Shikakai- In order to prepare it the fruit pods, leaves and bark of the plant are dried, ground into a powder, then made into a paste or boiled in water. While this traditional shampoo does not produce the normal amount of lather that a sulfate-containing shampoo would, it is considered a good cleanser. It is mild, having a naturally low pH, and doesn't strip hair of natural oils.
