2 times but after that the hair fall also reduced. I have not used any regular shampoo for the past 3 months. I am very happy with the natural chemical free way to maintain hair. Read more
I've been using this shampoo for over a year and it's now the only one I'll use. My hair has looked fairly thin and flat for many years, which I now realize is because of using commercial hair care products, hair dryer, etc. I used organic products, but still, any shampoo and any chemicals are destroying the natural environment of the scalp. Last year I started learning online about natural hair care, also called historical hair care, and now my hair is wavy and beautiful and looks much thicker and is growing long! I use only real herbs, oils, essential oils, etc. - all natural foods to feed my scalp. Follow the directions of the first reviewer here for best success. Oiling your scalp before shampooing, ideally for several hours, is key for better hair growth. I've tried a number of different natural haircare products for cleansing in place of this one, but for my hair it's outstanding and I keep coming back to it. After using this product, I follow with a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse that I leave on for 3-4 minutes and then rinse out. I gently wrap it in a Turkish towel for a bit to absorb the wetness and then I take it off and let it air dry. Do NOT comb or brush wet hair, because hair is much weaker when it's wet and more strands will break off. Once it's completely dry, finger comb first to detangle and then you can use a wide tooth comb. Another wonderful herb to use for conditioning is cassia, AKA clear henna, for fantastic shine and body. If you let it steep longer and sit in your hair longer, it will also deposit blonde tones. (But do NOT use the brand Zenia! So far Henna Sooq has had a quality cassia.) Read more
Terrible allergic reaction! My eyes were burning and they were so red after using this. Couldn't keep them open. Had to rinse hair with Castile soap. Read more
It is super coarse and does not wash away easily. Read more
