Frequently Asked Questions
-
An Ayurvedic shampoo cleanses the hair and scalp using traditional botanicals like shikakai, reetha, amla, and bhringraj, usually in a milder, often sulphate-free base, so it cleans without stripping the hair's natural oils. It brings the benefits of herbs to a convenient liquid format.
- Herbal actives instead of harsh synthetic detergents.
- Often free of sulphates, parabens, and silicones.
- Cleanses while supporting scalp and hair health.
-
Choose the shampoo by the herb leading it and your main concern.
- Hair fall: bhringraj and amla shampoos.
- Dandruff and itch: neem and tea-tree shampoos.
- Dryness: hibiscus and aloe shampoos.
- Oily scalp: reetha and clarifying herbal shampoos.
-
For many people, yes, sulphate-free shampoos clean more gently and preserve the hair's natural oils, making them kinder to dry, curly, coloured, and damaged hair, and to sensitive scalps. The trade-off is a softer lather, which is not a sign of poor cleaning. Very oily scalps may occasionally want a deeper clarifying wash. Overall, gentle sulphate-free herbal shampoos suit most hair beautifully; judge by how soft and comfortable your hair feels, not by how much it foams.
-
Two or three times a week suits most hair, with oily scalps needing more and dry or curly hair less. Daily washing, especially with harsh shampoos, strips natural oils and can leave hair dry and the scalp irritated, while washing too rarely lets oil and build-up accumulate. Pair washing with regular oiling, and let your hair guide you. Clean, soft, and comfortable is the goal; squeaky and stripped means you are washing too often or too harshly.
-
Focus the shampoo on the scalp, be gentle, and rinse thoroughly.
- Wet hair fully, then apply shampoo mainly to the scalp.
- Massage the scalp with fingertips, not nails, to cleanse.
- Let the lather rinse down the lengths; don't scrub the ends.
- Rinse well, then condition the mid-lengths and ends.
-
Yes, pre-wash oiling is a wonderful Ayurvedic habit: massaging warm oil into the scalp an hour or more before shampooing nourishes the hair and roots, and the shampoo then washes the oil away cleanly. This pairing gives you both deep nourishment and a fresh clean. Use a gentle shampoo afterwards so you do not need to wash twice harshly. Oiling before washing, a couple of times a week, keeps hair strong, soft, and shiny over time.
-
Sometimes, yes, hair moving from silicone-heavy commercial shampoos to gentle herbal ones can feel different for a week or two as the silicone build-up clears, occasionally seeming drier or heavier before it settles into its natural texture. This transition is normal and temporary. Give a new herbal shampoo a couple of weeks, pair it with conditioning and oiling, and most hair adjusts to feeling softer and healthier. Patience through the switch is usually well rewarded.
