    TLDR The herbal shampoo is less damaging and improves hair's appearance.
    The document discusses the formulation of a shampoo using herbal extracts such as amla, ritha, shikakai, bhringraja, henna, neem, and kalonji, and evaluates its various properties including pH, wetting time, foaming, detergency, surface tension, viscosity, solid content, skin irritation, and stability. The study concludes that while sodium lauryl sulfate, a common surfactant in shampoos, is highly toxic and damages the structural integrity of hair fibers, natural conditioners included in the herbal shampoo formulation help maintain the hair's morphological integrity and enhance its consistency and shine.
