    TLDR Herbal shampoos are a safe, eco-friendly option that promote healthy hair.
    The article discusses the growing popularity of herbal shampoos as a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional chemical shampoos. Herbal shampoos, made from natural ingredients like hibiscus, amla, shikakai, soapnut, cassia, bhringraj, and aloe vera, are gentle on the scalp and hair, promoting hair growth, reducing dandruff, and improving hair texture. These shampoos contain beneficial compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, tannins, vitamins, and essential oils, which contribute to their effectiveness. The paper highlights the importance of formulation parameters like pH balance, foaming ability, and antimicrobial activity, emphasizing the non-toxic and biodegradable nature of herbal shampoos, which can be paired with eco-friendly packaging for a sustainable hair care solution.
