How to Use Shikakai Powder as a Shampoo
There are four ways that you can use powder to wash your hair as listed below.
Squeeze Bottle or Jug Method
This is the method I have mostly been using as I’ve found it the easiest.
Place 1-2 tsp of the powder into a squeeze bottle or jug.
Once you are in the shower and ready to wash your hair, mix it with the warm shower water and give it a good mix (or shake if using the squeeze bottle) and then pour it over your head. I used the squeeze bottle to better direct it onto my scalp.
Gently massage your scalp and leave it sitting for 2 minute before rinsing out. Give your squeeze bottle or jug a good rinse after using.
Paste Method
Use 2 tsp of powder mixed with water to make a thick paste.
Shampoo paste
To use this paste as a shampoo in the shower, gently massage it onto the scalp and hair before rinsing.
Paste Mask
Alternatively, you can apply the paste to your hair and scalp as a mask. Leave it on the hair for 30 minutes before rinsing out.
