Description

The pods are traditionally used for their gentle cleansing and astringent properties and are widely valued as a natural hair cleanser and hair tonic. When mixed with water, they produce a rich, natural lather that effectively cleanses the scalp and hair without stripping away essential natural oils.

Commonly known as the “fruit for hair,” these pods have a naturally low pH and are exceptionally mild, making them suitable for regular use and sensitive scalps. Their natural detergent action helps remove accumulated dirt, excess sebum, and environmental impurities while enhancing the hair’s natural shine and smooth texture.

They are also traditionally used to help control dandruff and support scalp cleanliness. In addition, the pods have a natural detangling effect, making hair easier to manage and helping improve the appearance of hair volume and fullness. As a plant-based alternative to chemical shampoos, they support healthier, softer, and more lustrous hair.
