Shikakai Powder by Merlion Naturals | Acacia Concinna | 100% Natural Shampoo (200gm)

Have used the product (shikakai,amla,hibiscus,reeta/soapnut),as a mixture and used it post oiling the hair.Product is excellent & keeps hair soft.Though all the four packets cost around RS 1100, the quality is good & the powder quantity usage per bath is not much with the mixing of the four packets.

Currently am using second pack. 3 Days a week hairwash, this lasts for about 45 days. The first packet I got was very good and powder texture was really smooth, but the second packet has the grainy powder. However, I didnt notice any difference with the product as such. After using for two months, I can clearly tell this product is indeed a natural cleanser and conditioner. Hair shine and smoothness has noticeably increased.Overall very nice product.Rating 4 stars since I find it quite expensive. 300/- for 300gms is bit on the higher side.Will I continue to use it ? YES

I've been suffering from dandruff and hair fall problems for the last 5 years. Been to the dermatologist. Taken medication. Applied all sorts of home remedies and what not. Nothing worked. Used Reetha and Shikakai of this brand together (two spoons each), applied tropically and i cannot tell you what a difference it has made. My dandruff is almost gone with continuous use and hair fall is now normal (compared to picking off huge hairballs from the shower drain)

Very good product. Replaces all chemical loaded shampoo. Suits hair also well. Do try it.

Average product

This particular product is found to be adulterated fully with some elements .. it has no smell of shiyakai powder and this pack contains red Color powder instead of shiyakai powder . No clue exactly what this contains and has been sent to local lab to find out exactly what it contains

Works wonder . Leaves ur hair soft

I really liked the product..! Shikakai in its purest form. Thank you Merlion for providing this product. Happy to know that there are some companies who adhere to standards of authenticity. All the very best .

In India where I grew up this is traditional replacement for Shampoo and I used this regularly back in India. I can clearly feel that this Brand is good and authentic.You can make paste by mixing Shkkakai Powder with water (only mix it for the amount you need for single bath). By applying mixed paste in scalp and massaging it you will get maximum benefit out of this product and thats the way it is traditionally used. It works wonderfully especially for a bath immediately after oil massage as it removes all the oil from body and hair perfectly and leave you skin and hair shiny. I tried Shampoo after oil bath and it does not even come close to ShikakaiI will add pictures soonPro:1) the packing is good2) From my experience it is authentic and pureCons:None

This product arrived on time and intact.Been using shikakai on my hair for almost 5 months. I was sick of commercial shampoo and conditioner and have been low poo since 2016. I finally went no poo after using shikakai October 2017.It’s ground very fine. I have very fine, long, and curly hair so I like to submerge my hair in the tub and massage the fine grains out of my hair. I rinse with the shower head. My hair is very clean, silky, and smooth, and shiny, and healthy! I only wash with shikakai 1-2x a week and my hair isn’t greasy in between.I am very happy with this product and will purchase more as needed. I have referred many of my friends to this product!If Merlion International is reading this review, I love your product and am so very happy to have found it. I reviewed many other options and decided to try yours. I do not regret my decision. To anyone else reading my review, don’t hesitate. You will love shikakai. There are different methods to use it on your hair. Go to the internet to find the right method for you!

It got in my eye and it was very irritated and red I rinsed with cool water for about two minutes but it still was red and irritated it seems like there is a blind spot when looking out of that eye which is my lift eye and it keeps feeling like something is in my eye when there is nothing in there.Even though it’s not good to get the product in your eye I must say that the product did make my hair more easier to detangle and it felt stronger. If you can, have someone else apply it to your hair with you head held back so not to get in your eyes.

I bought this to switch from chemical shampoos to natural alternative. Use this to remove after i apply castor oil to my hair. very effective. But one should also use a conditioner after this.

This is really powerful. I use on my natural hair to cleanse the build up. I don't follow the directions as it is really powerful and a little goes a long ways. I have extremely thick and medium length hair and use 1/2 scoop and water to make a paste. I recommend you cleanse scalp then remainder on your hair. It will make hair like straw but luxurious when you condition. Brought my super natural curls back. I thought it was the hard water and found it was the build up. I co-wash daily with conditioner and wash and go.
