Why and How to Use Amla, Reetha & Shikakai for Hair?

Why_&_How_to_Use_Amla,_Reetha_&_Shikakai_for_Hair

Our findings say that Amla, Reetha, Shikakai, these three herbal fruits might coax you to break up with chemical infused hair care products. That your hair’s been dating for a long time. We think you should give a fair chance to our suggested trio of

  • Amla Reetha Shikakai Oil
  • Amla Reetha Shikakai Shampoo
  • Amla Reetha Shikakai Powder Hair Pack.

Just the way, you have given a chance to the advertisement-driven products that you are using right now.  Don’t you think so? If there’s nothing like homemade food, then there’s also nothing like made-at-home, Gooseberry, Soapnut, and Acacia Concinna – hair shampoo, hair oil and hair pack. This might sound exaggerated but we have a valid reason behind saying this…

Why use Amla Reetha Shikakai for Hair?

Here’s why you should apply the rich combination of Amla, Reetha, and Shikakai on your hair:

1) Amla

Though there are many benefits of using Amla for hair but the most important benefit of all is that-

Amla (Gooseberry in English) is said to be one of the berries that contain the highest amount of antioxidants.

Antioxidants can repair your damaged hair cells and can protect your existing hair cells from further damages. Taking care of hair cells is important because from growing hair to graying hair, everything depends upon how your hair cells function. Hence it is important to keep your hair cells healthy and protected.

Even for hair loss/hair baldness treatment through Stem Cells Therapy, the diminishing numbers of hair cells are increased, by injecting stem cells into our head. But why spend so much of money on such treatments, when we are telling you a natural, easy and economical way of increasing the life of your hair cells

2) Reetha

Whereas, Reetha (Soapnut in English) is known to be filled with Iron. You must know that antioxidants are found in three forms. They are:

  • Antioxidant Enzymes
  • Antioxidant Nutrients
  • Antioxidant Phytochemicals

Reetha is known to contain antioxidant enzymes. And for catalyzing the effect of the blessing antioxidant enzymes on hair, iron plays an important role.

3) Shikakai

For the absorption of Iron from Reetha, you will need Vitamin C. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant nutrient. That is found in large quantities inside the hair benefiting from Shikakai (Acacia Concinna in English).

Speaking about Antioxidant Phytochemicals, they are present in all three herbal fruits. This shows that we didn’t randomly pair up Amla, Reetha, and Shikakai together. Hence we suggested this combination to you, for a reason.

How to use Amla Reetha Shikakai on hair?

For performing the 3 crucial stages of hair care, i.e. Oiling, Shampooing, and Conditioning, you should use these 3 herbals fruits, the following way. But before this, know that-

  1. for Amla Reetha Shikakai Hair Tonic Oil -why we have to heat the mixture of amla , reetha , shikakaki and coconet oil ???? can we not use it without heating just by mixing and applying it ???

    1. Hi Ishant,

      Heating all of them will improve their mixability, which will benefit in over all mixture.

      If you want to use it without mixing it, then you can use that too.

  2. I’ve been using the above mentioned herbs for my hair and I love the way my hair is blossoming. Thanks for the information and recipes. I’ve also been using fermented rice water for hair growth. the herbal shampoo and herbal hair masques with amla, brahmi, neem, fenugreek, and henna are amazing.

    1. Hi Keer,

      It depends on your hair health and your current situation.

      I think you should first try it for 1-2 months, then if you see any visible signs then you should continue it.

      And it will take around 4-6 months to really reach your goals.

      1. Thank you so much for your reply. It has been two months since the time I have used it. I can feel new roots and can also feel the thickness. It actually works.

    1. Hi Ramya,

      Sorry, but there is no single pack for 2 problems, that’s why i has given several options to choose from.

      If you want solution for both problems, you can try them in alternate time.

      Like first use hair loss pack and then hair pack for dry and brittle. This option can give you results for both.

      Hope it helps.

  3. Does the combination of all these three products lead to darkening of hair as well? I mean will it make the hair color more black or dark?
    As I have hair color so I want to avoid that!

    1. Yes, the combination of these 3 will definitely improve your hair’s health and it will definitely improve your hair’s color also.

  6. This is an amazing process as I have been using this all my childhood .. just have a quick query – Can we make the pulp of all 3 ingredients and store for a week ? As this is a lengthy process and especially if you are working women gets difficult. If storing is possible shampoos can be avoided completed evening during washing on weekdays 🙂
    Initially my mom use to take all the trouble but now after me being married have to manage all by self.

