is increased which in turn makes the hair grow quickly. A spoon is

[ Shikakai ]
Acacia Concinna (Shikakai) is a small shrub-like tree which grows in the
warm, dry plains of central India. For centuries the people who have had
access to this tree have used its pod-like fruit to clean their hair.
They collect, dry and grind this pod into a powder which is considered a
superior cleanser for "lustrous long hair" and has been reported as
"promoting hair growth and preventing dandruff". Because of these
benefits, this powder was named "shikakai" which literally translates as
"fruit for the hair"
Typically, shikakai is mixed
with water to make a paste which is worked through the hair. It lathers
moderately and cleans hair beautifully. It has a natural low pH, is
extremely mild, and doesn't strip hair of natural oils. Usually no rinse
or conditioner is used since shikakai also acts as a detangler. This
ancient product is probably the world's original pH balanced shampoo.
Shikakai is a complete tonic
for retaining complete softness of hair. It is a unique remedy for
natural and beautiful hair. The Meera hairwash powder is prepared for
your use with the choicest of Shikakai. Efficient process hygiene
maintains the nourishing essences of the Shikakai.
It also helps in removing
dandruff and lice. Shikakai is a nut from a tree. The powder is used to
wash hair. It is very effective in removing oil and dirt from hair. The
normal practice is to apply oil to hair and scalp and allow it soak for
sometime. This will keep the body cool, reducing body heat & also
prevent the scalp from getting dry. The powdered shikakai is used as a
shampoo to wash off the oil.
Various other items like amla,
fenugreek (vendayam), green gram (payaru), curry leaves (karuvaepilai),
hibiscus flowers are dried along with the nut and powdered. Amla,
vendayam, hibiscus have a cooling effect. and aid in hair growth.
