I am very satisfied, it is a quality pudea. I will definitely order again. The order arrives very quickly.
I recently introduced a 2% Henna to the Henna mix and I love the combination. My hair is much easier to rinse and it seems to have a shine to it
I really like the fact that it's an organic powder. It's good as a hair mask or shampoo, it can be mixed with other powders. I also add it in solid shampoo, it's best for my hair that way.
Cleanses and refreshes the hair.I think I have purchased all the ayurvedic powders from here and have tested them all ,I am happy with all of them definitely will not miss them again.
I use shikakai in combination with reetha and kapoor kachli for cleansing and regenerating the hair, thus avoiding scalp intoxication , with synthetic products, I mean industrially produced shampoos.
It's wonderful included in a solid shampoo recipe made as a soap by cold process. Hair washed with this shampoo. is healthier, dandruff free.
I used Shikakai powder in a shampoo-mask along with Reetha, Amla, Tulsi and some other ayurvedic powders and my hair washed well, became shiny and got rid of dandruff; also my hair stays clean for almost a week. I am thrilled and hope to never go back to chemical shampoos.
Just what I needed, besides finding a natural shampoo essential, it also helps with hair growth!
I use it together with net nettle powder in shampoo, cleanses, beautifies hair and maintains scalp health, fights dandruff and stimulates hair growth.
another purchase is coming, this time at 1 kg (the reetha one I've already got) is the perfect replacement, along with reetha powder, for anything you need to contain natural saponin (natural soap for hair, skin, clothes, etc); I find it perfect in shampoo masks, which I make - and because I generally add oils or butters, no need for conditioner, hair stays perfectly clean, treated, and even styled I would say : D when you are a little alchemist, the combinations are endless! free rein to imagination and inspiration :) love the smell of this powder, and the way it works perfectly, naturally, every time
Shikakai is the only shampoo I use because it has all the properties of a shampoo, without being chemical and degrading the hair. It cleanses the hair thoroughly and gently. I have dandruff on my scalp, and after the first shampoo it disappeared. Confera si stralucire stralucire hair, eu avandul hair dull, căutatam for a long time a natural solution, and I am grateful for I found it. I also add brahmi and a little nettle in the shampoo powder.
I have used it in shampoo for all hair types, hair has gotten healthier and more often, I am thinking of trying it in conditioner.
2 tablespoons of Shikakai powder, one tablespoon Amla powder and one charcoal lozenge work wonders for my hair with fattening tendencies. I mix everything with hot water and apply the paste to my hair for 15 minutes. My hair gets a nice sheen and dandruff is out of the question. Shampoo and mask at the same time.
Used in hair masks it's perfect. I use it in combination with Amla. It really beautifies the hair!
This is only the first use. I followed your instructions exactly and I am very pleased with the result. No conditioner needed, no other detangling sprays needed. It leaves the hair fine, it gives/returns its natural volume. I would like to point out that I have my natural brown hair and at the ends what is left of the blond I had in the past, which gave me great headaches after washing my hair (it was very untreated). I highly recommend and will certainly continue to use this powder with wonderful properties. Thank you, ELEMENTAL team!
I have long, wavy, fine wavy hair that gets very easily heated at the ends. From the first use I was very pleased with the result. It cleans hair very well, makes it silky and incredibly easy to comb. I used simple powder exactly as written on the packaging without conditioner and the result was surprising. I highly recommend!
I use this powder with water and put a little conditioner to be able to spread it on my hair. It's a wonder, cleans well even though I have very long hair. I was impressed because before I had made a hair mask of egg, fatty cream and oils and I couldn't believe that it cleaned my hair
I'm using this for the first time, and after following the instructions and ended up with a pseudo-cream in my hair, which actually had the consistency of coffee zest, which obviously didn't really spread on my hair. Is it possible that the cream has to be left overnight? I searched for info and found a few sources that so instruct.
