Have you ever felt like your hair is just… tired? Dry, dull, lifeless, and full of problems like hair fall, dandruff, or no growth at all? Well, been there, done that! Let me take you on a personal journey that transformed my hair from “uh-oh” to “oh wow!” using a completely natural shampoo recipe, inspired by none other than Shri Rajiv Dixit Ji.
Spoiler alert: After I started using this magical mix, I NEVER went back to commercial shampoos again. Nope. Nada. Never.
The Hair Disaster Phase
Let me be honest… My hair was in a terrible state. So bad that you’d think I was auditioning for a “before” picture in a hair-loss ad! Hair fall was my daily nightmare. I had tried it all – expensive shampoos, fancy oils, miracle serums, hair spa treatments, and even weird grandma hacks. But nothing seemed to work.
Then one fine day, I stumbled upon a lecture by Shri Rajiv Dixit Ji, who was a strong advocate for using natural and Ayurvedic solutions. He talked about how harmful chemical-based shampoos are and shared a DIY natural shampoo formula that blew my mind!
The Natural Shampoo That Brought My Hair Back to Life!
I was skeptical at first. But I thought, “What do I have to lose? My hair’s already gone!” So I gave it a try. And guess what? My hair started showing real signs of life again! Shinier, stronger, fuller – and the hair fall literally vanished. Let’s dive into the magical ingredients of this natural shampoo.
1. Amla Powder (Indian Gooseberry)
The power of Vitamin C
Amla is loaded with antioxidants and Vitamin C. It strengthens hair roots, prevents premature greying, and promotes hair growth.
Why I love it: My hair started looking darker and richer within a month of use. Amla gave it that healthy glow!
2. Reetha Powder (Soapnut)
The natural cleanser
This is your nature-made shampoo. It lathers just enough to clean your scalp without stripping off natural oils.
Why I love it: My scalp felt squeaky clean and dandruff-free. Plus, no more itchiness!
3. Shikakai Powder
The hair conditioner
Shikakai literally means “fruit for hair.” It softens hair, detangles it naturally, and adds a gentle shine.
Why I love it: Goodbye frizz! My hair became smooth and manageable – and I didn’t even need a conditioner!
4. Hibiscus Flower Powder (Gudhal)
Nature’s hair tonic
Hibiscus is a wonder flower that supports hair growth, strengthens roots, and keeps the scalp cool.
Why I love it: It reduced my hair fall like magic. Plus, it gives a mild red tint if you like that natural highlight vibe.
5. Rosemary Essential Oil
The growth booster
Rosemary oil stimulates hair follicles, increases circulation to the scalp, and promotes new hair growth.
Why I love it: Tiny baby hairs started sprouting after 3 weeks! It's like giving your scalp a wake-up call.
6. Vitamin E Oil
The nourisher
Vitamin E is a must. It repairs damaged hair follicles, adds shine, and supports re-growth.
Why I love it: My hair not only felt stronger but looked more alive. It was like my scalp said “thank you” every time.
How To Make This Magical Natural Shampoo
It’s super simple, trust me! No rocket science, no lab coats needed – just nature and love.

- 2 tablespoons Amla powder

- 1 tablespoon Hibiscus flower powder
- 5-6 drops Rosemary essential oil
- 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
- 2 cups water
Method:
- Boil the powders (Amla, Reetha, Shikakai, and Hibiscus) in 2 cups of water for 10–15 minutes.
- Let it cool, and then strain the liquid.
- Add Rosemary oil and Vitamin E oil to the cooled mixture.
- Pour it into a bottle and shake well before use.
That’s it! Your natural shampoo is ready. Use it like regular shampoo, but expect less foam – remember, no chemicals here!
Why Ditching Store-Bought Shampoos Was the Best Decision EVER
Here’s what I realized:
- Commercial shampoos are full of sulfates, parabens, artificial fragrances, and so many chemicals that damage hair over time.
- They clean your scalp, yes, but also strip away all the natural oils your hair NEEDS.
- Natural shampoo? It heals your scalp, restores hair health, and brings back shine and strength – without a single side-effect.
Since I switched, my hair fall reduced by 90%, dandruff disappeared, and my hair actually grows faster now! Plus, the compliments? Endless!
My Tips for Best Results
- Use this shampoo twice a week.
- Oil your hair a few hours before washing – preferably with coconut or almond oil.
- Store the shampoo in the fridge if you’re making it in large quantities. Fresh is always better.
- Be patient! Nature takes time, but it gives permanent results.
A Friendly Reminder
Hey friend, don’t expect overnight miracles. Give your hair time to adapt to this chemical-free lifestyle. The first week might feel different because you’re shifting from synthetic to natural, but hang in there. Your scalp will adjust and love you for it!
Final Thoughts
Switching to this natural shampoo was like giving my hair a second chance at life. I feel confident, healthy, and connected to nature. Plus, it feels AMAZING to say, “I made my own shampoo!”
If you’re tired of losing hair and hope, give this a try. Shri Rajiv Dixit Ji’s wisdom is simple but super effective. Go natural. Go healthy. Go happy.
And don’t forget to smile at your reflection – your hair’s going to look fantastic soon!
