Shikakai is commonly read as fruit for the hair, and its dried pods have been ground into hair washes for generations.
It cleanses gently without stripping, which is why it is paired with reetha and amla in the classic home wash.
In South India, a shikakai bath after an oil massage is a weekly ritual in many homes.
Our Shikakai comes from the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh.
It is prepared for our hair washes according to its classical protocol.
