Radico Organic Hair Treatment Powder is three of our single herbs, milled and blended: amla, reetha and shikakai. Nothing else is in the pouch — no fillers, no synthetic preservatives, no fragrance, no PPD, no ammonia.

Net weight 100 g (3.53 oz). It carries no pigment, so it will not dye your hair.

A wash and a mask, from the same pouch

How much water you add decides what this becomes. Thick, it is a treatment you leave on. Thin, it is a wash. The powder is the same either way; only the consistency and the time on the hair change.

The reason it works both ways is a number. Our readings for this blend fall between pH 3.2 and 3.5 — between our two washing herbs, and inside the range cosmetic products designed to be left on the hair are usually formulated to. Shikakai on its own is far more acidic than that, and we do not recommend leaving it on at all.

Natural Saponin Lather

We measured the pH — and then diluted it

Plant washes are widely described as acidic. We have not found anyone publishing numbers, so we took our own, on a meter calibrated against pH 4.00 and 7.00 buffers before the session. The interesting result was not the figure itself, but what happened when we changed how thick the mix was.

pH measurement of hair treatment powder diluted at a 1:2 ratio. pH3.241:2 - pH3.24

pH measurement of hair treatment powder diluted at a 1:3 ratio. pH3.261:3 - pH3.26

pH measurement of hair treatment powder diluted at a 1:4 ratio. pH3.271:4 - pH3.27

Mix Consistency pH
1 : 2 Thick — the mask 3.24
1 : 3 In between 3.26
1 : 4 Thin — the wash 3.27

Three mixes, one pouch, one session. Between the thickest and the thinnest — a change that drops the powder concentration by a third — the reading moved by 0.03. That is the signature of a buffer, and it has a practical consequence: mixing it thick for a mask does not make it more acidic than mixing it thin for a wash. The fifteen to thirty minutes a mask sits on your scalp is spent at the same pH as the two minutes a wash does.

Across batches the figure moves, between about 3.2 and 3.5. The blend is three milled herbs in the same proportions every time, but growing conditions vary from one harvest to the next and the acid content of a fruit or a pod varies with them. We could hold that number still — it would take a pH adjuster, and there is nothing in this pouch but amla, reetha and shikakai. A figure that never moved would be telling you something had been added to keep it there. The batch we measured: OMP/26/E/001, milled 05/2026.

What acidity does to hair

The outside of a hair is covered in overlapping scales, the cuticle, laid down like tiles on a roof. How flat those scales lie is most of what we perceive as smoothness. Flat scales let a strand slide past its neighbour; lifted scales catch on each other, and hair feels rough and tangles.

Alkaline conditions lift the scales. Acidic conditions let them lie down. That is the whole reason conditioners, acid rinses and every “pH-balanced” claim on a shelf exist — and it is why washing hair with true soap, alkaline at around pH 9, leaves it rough.

You will sometimes read that acidity opens the cuticle so nutrients can get in, and then closes it again. That is the wrong way round. Alkali opens; acid closes. A wash on the acid side is not letting anything in — it is leaving the surface flatter than an alkaline one would.

Foam is not what does the cleaning

Reetha and shikakai clean through saponins — compounds the plant makes that lower the surface tension of water. They lift oil the way any surfactant does, but they produce far less foam than a shampoo.

It is worth separating those two things, because they are not the same property. Lather is what happens when a surfactant traps air. Cleaning is what happens when it surrounds oil. A surfactant can do one well and the other barely at all — which is why industrial and dishwasher detergents are deliberately formulated to foam as little as possible. Foam gets in the way there, so it is engineered out, and the cleaning is unaffected.

This blend does foam more readily than reetha or shikakai do on their own — an observation from mixing all three, not something we have investigated. It is still far less than a conventional shampoo, and that is not a problem.

What is in it

Herb What it is doing here
ReethaSapindus mukorossi Saponins. The cleaning. Non-ionic, so it lifts oil without the charge interaction a sulfate has with hair
ShikakaiAcacia concinna Saponins, and most of the acidity. On its own it reads pH 2.1 to 3.0
AmlaEmblica officinalis The strand — and the one of the three that touches colour

All three are sold on their own. If you want to understand what each is doing, the single-herb pages go into more detail than we can here.

How to use it

As a treatment — one part powder, two parts water

Mix to a thick yogurt consistency that holds on the brush without dripping, and let it stand 5 minutes; the powder keeps absorbing water after the first stir.

