Abstract	In recent years, herbal cosmetics have gained significant popularity over synthetic alternatives due to growing awareness of the harmful effects associated with chemical-based products. Synthetic shampoos, which often contain artificial ingredients, may lead to adverse reactions such as hair damage, scalp irritation, and eye discomfort. In contrast, herbal formulations provide a safer and more natural alternative for hair care. The current study focuses on the development of a herbal dry powdered shampoo formulated using traditional medicinal plants known for their beneficial effects on hair and scalp health. The ingredients selected for this formulation include reetha (Sapindus mukorossi), amla (Emblica officinalis), aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis miller), neem (Azadirachta indica), henna (Lawsonia inermis), bhringraj (Eclipta alba), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and shikakai (Acacia concinna). These herbs are well documented in Ayurvedic texts for their cleansing, antimicrobial, antifungal, conditioning, and hair strengthening properties. The powdered form of shampoo provides a convenient, waterless alternative for hair cleansing, making it especially useful for travel and areas with limited water access. The formulation process required meticulous drying, grinding, and mixing of the chosen herbal ingredients in the correct proportions. The final product was evaluated for organoleptic properties, pH, foaming ability, cleansing efficiency, and safety through laboratory testing. Results indicated that the herbal dry shampoo is effective in removing excess oil, reducing dandruff, strengthening hair roots, and minimizing hair fall without causing irritation. This herbal dry shampoo represents a promising natural solution for individuals seeking eco-friendly and safe hair care alternatives, combining traditional wisdom with modern formulation techniques.
