Made from the sun-dried leaves of the Albizia amara tree, arappu has been used in Ayurveda since the Bronze Age for gentle hair cleansing and scalp care. Naturally rich in saponins, it produces a mild lather that lifts away dirt while keeping hair’s natural oils intact. Its cooling properties help calm irritation, reduce scalp heat, and soothe itchiness. Regular use can support dandruff reduction and leave hair feeling soft, shiny, and manageable. Sustainably wild-harvested from the Western Ghats and hand-processed by rural women artisans in India, this single-ingredient hair wash offers a traditional, eco-friendly approach to hair care.

Mix arappu powder with cool or warm water to form a smooth, pourable paste. Apply to wet hair and scalp, massaging from roots to ends. Leave for 3–5 minutes to allow nutrients to absorb, then rinse thoroughly. For added nourishment, apply after oiling your hair, or blend with other Ayurvedic powders such as shikakai or amla. Prepare fresh before each use for best results.
