- Amla nourishes hair and scalp and adds natural shine.
- Bhringraj supports healthy-looking hair in traditional packs.

- Handy 40 g pouches for trial, travel or gifting.
What’s Inside
5 pouches × 40 g, 200 g in total:
- 1 × Amla (Indian Gooseberry) Powder, 40 g – vitamin C-rich amla fruit, an Ayurvedic hair classic.
- 1 × Reetha (Soapnut / Aritha) Powder, 40 g – lathers naturally in warm water.
- 1 × Shikakai Powder, 40 g – Acacia concinna pods, a mild, low-lather cleanser.

How to Use
- Hair wash: mix 1 tablespoon each of amla, reetha and shikakai with warm water to a thin paste.
- Massage into wet scalp and hair for 2–3 minutes, keeping it away from the eyes, and rinse well with plain water. Use 2–3 times a week.
- Hair pack: mix 2–3 tablespoons of bhringraj, hibiscus and/or amla with water, curd or aloe vera gel.
- Apply on scalp and lengths, leave for 30–45 minutes and rinse with water or a mild shampoo.
- Do a patch test before first use. If the paste gets into the eyes, rinse with plain water.
Who Is It For
For men and women who want to try a traditional herbal hair wash before buying larger packs, and for anyone with oily, normal or dry hair who prefers a low-lather cleanse. Those with dry hair can add more amla and hibiscus and less reetha.
Why HerbtoniQ
Each of the five herbs is packed separately as a single-ingredient, finely milled powder, hygienically packed in India, so you can adjust the ratio to suit your hair.
FAQs
What is the ratio of amla, reetha and shikakai for hair wash?
Equal parts is the usual starting point. Reduce reetha slightly if your hair feels dry.
Does this powder lather like shampoo?
Reetha gives a light natural lather, much less than liquid shampoo, but it still cleanses.
Can I boil the powders instead of making a paste?
Yes. Simmer a spoonful of each in water for a few minutes, cool, strain and use the liquid as a hair wash.
For external use only. Do a patch test before first use.