Hair length Powder Warm water
Short 15–30 g (½–1 oz) 30–60 ml (1–2 fl oz)
Shoulder length 30–60 g (1–2 oz) 60–120 ml (2–4 fl oz)
Waist length 60–100 g (2–3½ oz) 120–200 ml (4–7 fl oz)

Why the range is wide. The lower figure covers the hair. The upper figure lets you work more slowly — sectioning properly, getting the paste right to the scalp, taking it through to the ends without stretching it thin. Start at the lower end. You will know within one application whether you would rather have more to work with, and there is no advantage in using more than you need.

  1. Apply through the lengths, working from the mid-shaft down, then bring what is left up to the scalp.
  2. Leave on 15 to 30 minutes under a shower cap so the paste stays damp. A dried-out paste stops working — it is the water that keeps the plant compounds in contact with the hair.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, head tilted back. Rinse for longer than you think you need to; fine particles settle at the nape and behind the ears.

As a wash — one part powder, four parts water

Mix to a pourable liquid and let it stand 5 minutes. At shoulder length, 10 to 15 g of powder to 40 to 60 ml of water.

  1. Wet your hair first, then pour the liquid onto the scalp in sections. It will run, so work in parts and tilt your head back to control where it goes.
  2. Massage the scalp for two to three minutes. Expect a modest amount of foam; it is not a measure of how well it is working.
  3. Rinse thoroughly, head still tilted back.

Weigh the powder rather than spooning it. A spoonful of milled herb can vary by as much as a third depending on the spoon and how it is scooped, which is why the numbers above are in grams.

What a pouch gives you. Used as a treatment at shoulder length, roughly two to three applications. Used as a wash, seven to ten. Most people use it both ways, so where a pouch lands for you depends on the mix.

Keep it out of your eyes

Saponins are surfactants, and surfactants sting. Being a plant does not make a molecule gentle on the cornea. And because this is milled plant material rather than a dissolved detergent, fine particles can lodge in the eye and keep stinging after the water is gone.

Keep your eyes closed while it is on. If any gets in, flush with plenty of cool running water well past the point it stops hurting — the aim is to carry the particles out, not just dilute the liquid. Do not rub. If irritation persists after a thorough flush, see a doctor.

How often — what we found

You can use this daily. We do not think you need to, and we would rather say so. Using it every day gets through a pouch quickly, so we tested longer intervals to see what was actually necessary.

Washing with it every two to three days, and rinsing with warm water only in between, the slip held for the full two to three days. Hair still ran through the fingers easily on day three.

One condition is worth stating plainly. That was the whole routine — this powder, and warm water on the days in between. No conventional shampoo at any point during the test. We have not tested what happens if you alternate this with a sulfate shampoo, and we would expect a different result: a strong detergent strips more than water does, and a scalp responds to that. What we can tell you is what a water-only routine looked like in our own hands — not what a mixed routine would look like in yours.

If you are coming from daily shampooing, expect a few weeks of adjustment. Scalps washed daily with a strong detergent tend to produce oil at the rate that washing demands, and that rate takes time to settle.

If you colour your hair

Reetha and shikakai carry no pigment, and neither affects a colour result. Amla is different, and it is in here. Amla is naturally acidic, and acidity shifts a henna result cooler and slightly deeper — which is why it is one of the herbs in 23 of Radico’s 24 shades, measured into those recipes deliberately.

Do not use this immediately after colouring. Henna and indigo both keep developing for up to 72 hours after application, and a surfactant wash inside that window will take some of the result with it — more so here, because the amla is working on the tone at the same time. Leave two to three days between colouring and washing with this. After that, it will not strip a herbal colour you already have.

If you want a wash that does nothing at all to the tone, reetha or shikakai on their own are colour-neutral. The trade is the pH: reetha alone reads 4.54 to 4.90 and shikakai alone 2.1 to 3.0, and neither is where you want a treatment you leave on. This blend is the one of the three you can use as a mask.

Why this one is not vacuum sealed

Our colour pouches are vacuum sealed at the point of milling, which is most of the reason they keep for close to five years. This blend is not, and it is worth explaining why, because the shelf life is shorter as a result.

Vacuum sealing this powder compresses it into a solid block. Not a firm cake you can break with a spoon — a block you would need a hammer to get through. We tried it. What comes out is unusable.

So it is packed loose, in a resealable pouch, with a date and an expiry just under three years apart rather than the five a sealed colour pouch gets.

