It’s incredible to see traditionally derived ingredients making a comeback as a savior in the skin and hair industry. One such ingredient is Shikakai (Acacia concinna), a shrub that originated and is commonly found in India. This prominent shrub from the Ayurveda industry has created a lot of buzz in the hair care industry. All thanks to its high nutritional properties, Shikakai has the ability to detox the scalp while improving the quality of hair.
Let’s have a look at the marvelous hair care benefits of Shikakai for Hair :
Control hair fall

Uncountable falling of hair strands is the red flag that something is wrong with your hair. Using Shikakai such damaged hair can conciliate the situation gradually. The vitamins and antioxidants found in Shikakai nourish the hair follicles while preventing them from breakage.
