Process

1. In a jar, combine the shikakai powder with half a cup of oil. You can use basil, avocado or coconut oil for this recipe.
2. Store this mixture in a cool, dark place for a couple of weeks. Keep shaking the jar every now and then to ensure that the oil is well-infused with Shikakai. The oil will be ready to use after about 2 weeks.

4. Massage your scalp for about 10-15 minutes and then work the oil into your hair, from the roots to the tips. Leave it in for an additional 30 minutes. Optionally, you can leave the oil in your hair overnight.