What we do instead. We hold small quantities in the United States and air-freight from India frequently, rather than shipping a container and warehousing it. It costs more per pouch and it is more work. The point is that what reaches you is close to the milling date rather than close to the expiry.

Every pouch is printed with the batch number, the date it was milled and the date it expires, so you can check where in that window yours sits before you open it. The pouch reseals, which also makes it safe to keep in a bathroom.

What we will and will not claim

That saponins are surfactants, and that acidity keeps the cuticle lying flat, are physical chemistry rather than health claims. The pH figures are our own, on a calibrated handheld meter, from mixes made the way we describe here. They are not laboratory certificates, and water hardness will move them. We publish them because they are numbers you can check yourself with an inexpensive meter, and because we have not found anyone else publishing any.

What we have not measured is any outcome. We have not compared cleaning efficiency against a conventional shampoo, and we have not measured combing force. We are not claiming superiority on either count — we would need controlled comparisons to say that honestly.

We are not claiming this powder treats any scalp or hair condition, and in the United States a cosmetic may not make that claim.

Ingredients

Three organic herbs, milled and blended — amla (Emblica officinalis), reetha (Sapindus mukorossi) and shikakai (Acacia concinna). Nothing else: no fillers, no synthetic preservatives, no fragrance, no PPD, no ammonia. It carries no pigment, so it will not dye your hair.

100% organic, made in India. Net weight 100 g (3.53 oz). Mixed with water, our own calibrated readings fall between pH 3.2 and 3.5 depending on the batch. Keep out of the eyes. Do not use on broken or inflamed skin. Patch test on the inner forearm 48 hours before first use. This is a cosmetic product for external use on hair and scalp; it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition.

FAQ

Our own readings, on a meter calibrated against pH 4.00 and 7.00 buffers, were 3.24 at one part powder to two parts water, 3.26 at 1:3 and 3.27 at 1:4 — all from the same pouch in a single session. Across batches the figure has fallen between about 3.2 and 3.5. Hair's own surface sits at 4.5 to 5.5, and cosmetic products designed to be left on the hair are usually formulated between 3.5 and 4.5.

No, and that is the useful part. Between the thickest mix and the thinnest — a change that drops the powder concentration by a third — the reading moved by 0.03. That is the signature of a buffer, a weak acid sitting alongside its own conjugate base and holding the pH steady against dilution. It means the fifteen to thirty minutes a mask sits on your scalp is spent at the same pH as the two minutes a wash does.

The blend is three milled herbs in the same proportions every time, but growing conditions vary from one harvest to the next and the acid content of a fruit or a pod varies with them. The pH of a pouch reflects the year it was grown in. We could hold that number still, but it would take a pH adjuster, and there is nothing in this pouch but amla, reetha and shikakai. A figure that never moved would be telling you something had been added to keep it there.

As a treatment, 15 to 30 g for short hair, 30 to 60 g at shoulder length, or 60 to 100 g at waist length — mixed with twice its weight in water. The lower figure covers the hair; the upper gives you room to section properly and work slowly. Start at the lower end, because there is no advantage in using more than you need. As a wash, 10 to 15 g covers shoulder-length hair, mixed with four times its weight in water. A pouch gives roughly two to three treatments at shoulder length, or seven to ten washes.

No — leave two to three days. Henna and indigo both keep developing for up to 72 hours after application, and a surfactant wash inside that window will take some of the result with it. It matters more with this blend than with reetha or shikakai alone, because amla is acidic and shifts a henna result cooler, so it is working on the tone at the same time. After 72 hours it will not strip a herbal colour you already have.

Two to three days between washes was enough in our own testing. The slip held for the full two to three days, with warm water rinsing on the days in between and no conventional shampoo at any point. Daily use works too, but it gets through a pouch quickly and we do not think it is necessary. We have not tested alternating this with a sulfate shampoo and would expect a different result.

Because lather and cleaning are separate properties. Lather is what happens when a surfactant traps air; cleaning is what happens when it surrounds oil. Industrial and dishwasher detergents are deliberately formulated to foam as little as possible, and their cleaning is unaffected. This blend does foam more readily than reetha or shikakai do alone, but far less than a conventional shampoo.

Because vacuum sealing compresses this powder into a solid block — not a firm cake you could break with a spoon, but something you would need a hammer to get through. We tried it. So it is packed loose in a resealable pouch, and the shelf life is just under three years rather than the close to five a sealed colour pouch gets. We compensate by holding small quantities in the United States and air-freighting from India frequently, so what reaches you is closer to the milling date than to the expiry. Every pouch is printed with its batch number, milling date and expiry.

