    @kveena I recently bought Hesh brand Shikakai, Amla, Reetha and Brahmi powders. But wondering how to use? Should I soak all these overnight and then apply? What is the easiest way to apply it?

    I would mix 100 grams each of amla,reeta,shikakai, fenugreek seed powder and store in a glass jar. You can also add Brahmi (bacopa monnieri) to this. A night before head bath take around 3 spoons or so depending on your hair length and mix with hot boiling water into a paste. Next day morning grind this into a very smooth paste and use as shampoo. Refrigerate any leftover for use within a week.Since you have an oily scalp, you can alter the measurements by mixing more of reeta-shikakai and less of amla-fenugreek.For example,mix 100 grams reeta,100 grams shikakai,25 grams amla,25 grams fenugreek seed powder and little brahmi (optional) and store in a glass jar.

    Alternatively I would only use the 4 basic ingredients (amla,reeta,shikakai,fenugreek) for shampoo while I would make a good use of brahmi by making mineral oil free Brahmi Amla hair oil at home.This oil is not only works as a memory booster, it cools the mind, reduces split ends and promotes dark hair growth.
