Havintha Natural Amla Reetha Shikakai Methidana And Hibiscus Powder Shampoo for Dry Hair – 227 grams …

It is a good product but doesn't form much lather

Money wastage

Worst product, created allergy on skin

Over priced

As expected

I was kind of skeptical but I figured why not. I have fine wavy hair, low porosity, color treated, mid back length hair. I did some research before buying this product or mixing the blend myself. This review is of my first impression after one wash. Yes, it is not sudsy and you will not get a lather - it’s all natural. Yes, it will still clean your hair well (I did a castor oil scalp pre-wash treatment and that stuff is THICK and washed right out) . Yes, it has a scent and being that it is natural herbs you can expect earthy herbal scent. It does not smell bad, I don’t mind it. If you don’t like earthy herbal scents it’s not for you (ps I purchased this one over the one without hibiscus just because of the added benefit of hibiscus for my hair, it will not alter the scent and make it smell floral. It’s a herbal blend.) . No, the hibiscus didn’t “dye my hair” and/ or no residue I'm assuming some people didn’t wash it out throughly and had some transfer on the towel? My hair is also color treated and I recently put in a color depositing mask which does wash out after washes (even with regular shampoo) this week and it looks the same. However, it was freshly put in and usually lasts 3 washes in my hair anyway so I wanted to mention that because if you have color treated hair it doesn’t matter what shampoo you use you still need to use a toner or touch up your color (especially if it’s temporary or a demi color) . Anyway my hair is soft and it worked well to wash out the oil. I mixed it to a thicker consistency similar to crepe pancake mix so it was easier for me to apply especially because I’m clumsy. I followed up with an Ayurveda conditioner bar and my hair didn’t feel tangled at all. Usually with regular shampoo and conditioner I get snags and tangles so that was nice. Once my hair was dry (I air dried) I loved how it felt. It was soft and not frizzy. I also added a touch of Alma oil on my ends when my hair was damp since my ends are dry naturally. Overall good first impression.

It is a tad difficult to use since one has to keep a small container to mix it up. However, it mixes quite well with minimal stirring. Have to take care while applying since the eyes start burning if it goes inside. After trying a ton of other ready to use shampoos, this one is probably the most natural, non toxic and effective one you can buy. No matter how dirty/dandruff prone your hair is, using it twice a week can itself reduce all kinds of hair problems within two weeks itself. No need to even use a hair conditioner. Dont be fooled by its absolute lack of lather. Infact lather shampoos are worst for hair.

I apply it whenever I wash hair and it yield good results ☺️