No. None of the three herbs carries a dye pigment, so this will not deposit colour. It is not colour-neutral in every sense, though: amla is acidic, and acidity shifts a henna result cooler and slightly deeper. If you have a herbal colour on your hair, that matters most in the 72 hours after application, when the colour is still developing.

I was a little disappointed, I purchased wheat

I was a little disappointed, I purchased wheat blonde and followed the instructions and did not get the results I was looking for , it did not cover my gray but it did make my hair softer , I have less than 30% gray hair mostly on my hair line and I having light brownish blonde hair with a little gray , what color would you recommend, that was my first time.

Does not dye grey hair whether I leave dye on for 1 hour or 3 1/2 hours

I have very short hair, much shorter on the sides than the top as I have a mohawk and I let the hair on the sides grow in a bit between haircuts. I have only used the dark brown color and I have dyed my hair 4 times. While the color is pleasing to me, the dye will do nothing to color my grey hair. The first time I used it I left the dye paste on my hair for 1 hour. The last time - today-I left it on my hair for 3 hours and twenty minutes and it still didn't even touch my grey hairs which are all near my hairline. Each of the four times I used the product, I blow dried around the edges of my hairline for 1-2 minutes as instructed every 15 - 20 minutes and still nothing. I loaded up the paste along the edges every time. During the second and third hair dye experiences, I even sat under a steamer cap hoping the hot steam would keep the paste moist. There was no difference in my grey hair. I love how principled the company is and love their comprehensive website with all the instructions and how to tell if hair is porous , and how incredible clean and healthy and humanely sourced their products are. I wish I could continue patronizing their company but if the product doesn't work for me and doesn't do what they say it will do, I'll have to move on. Very disappointing!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We especially appreciate your kind words about our ingredients, sourcing, and the information we provide on our website.

We’re truly sorry that Dark Brown did not cover the gray hair around your hairline, even after four careful applications. In some people, newly grown gray hair at the roots has a particularly tight, healthy cuticle structure, which can make it difficult for 100% herbal pigments to penetrate. While this does not happen to everyone, we do hear from a small number of customers who experience difficulty coloring this specific area.

Your experience is very important to us. We will continue researching better preparation and application methods specifically for resistant gray roots so that customers with this hair type can achieve better results with our completely additive-free herbal color.

We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into trying different application methods, and your feedback will help us improve both our instructions and our products. Thank you for giving Radico such a fair and thoughtful evaluation despite your disappointing results. 🌿

Great coverage and pleasant scent.

Tried other henna brands but none of them worked. When I discovered Radico I was not sure how the color will come out. First I tried Champagne Blonde which covered my grey hair well but the all over color was a little too light. Next I tried Beige blonde and it came out just the way I wanted to. The greys are light blonde and the rest of my hair darker beige and golden. The color smella very pleasant ( my cats are very attracted to it ). I am very happy to have discovered Radico colors since they are natural and none irritating.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! 🌿 We’re delighted that you found the right shade for your hair and that Beige Blonde gave you the natural combination of lighter blonde grays with deeper beige and golden tones you were looking for.

We’re also very happy to hear that you enjoyed the natural herbal scent — and that your cats seem to enjoy it too! Since our colors contain only herbs with no added fragrance, the scent comes directly from the plants themselves. We know that the natural grassy aroma isn’t for everyone, so it’s especially nice to hear that you found it pleasant.

Thank you for discovering Radico and giving our organic herbal colors a chance. It means a lot to our entire team to know that you found a color that works beautifully for you. 💚

We’re sorry that the color wasn’t the shade you were hoping for. Because our herbal hair color contains no chemical additives, the final result can vary depending on each person’s hair type and how well the herbal pigments are able to penetrate the hair. Some hair types also hold the color differently.

Since this was your first purchase, we’d be happy to either send you a darker shade at no charge or issue a full refund. Please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com, and we’ll be happy to help you find the shade that works best for your hair.

Color that lasts

It's a nice product, when applying I noticed it doesn't have any harsh chemical smell. Be prepared to commit two hours for the process. After the first application your hair will turn orange but during the second you will achieve your desired shade. Trust the process.
They did recommend wrapping the beard in plastic but I didn't have any at home. It would have been nice if it was included with the packet. Something form fitting that contours to the jaw line.
Overall I would give it 4.5 out of 5.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!

