Description

Shikakai, also known as Acacia concinna, is a climbing shrub with dark brown pods and delicate pink flowers. It’s revered in Ayurveda for its incredible hair benefits. Shikakai naturally lathers like soap without stripping away your hair’s natural oils, gently cleansing and leaving it soft and manageable.
