One of the important points that Ayurveda points towards is avoiding excessive use of shampoo, laden with chemicals, and that may also dry up natural oils. It suggests natural cleansers such as, shikakai, reetha and amla powder which coat the scalp with moisture power and yet removes dirt. Once a week, using an herbal mask, like hibiscus and coconut milk or fenugreek and yogurt, not only provides moisture, but keeps dandruff at bay and increases the elasticity of the hair, making strands shiny and manageable.
