Benefits of this ayurvedic hair mask
Shikakai: Loaded with vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, shikakai nourishes your hair follicles, boosts hair growth, and strengthens your strands from root to tip. As it has a low pH level, shikakai eliminates dandruff, and aids with dryness issues, leaving the hair glossier with every use.
Amla: Rich in Vitamin C and essential fatty acids, Amla decreases hair fall, strengthens your strands, and adds shine to your hair. Apart from this it also combats dandruff.
Yoghurt: Carrying protein and zinc, yoghurt helps in balancing the pH level of your scalp, and keeps it free from dandruff, boils, or itchiness.
Lemon: Lemon is a natural hair conditioner that kills dandruff, reduces hair fall, and strengthens your hair.
Fenugreek: This ancient spice builds the hair follicles in all literal sense, helping the hair to grow stronger right from the root.
