Glamorous suppleness, intensive moisture and smoothing protection against your split ends!

khadi Shining Shikakai Ayurvedic Elixir Shampoo is the fountain of gloss for dry and dull hair. It deeply moisturizes hair and adds suppleness. The secret of this magical effect lies in the khadi Shining Shikakai Elixir. This Ayurvedic plant extract combines the individual effects of hand-picked Indian medicinal plants into a whole and multiplies their powers. The khadi Shining Shikakai Elixir is the result of gently infusing herbs over an open fire in a traditional process according to ancient Ayurvedic formulas.

As soon as you start washing your hair you will notice how your previously brittle, tired, or dull hair is soaked in invigorating moisture. The creamy foam of the Elixir forms a silky layer around the length of your hairs and ends.

The Shikakai shells are from the fruit of the Acacia Concinna plant and are considered a superfood in Ayurveda. In Hindi, Shikakai means “fruit for the hair”. It represents intensive moisture penetration, shine, and natural suppleness. The combination of moisturizing Aloe Vera and the Shikakai in the khadi Elixir is a dream team for shiny and healthy suppleness and a smooth hair texture – without any chemicals.

Similar to your hair and scalp, the khadi Shining Shikakai Ayurvedic Elixir Shampoo has a pH value of 4.0 to 5.0. The pH of your scalp is brought back into balance in a natural way. If you color your hair naturally, such as with khadi natural hair color, khadi recommends using the 3-step ritual to effectively prepare for the khadi Shining Shikakai Shampoo. This noticeably helps to protect the intensity of the color.

 

 

 

3-step ritual - Washing + Dyeing + Oiling

1. Washing & Pretreatment

Natural hair coloring starts with the preparation. Because for the best color results with khadi Natural Hair Color khadi recommends an all-round hair care routine with certified natural cosmetics - from shampoo to conditioner.

khadi Hair Care Products fit the best. They are certified natural cosmetics, gentle on the hair and don't contain ingredients that could weaken the coloring power of Natural Hair Color. The ayurvedic shampoos from khadi have an ideal ph value, which promotes the coloring power of khadi Natural Hair Colors.

If you have just switched to natural cosmetics, you can also perform a thorough deep cleansing, before coloring with khadi Natural Hair Color. This will also help you improve your results. Use khadi Detox Hair Mask. The hair mask removes silicones, styling product residues and old deposits from your hair.

 

2. Coloring naturally with khadi Natural Hair Color

You can now color your hair with your chosen khadi nuance. Simply apply the color on your freshly washed hair.

You are unsure which khadi nuance to choose? khadi Nuance Color Chart shows you possible color results on your initial hair color. So you quickly recognize which color suits you perfectly. In addition, it also shows when you could perform a pre-pigmentation (when you want to dye light hair very dark).

For detailed instructions about coloring your hair with khadi natural hair color, watch the video or watch the instructions here.

3. Oiling to set the color

To set your new hair color perfectly, you should use khadi hair oil before the first time you wash your hair after your coloration. For example khadi Amla hair oil. Hair oil helps capture pigments in your hair and makes your new hair color really radiant.

Just give some hair oil in moist hands and spread it in your hair - from the roots to the tips. Let the oil soak in as long as you like: from 30 minutes to overnight. The longer the oil stays in your hair, the better.

Regularly used before shampooing, khadi hair oil helps protect your color and keep it radiant. The only exception: right before your next time coloring your hair with khadi Natural Hair color you can omit the hair oil, so that your khadi nuance can easily sit on your hair.
