hair care products which is mainly used for washing up of oil, dirt, and
pollutants from our hair. The main motive of using a shampoo is to remove

In ancient period shampoo is
found to be made up of wide variety of herbs and their extracts were used as
shampoos. Shampoos were generally made up by boiling sapindus with dried Indian
gooseberry and other herbs which makes a shampoo more effective, soft and
shiny. Beside this there is usage of various other materials among which
shikakai hold a significant spot. In colonial countries one found the usage of
husks and straw which were generally burned with ashes and later it was mixed
with water to give it a lather effect. The ashes and lather were scrubbed into
hair and rinsed out thus leaving the hair both clean and dry.
In modern era we find the
prevalence of Pure Natural shampoo which
is generally made up by mixing a surfactant which includes that of a sodium
lauryl sulfate with its co surfactant with water in order to form a thick and
viscous liquid. Essential ingredients like preservative are also used in
shampoos of today to give it a fragrance.
