Gloss and Glory for Your Hair: Our Coconut Shikakai Conditioner is the ultimate intensive care for damaged hair. The elixir wraps each strand like a protective coat, leaving a velvety, spicy scent that pampers both your hair and senses. From the first application, dry, dull hair is infused with creamy moisture. Even split ends and dry lengths are deeply nourished and protected. For all hair types, especially brittle, dull, and curly hair.

In Ayurveda, Shikakai, meaning "fruit for the hair," is a treasured ingredient. Combined with nourishing coconut oil, it forms a powerful duo in the khadi Coconut Shikakai Conditioner, delivering deep hydration, smoothness, and a glossy shine—without any harmful chemicals. Dull hair looks polished, and even wild curls appear beautifully defined.

With a pH of 4.5 to 5.0, the conditioner smooths the hair surface, enhancing its softness and structure.

The secret of Coconut Shikakai lies in the khadi Shikakai Elixir—a potent Ayurvedic extract made from handpicked herbs. The elixir is simmered following traditional Ayurvedic methods to amplify its healing properties. Up to 20% of the conditioner is made from this elixir, compared to just 2-5% in standard conditioners.

The creamy Shikakai Conditioner has a calming, spicy, slightly bitter aroma.

This is how you achieve the best results for healthy, beautiful hair after coloring with the ColorFinish Conditioner:

Rinse your hair thoroughly with clear water after coloring with plant-based hair color. Do not use shampoo!

Depending on your hair length, apply a hazelnut-sized amount of ColorFinish Conditioner to the colored sections, including the lengths and ends.

Gently massage the conditioner into your hair and leave it on for 3 minutes. You can also comb through the lengths with a wide-toothed comb.

Then rinse your hair thoroughly with clear water to remove any residual powder. Enjoy your shiny, easy-to-comb hair.

Tip: For long-lasting color and deep brilliance, we recommend applying khadi ColorCare Hair Oil 24 to 48 hours before your first shampoo wash.

Remember: Every person is unique, and so is every type of hair. Test new care products gently to find the best results for your individual hair type.

3. Simmered to Perfection

Following time-tested Ayurvedic methods, our herb, fruit, and bark mixtures are carefully simmered to unlock their full potential, allowing the essence to infuse into pure water or oil. The blend is then reduced to a quarter of its original volume, filtered, and aged to perfection before being used in our products.
