What is it −

Every liquid mask on your shelf is mostly water, which means it also needs preservatives, thickeners and a heavy plastic tub to survive the trip to you. We took the water out. What's left is the active part - six plants, ground fine, sealed fresh, in a sachet you activate yourself.

One sachet is one reset. No half-used tub going stale in your shower. No wondering how much to use. No preservatives, because there's nothing to preserve until you add water. And it travels flat in a carry-on so you can have your root reset anywhere you go.

Hero Ingredients +

Shikakai — Nature's gentle cleanser. Lifts buildup and oil without the stripped, squeaky feeling of a clarifying shampoo.
Fenugreek — Protein-rich seed for denser, stronger, more resilient-feeling hair.
Amla — Vitamin-C antioxidant that strengthens strands and revives natural shine.
Aloe Vera — Hydrates your scalp.
Brahmi — A cooling herb for irritated, tight, over-worked scalps.

All Benefits +

Removes Scalp Buildup + Excess Oil
Shikakai is naturally rich in saponins, plant compounds that help lift away excess oil, sweat and product buildup from the scalp and hair. Combined with fenugreek and amla, Root Reset helps give the scalp a deeper cleanse without leaving the hair feeling aggressively stripped. Your scalp feels fresher, cleaner and ready for wash day.

Helps Deep Clean the Scalp
Hair products, dry shampoo, oils and everyday residue can accumulate around the scalp over time. Shikakai helps cleanse away this buildup, while amla and brahmi support a healthier-feeling scalp environment. Think of Root Reset as the step that helps clear away everything sitting between your scalp and the rest of your haircare routine.

Helps Reduce Hair Breakage
Dry, tangled hair is more vulnerable to breakage during washing and detangling. Fenugreek, marshmallow root and aloe vera help condition the hair and improve slip, making strands easier to work through with less pulling and friction. Hair feels softer, more flexible and less prone to snapping during wash day.

Makes Detangling Easier
Marshmallow root and fenugreek are naturally rich in mucilage, creating a slippery, conditioning texture when mixed with water. This helps strands glide past each other more easily, reducing knots and resistance while detangling. Less tugging means a gentler wash day and less unnecessary stress on fragile hair.

Softens Dry, Rough Hair
Aloe vera, marshmallow root and fenugreek help hydrate and condition dry-feeling strands, while brahmi and amla help improve the overall feel of the hair. After rinsing, hair feels noticeably softer and smoother instead of rough, stiff or overly cleansed.

Supports Stronger, Healthier-Looking Hair
Amla, fenugreek and brahmi have long been used in haircare to support the appearance of stronger, healthier hair. By conditioning the hair fibre and helping reduce dryness, tangling and breakage, Root Reset supports better length retention and hair that looks fuller and more resilient over time.

Helps Restore Shine + Smoothness
Buildup and dryness can leave hair looking dull and feeling rough. Root Reset helps remove residue while conditioning the hair at the same time. Amla, aloe vera, fenugreek and Kapoor Kachli help leave strands feeling smoother and looking naturally shinier after cleansing.

Refreshes a Dry, Congested Scalp
A scalp covered in oil, buildup and styling residue can start to feel heavy and uncomfortable. Shikakai cleanses while aloe vera, brahmi and fenugreek help condition the scalp, creating a reset that feels fresh without turning wash day into an aggressive clarifying treatment.

Prepares Hair for the Rest of Your Routine
Root Reset is designed to be the reset step before shampoo, conditioner or your regular wash-day products. By helping remove buildup, soften the hair and loosen tangles first, it gives the rest of your routine a cleaner canvas to work on. Your scalp feels refreshed and your hair is easier to cleanse, condition and manage.

Your questions, answered.

Some questions you might have or write to us. A real person replies.

How is this different from a clarifying shampoo? +

A clarifying shampoo strips everything, including the oils your scalp actually needs, and it does it in ninety seconds. Root Reset sits on the scalp for twenty minutes and lifts buildup with herbs rather than harsh surfactants. Clarifying shampoos leave you squeaky. This leaves you clean.

Will this dry out my hair? +

No. Shikakai cleanses without sulphates, and aloe and marshmallow root are in the formula specifically so that clearing buildup doesn't leave your scalp tight or your lengths straw-like. Most people find their conditioner works better afterwards.

Is it messy? +

Less than you'd think. Mix it in a small bowl, apply with your fingers or a tint brush, and clip your hair up. It's a smooth paste, not a drippy liquid. Do it in the bathroom and rinse the bowl - that's the whole cleanup.

Can I use it with the Scalp Primer? +

Yes, absolutely! Since it's a liquid activated hair mask - it's the routine we'd recommend. Add few drops of our Scalp Primer to the mask in a bowl, add water/yoghurt and mix it well for best results.

Is it safe to use Root Reset for colour-treated or chemically-treated hair? +

Yes. No sulphates, no bleaching agents, no synthetic actives. As with anything new, we recommend a patch test before first use.

How often should I use it? +

Once a week or when your hair needs a deep scalp detox. That's the whole idea - one Sunday, one sachet. You can go twice a week if you have a particularly oily scalp or a heavy workout routine, but weekly is where most people land.

What does it smell like? +

Earthy and herbal - it smells like the plants that are in it, because that's all that's in it. No fragrance has been added and the scent rinses out completely.

Will one sachet if Root Reset be enough for my hair? +

One 10g sachet is formulated to cover a full scalp. If your hair is very long or very thick and if you want to apply on hair length as well, you may prefer to use one and a half - which is another reason the 6-pack is the more practical buy.

How long do they last unopened? +

24 months. There's no water in the sachet, so there's nothing to spoil.

Do I use Root Reset before or after shampoo? +

Before. Always before. It's a pre-wash hair mask - rinse it out, then shampoo as normal.
