Vata Shampoo, 200ml | to hydrate, smooth & restore vitality for normal to dry, brittle, or frizzy hair

Vata Herbal Shampoo for dry, brittle and delicate hair

Maharishi Ayurveda Vata Shampoo, 200ml, is a gentle Ayurvedic shampoo created to hydrate, smooth, and restore vitality for normal or dry, brittle, or frizzy hair. It combines mild plant-based cleansing agents with traditional Ayurvedic herbs, fruits and flowers to help leave the hair feeling soft, smooth and naturally refreshed.

The formula includes bael, amla, shikakai, soapnut, hibiscus, bhringaraj, lavender and lemon essential oils. It is especially suitable where the hair feels dry, dull, fragile or difficult to manage.

Main benefits

• Intense Moisture & Hydration: Vata-type hair tends to be naturally dry, coarse, and prone to split ends. This formula delivers essential hydration deep into the hair shaft, restoring softness and elasticity.
• Frizz Control & Smoothing: Smooths down raised hair cuticles to tame flyaways, control static, and reduce roughness, making hair noticeably easier to detangle and manage.
• Scalp Nourishment: Infused with classic Ayurvedic botanicals – such as Amla (Indian Gooseberry) and Hibiscus – to nourish dry scalps, soothe flakiness, and strengthen hair roots.
• Mild Plant-Based Cleansing: Cleanses gently using natural, sugar- and coconut-derived surfactants that effectively remove buildup without stripping the scalp’s natural protective oils.
• Uplifting & Grounding Aroma: Enriched with pure essential oils (such as geranium and orange) that provide a soothing, aromatic experience to help calm a busy mind while washing.
• Certified Natural Standard: BDIH/COSMOS Natural certified, vegan-friendly, and free from synthetic sulfates (SLS/SLES), parabens, silicones, and artificial fragrances.
