Here the multipurpose means antidandruff action as well as hair dye action. Dandruff is a chronic scalp condition characterized by scaling, itching and redness of the scalp. Hair dye is usually a substance of synthetic or natural origin, which is used to colour the hair as per the desired shade. In this work various plants such as Wrightia tinctoria, Eclipta prostata, Morinda citrifolia, Cyclia peltata, etc were collected, dried, size reduced, weighed, mixed, sieved, packed and labelled. In this work a total of six formulations were made using different ingredients and among these a best formulation were selected. Various evaluation tests were carried out in order to select a best formulation such as stability studies, invitro agar well diffusion method, cleaning action, wetting action, foaming ability, foam stability, dirt dispersion test etc. This work mainly focused to avoid the harmful side effects of the chemically synthesized shampoo and to achieve a better antidandruff as well as hair dye action from a single herbal formulation and from the study such a formulation were made.