    1. First check it by smelling it. If it isn’t smell like normal then don’t use it.

      Otherwise, you can use it.

    if I can?then which herb that could be?
    please help me..

    1. Hi Poushi,

      Shikakai is also available in powdered form. You can buy it from any online store from your country or you can ask in some general store near your home.

  10. Hi Jyoti,
    I read your article and loved it. Planning to try it. But I have Amla, Reetha and Shikakai in powder form, How much proportion should I take each of them if I need to make hair tonic oil and shampoo from these powders. If you can tell me the measurment in tablespoon and cup it will be a great favor.
    Thank you for sharing this useful information with us.

    1. Hi Asra,

      If you don’t have these 3 in fruit pod form, then you can use them in powdered form.

      Talking about quantity and proportion, use can take 2-3 tablespoons of each of them.

      As, you will be using it for first time, test whether this quantity is sufficient for your hair or not?

      Hope it will help.

  11. Hi,
    First of all I’m really grateful for your remedies. I made the tonic, shampoo and the mask and I’ve been using it for nearly one month. I have can feel the new hairs growing. However, I have dry scalp problem and my scalp feels little soar. It becomes itchy after a day of shampooing. Is there any particular mask for that?
    For mask I used Amla, Reetha, shikakai, Brahmi and aloe vera. What Can I add/remove to make a mask suitable for my scalp?
    Thank you in advance!!

      1. Hi Jyoti,
        I don’t like to use Ghee or any diary products in making the mask. Can you suggest me some alternative to ghee for dry scalp?
        Thank you.

  12. For Hair greying/white hair, you have mentioned to use Heena. Is it really necessary to use Heena ? I personally dont like color of hair after applying heena, i want black hair. can I use only tea instrad of Heena. Is mixure of Amla, reetha and shikakai itself soaked in iron vessel is not sufficient to solve this problem?

  13. I have the problem of hair loss and dandruff flakes I consulted the doctor as well but it is of no use as all the treatment is temporary. My friend asked me to boil in meduiu heat the powder of amla retha and sekhakai it will help in curing flakes of dandruff. So my question is will it be good to reduce my dandruff and itch. ???

    1. Hi Sunny,

      The only option you have is to try it out, As all of them are natural herbs, so it won’t give you any side effects.

      You can try it out the see the difference yourself.,

  14. I tried it 1 time yet the good thing about my hair is that whatever i apply on them they show sudden results from the first wash they look soft there is a change and now i will wash today for second time . I took i litre mustard oil heat it up and then made a powder of amla retha sekakai at home and mixed all these into oil cooked for several minutes when the powder became black i strain it and put the oil in to bottle for use after it came on room temperature
    Will share more changes if i observed or felt. 🙂

    1. Hi Sunny, i have a similar problem – dandruff, itchy scalp, and thin hair and hqir loss too. Do you use it as a mask or shampoo. I mean for washing your hair do you use a separate shampoo? Do you use a conditioner too?

  15. Hi!
    I have very thin hair. From past one year I have a lot of dandruff, itchy scalp, and have lost a lot of hair too. I used some homeopathy medicine but it didn’t help much. Can you please recommend something?
    Thanks in advance!!

    1. Also, I have a pack of Amla, Reetha, shikakai powder. Can I use this instead of the pods for the treatment?

  16. Hey,
    I’ve got a pacmet of amla ,reetha nd shikakai pack from grocery shop butthe pack says dt it should b used in place of shampoo, can I use it as hair mask?

  17. Hi!
    Thank you for this great article. I have recently started using amla reetha shikakai as a shampoo. At first, it cleaned my hair just fine. After a week it isn’t working on my hair properly at all. My hair is clean but oily. Should I increase the amount of the mixture I soak in the water??

    One more question would this shampoo be able to properly take out the oil I applied in my hair ??

    Thanks

  18. Can I use the hair mask for thick growing hair first, and then apply the shampoo to rinse it properly ?

  19. Is there any difference between Shikaki fruit and shikaki fruit pods. For making the oil it says fruit but for the shampoo it says fruit pods?

  20. Mam,
    Thankyou for your great article. It’s really a natural way of keep our hair healthy and strong if we use it meticulously.
    However Madam, I would like to add about bhringraj powder as you have not mentioned anywhere in your above applications. Since this is also a powerful herb, so my doubt is – can we add this powder on any of your 10 above applications. Please advice for which of above items, we may add on or substitute with Bhringraj powder, if so is the case.

If it’s possible can you clear that up for me please. Thank you.
