Arappu Powder - அரப்புத்தூள்

Nalvazhi Organic Arappu Thool (Shikakai Powder)

Long before chemical shampoos existed, our grandmothers reached for Arappu — the original hair cleanser of South India. Nalvazhi Organic Arappu Thool (Shikakai Powder) is stone-ground from sun-dried Acacia concinna pods, preserving every bit of its natural cleansing and nourishing power.

Why Arappu Thool?

• Natural Hair Cleanser: Arappu's gentle saponins produce a mild lather that cleanses the scalp and hair without stripping natural oils — unlike sulphate-based shampoos.
• Reduces Hair Fall: Rich in vitamins C, D, A and K, it strengthens hair roots and significantly reduces hair fall with regular use.
• Promotes Hair Growth: Stimulates hair follicles and improves scalp circulation, encouraging thick, healthy hair growth.
• Controls Dandruff: Natural antifungal and antibacterial properties keep the scalp clean, flake-free, and itch-free.
• Conditions Naturally: Leaves hair soft, smooth, and manageable without any synthetic conditioners.
• 100% Chemical-Free: No sulphates, parabens, silicones, or artificial additives — pure, raw, and natural.
• Suitable for All Hair Types: Gentle enough for daily use on straight, wavy, curly, and colour-treated hair.

How to Use

Mix 2–3 teaspoons of Arappu Thool with warm water to form a smooth paste. Apply evenly to wet scalp and hair. Gently massage in circular motions for 2–3 minutes. Leave for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water. For best results, use 2–3 times a week. Can be combined with other herbal powders like neem, brahmi, or fenugreek.

Go back to your roots — literally. Arappu Thool is the hair care secret your grandmother swore by.