We're delighted to hear that you achieved the color you were looking for and appreciated the fact that our beard color contains no harsh chemical odors. You're absolutely right—natural herbal coloring is a process, and trusting that process is often rewarded with beautiful, long-lasting results.

We also appreciate your suggestion about including a beard wrap or form-fitting cover for the jawline. Feedback like yours helps us improve our products, and we will certainly consider it as a future product enhancement idea.

Thank you again for sharing your experience and for helping us make our products even better.

Thank you for your comment. The disposable gloves and other application items are packed inside the product package, not in the outer shipping envelope.

However, because the kits are packed by hand, there is a small possibility that the gloves were accidentally not included.

Do your research and NO IT DOESN'T FADE

As much as they may have tried to help, customer service that answered my questions were wrong about this key piece of information - this DOES NOT FADE as I was told several times. I never would have tried had I known. The colors no matter what I have done after the initial color has come out red. And when I checked back I was told they could not help me anymore and I was referred to the director but I never heard back (as of yet). It is a bummer because I was growing out my gray and now I have to start again BUT I also have hair that looks terrible.

Thank you for your honest feedback, and we’re very sorry for your experience.
We sincerely apologize that our explanation about how the color develops and fades was not clear enough. Because our hair color uses natural plant pigments that bind inside the hair, it can behave differently than expected, and in some cases may not fade as easily as anticipated.
Thanks to your feedback, we have updated our website—especially the top page—to include more detailed information so future customers can better understand how the color works before using it. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
We’re also very sorry that you did not receive a follow-up response as expected. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve and better support our customers.

Different browns

I do love the products but I am struggling with the colors I purchase and they all turn my hair to a reddish color. My natural color is brown although the grey has taken over. I started with light brown and it turned out almost all red. I contacted Radico and they suggested go to brown which I did. I had mostly brown hair but then it turned to a lot of red. I contacted Radico again and they suggested dark brown. I loved the color and had a little red but after a few weeks I had a lot of red again. I don't like the red streaks in it. Any suggestions as how to achieve just brown hair. I am okay if it turns out a lighter brown or dark brown, I just want brown with no red in it. I love how natural your products are I have also used the conditioners and bar soap, I just need help in obtaining a color without any red in it.

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience and for your continued support of our natural products—we truly appreciate it.

When using plant-based hair color, red tones can sometimes appear more strongly if the henna develops more intensely, or if the indigo component does not fully oxidize. Indigo needs moisture in the hair during the first few days after dyeing to complete its transformation into deeper brown or black shades. If the hair tends to dry quickly, the color may shift toward red more noticeably.
To better help you achieve your ideal shade of brown without the red tones, we would love to know more about your hair’s texture and porosity (for example, whether your hair holds moisture well or dries out quickly). This will help us provide you with more personalized guidance so that we can get closer to the rich, natural brown you’re looking for.
We’re here to support you until you find a color you truly love.

Champagne blonde

This did not work for my hair at all. I am a light blonde and this provided no gray coverage at all for me.

Thank you for sharing your experience with Champagne Blonde.
We’re sorry to hear that it didn’t provide the gray coverage you were hoping for. Because our 100% organic herbal hair color contains no chemical additives, the results can vary depending on individual hair texture and tone—especially for first-time users.
We’d be happy to send you a complimentary shade that’s one level deeper to help improve coverage.
Please contact us at customer-service@radicousa.com, and we’ll assist you right away to ensure you find a natural color that works beautifully for your hair.

Headache after applying - soft black color

The color worked and it covered my greys and turned my hair black. But I developed a headache after applying the hair color and only reduced after I washed my hair off with soap the next day. I have applied henna and indigo before with other brands, but never developed a headache before. Would not apply again.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our product. We’re sorry to hear that you experienced a headache after using our herbal hair color.

While we have received reports of allergic reactions such as skin redness and eczema from customers with indigo allergies, this is the first time we have received a report of headaches occurring without any associated dermatitis from our products. We understand that similar headache-only symptoms have been reported with other herbal hair color products as well.

For first-time customers, if the product does not suit you, we offer a refund. Additionally, if you experience a reaction to indigo, we will provide an indigo-free hair color free of charge.

Leaves a film

I wanted to love this shampoo bar, but it just isn't right for my hair. I really wish I hadn't bought five bars, as now I have five bars of shampoo I won't use. I tried an apple cider vinegar rinse, using hardly any shampoo, Hot water to rinse, and Warm water to rinse. It left my hair heavy, limp, and with a film. I have used different bar shampoos over the last few years, and this one is definitely not right for me.
