Shikakai and Aloe Vera are both staples of Ayurvedic hair care, but they suit different needs.
Shikakai: the traditional deep-cleanse
Shikakai, combined with Noni, Aloe Vera and Aritha, offers a deeper cleanse that helps remove build-up and excess oil without sulphates. It suits those who wash less frequently and want a thorough cleanse each time.
Aloe Vera: the gentle daily option
A pure Aloe Vera-based shampoo, blended with Neem, Amla and Bhringraj, is gentler and suits daily or alternate-day washing, especially for those with a sensitive or dry scalp.
Which one is right for you?
If your scalp feels oily and needs a thorough refresh, Shikakai is the better fit. If you wash often and want a gentle, non-stripping formula, Aloe Vera Shampoo is the more comfortable daily choice. Some people alternate between the two through the week.
