how to use amla reetha shikakai powder for hair wash - #42741
I am trying to figure out how to use amla reetha shikakai powder for hair wash, but honestly, I’m feeling a bit lost. I saw some of my friends raving about it, saying it's amazing for hair, and I just had to give it a shot. I mixed the powders together like they said, but my first wash didn't go as planned. I went a bit heavy on the amla, thinking it would be super beneficial since I’ve been dealing with some hair fall issues. Now my hair feels kinda sticky, and I’m not sure if that’s normal? 😩 My scalp is often oily, and I thought that using this would help, but I’ve read different things about how often to use it. Like, should I be using it once a week, or can I do it more often? Also, am I supposed to leave it in for a while or just rinse it off quickly? I want to make this work because I’ve heard that this blend can really improve hair quality. Any tips on how to use amla reetha shikakai powder for hair wash without making my hair feel like a greasy mess? Plzzz help! I just want my hair to look healthy.

To effectively use amla, reetha, and shikakai powders for hair washing, balance is key, especially given your oily scalp and hair fall concerns. Here’s a straightforward approach based on Ayurvedic principles to make the most of these herbal powders without leaving your hair sticky or greasy.
First, you’ll want to make sure you mix the powders in the right proportion. For oil scalp and hair fall issues, try a ratio of 1:1:2 of amla, reetha, and shikakai respectively. This means if you’re using one tablespoon of amla and reetha, use two tablespoons of shikakai. The increased amount of shikakai will help cleanse and remove excess oil effectively.
To prepare the mixture, you can combine the powders with water or herbal tea (like green tea) to form a paste. Use enough liquid to ensure a smooth consistency — not too watery but spreadable. Let this mix sit for at least 2 hours; if possible, overnight soaking can bring out more of its saponins (natural cleansers), especially from reetha and shikakai.
When you’re ready to wash, apply the paste to your wet scalp and hair, massaging gently. The key is not to leave it too long on the scalp; around 5 to 10 minutes should suffice. Especially if your hair feels sticky, this could be a sign of residue from not enough rinsing or over-leaving it on. So, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the water runs clear.
Frequency-wise, start with using this blend once a week. Since your scalp is oily, you might eventually increase to twice weekly if you don’t notice any dryness. If hair fall seems prominent with more frequent use, dial it back and give your hair more time to adjust.
Remember that Ayurvedic treatments often take time to show their full effect. Ensure that you follow up with a light, natural conditioner or just a final rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar or rose water - it helps balance pH and adds shine.
Monitor how your scalp and hair respond over a few weeks, and adjust as necessary, as individual responses can vary. Keep an eye on the effects, and if any issues persist, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized assessment.
