Justification for Launching the Product

There is hardly anyone who suffers from untimely hair fall despite of his/her dandruff free scalp. Oily or chemically treated hair also results from dandruff. The youths are the worst sufferers because they are highly sensitive to beauty protection. So there is a crying need for an anti-dandruff shampoo. The ordinary shampoos have just the cleaning action as alternative to soap. On the other hand only a few numbers of them have anti-dandruff action and often this action is not as perfect as desired. To protect the scalp from dandruff and hair fall, we have launched "Liquid + shampoo" anti-dandruff shampoo. The "Liquid + shampoo" anti-dandruff shampoo is the first innovative herbal product that controls dandruff, prevents hair fall and conditions all types of hair.
