The Krya hairwash has been designed for straight or curly hair that tends towards frizziness, has a lot of static, and tends to be dry from within and break easily. In Ayurveda we generally classify this kind of hair under a vata prone constitution. This kind of hair gets damaged very quickly when subjected to synthetic shampoos, silicone based conditioners , heat, and chemical treatments. The nature of vata dosha is rough an dry, and Ayurveda advises the use of specific herbs to control this rough, dry and coarse nature of Vata dosha.
The Krya hairwash for example uses extremely gentle surfactants in a carefully formulated proportion to ensure that delicate hair and scalp is not stripped further of sebum or moisture. We also use a high proportion of gloss enhancing and conditioning herbs to retain the elasticity, cuticular structure and health of hair. Vata prone hair responds extremely well to regular oiling with the right kind of herbs. We have seen that use of the Krya extra conditioning hair oil along with the Krya extra conditioning hairwash help make this kind of hair more manageable, regain strength and improve in health.
Please consider use of the Krya extra conditioning hair system if your hair is extremely dry and unmanageable. This system includes the Krya extra conditioning hair oil, the Krya extra conditioning hairwash and the Krya extra conditioning hair mask.

This is a product review and a personal journey !
I used to hate hair washes. Traditional shikakai wash by myself meant hair would end up being sticky at the end of the wash and my mother would sneak in shampoo to remove the oily bits. Later when I moved to full shampoo, I could never master the perfect conditioning to ensure zero frizz :D, so my hair ended up looking dry by the end of the day ( revealing the damage within). To think, my scalp and hair went through such routine for 30 odd years :O
(shudders)
Once I discovered Krya hair washes and first few tries were disheartening. It was either too much hair wash being used or I would discover clumps of hair wash in my hair through the day. I kept it, actively reading comments from community members sharing what worked for them.
I realized that I had to oil overnight and not just before wash, I had to apply the wash like mask and then massage it through my scalp and leave the length of my hair alone.
Once the basic hurdles were crossed and my system was in place, I was super happy to see the results. No matter what oil I use, this is my go to hair wash for my hair type. Frizz is phenomenally gone, even on post hair wash days. Hair is not sticky or smelly. No clumps of hair wash and the hair stays smooth through the day till I am ready for next bit of oiling.
This product cannot be called magic, because it is not inexplicable. It is just good Ayurveda!

This is one of my most favourite products! The hair feels squeaky clean, looks shiny and has a soft bounce to it once I use the conditioning mask and wash system.

Used this for the first time after ordering it some time ago. Massaged head with warm Harmony hair oil, left it on for an hour and then did a double rinse. Hair felt light and smooth, almost as if a weight had been removed from the head. Superb product :); recommending for Men with dry, frizzy hair!
