Comparative study of Shikakai and Reetha with commercially available shampoos

This study compares the efficacy and safety of Shikakai and Reetha with commercially available shampoos. While chemical shampoos often contain harmful substances like sulphates, parabens, formaldehyde, and triclosan, which can cause skin irritation, hair dryness, and environmental harm, Shikakai and Reetha are found to be equally effective in cleaning hair without causing irritation. Additionally, they are biodegradable, non-expensive, and easy to use, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional shampoos.
