Ayurvedic hair washing and conditioning

Clean hair takes up henna, cassia and indigo more evenly, so what you wash with matters. Our natural hair conditioners and washes are pure ground plants with no dye, sulphates or synthetic additives. Mix them with warm water into a paste, massage into wet hair and scalp, then rinse.

Choose your powder

Shikakai: dried Acacia concinna pods that wash gently, help detangle and leave hair soft.
Reetha: soapnut powder with a mild cleansing action and a soft, natural lather.
Lotus: pure ground lotus flower, a traditional shampoo and conditioner for all hair types.
Tulsi: dried holy basil leaf, for hair washes and face masks.
Aloe vera powder: mixes into a gel for a softening hair mask, and keeps far longer than fresh aloe.
Hair care and conditioning pack: amla, shikakai, multani mitti, khus, neem and reetha with lemon peel, as a once-a-week wash.

A traditional hair wash blend

Reetha, shikakai and amla are often mixed together: reetha cleanses, shikakai is valued for softness and amla for shine. Try equal parts to start, then adjust to suit your hair.

Using them with henna

Wash with shikakai, reetha, lotus or tulsi the day before you colour. They remove oils and product build-up without coating the hair, so natural dyes bind evenly. After colouring, wait a day or two before washing again so the colour can settle. Wash out any hair oil thoroughly before applying henna.

Good to know

Powder washes do not lather like bottled shampoo, but they still clean well. Keep them away from your eyes, rinse thoroughly so no residue is left, and do a patch test first if you have sensitive skin. Store the powders sealed in a cool, dry place.

Many people use these natural hair conditioners alongside our amla hair oil and SLS-free neem shampoo. For colour, see our henna hair dye range, and for more natural hair conditioners and powders, browse hair and herbal powders.
