This review drives deep into the preparation, functionality and increasing popularity of these shampoos among users.

These ingredients provide conditioning, strengthening and soothing effects on the scalp along with better pigmentation. This review focuses on the extraction of these plant-based dyes, intensity of colour and how it is influenced by factors like pH, temperature and processing time and how they are blended with shampoo bases that contains herbal surfactants and gentle cleansing systems.
