By Vinita K.
Hi girls!

This is my first post ever and I’m super excited 🙂 to be a part of IMBB. I have been following IMBB for the last one year and it has been fun.
I am going to review Ayur’s herbal shampoo. It has Amla , Shikakai and Reetha in it. All are considered to be good for the hair. I picked this up because I wanted something herbal for my hair and Ayur is a very well known brand. I had tried their face wash a few years back for my oily skin. Okay now let us come back to the shampoo.

My take on Ayur herbal shampoo
I always thought that herbal products are completely herbal but when I saw the ingredients of this shampoo I actually realised that it has got so many chemicals in it! Maybe that’s the reason why they have mentioned that it should be used only once or twice a week and not daily.
This shampoo has a little runny consistency and is brownish in colour. When I use it to wash my hair after a week I really require a lot of it. It lathers well and has a mild herbal fragrance that doesn’t linger for long. After the wash my hair feels soft and smooth. I have been using it for more than a month now. I feel it is good. It does condition my hair as I have not been using any kind of conditioner after my wash. It has not actually controlled my dandruff but let’s see maybe it will over a period of time.
Pros
- Very pocket friendly.
- Easily available.
- Contains herbal extracts.
- Has a conditioning effect.
Cons
- A lot of product is needed for a single wash.
- Has a runny consistency.
- Not 100% herbal.
Will I repurchase this product?
Maybe yes, I would like to try their other variants.
IMBB Rating: 3.5/5 (Because of the chemicals in it)
who’s article is it?? secret secret??definitely not Rati’s……. well written! have faint memories of this shampoo at home!
Thanks a lot! This is my very first post on IMBB.
me sure not Rati!!! nevertheless, good review 🙂 i used this shampoo 1ce….8 or 9 yrs back at least! dint like it much though 🙁
Thanks! ya it does have a lot of chemicals
Ayur products have loads of chemicals in them 🙁
U r right 🙂
true.. Ayur products have loads of chemicals.. Used this shampoo one and totally hated it..
i stay away from herbal shampoos… they dry my hair like crazy
I had tried this but not much impressed but their face packs are worth. using their sunscreen for my body and evn thats quite impressive.
Never tried their face pack, but I did try their face wash…. it is kind of good.
I have used it too. nice review 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Even I have used it once but it turned out me my mum’s n my sis’s hair too dry..
Oh! actually I apply lots of oil and then wash my hair , maybe that is why it doesn’t dry out my hair so much.
I have used ayur shampoos extensively around 15-17 years ago. We used to buy 1 500ml bottle for everyone at home :-P. At that time, i used to put tons of oil too, ayur was so mild [all the ones ] that oil did not wash off at one go. But the moment i had found Ultr doux of Garnier i used to buy 500 mils of that..Right now i use Ayur coconut but only for lazy days .its the best of the lot.But no, Ayur shampoos are not good.It makes great pedicure shampoo though ! I really only like Garnier and Pantene [especially nourished shine and total damage] now. Garnier fructis makes my hair look like strands of silk without conditioner. No more experimenting for me now ! i am done with shampoos ..for lazy days its going to be only garnier fructis and regularly only reetha liquid
I agree that a lot of shampoo is needed to wash away the oil!!
I have used this 3 years back but it made my hair very dry 🙁
🙁 I see
I had tried this some years ago, and it dried my hair out like CRAZY!!! And yes, I was pretty stupid to buy the huge 500 mL pack! 😛
That was the time when I thought that if they said ‘herbal’ it would be good for my hair. 😀
I would never recommend this to anyone, not even to those with oily hair!
this product wrks for sure n effect lasts for a month after i changed this one n i think tht v need to be regulr wth ayur products for long to see the benefits…
Hope my hair too grows long and strong after a period of time!
Thanks a lot for all the loving comments! 🙂 Rati Di thanks a ton! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
