Apollo Pharmacy Shikakai Shampoo is formulated with shikakai, a traditional herbal ingredient known for its gentle cleansing properties. It can be used on low porosity hair, though the experience may vary depending on individual hair type and scalp condition. Shikakai helps clean the scalp and may remove light buildup from natural oils and dust, but it is not a strong clarifying shampoo for heavy product residue. Hair fall can have many different causes, and while shikakai has traditionally been used to support hair health, results differ from person to person. It is best to consult a dermatologist or trichologist about your condition, as they can guide you toward the most appropriate treatment.

Apollo Pharmacy Shikakai Shampoo is not sulfate-free and contains SLES, so it’s not ideal for chemically colour-treated hair if you want to preserve your colour for longer. If colour retention is a priority, go for a sulfate-free shampoo specifically labelled safe for colour-treated hair.
