Herbal Sider Treatment (Powder)

A herbal sider treatment is a natural hair treatment made from the powdered leaves of the sider tree (also known as the lote tree or Ziziphus). Traditionally used in Middle Eastern and North African hair care, sider is valued for its gentle cleansing and strengthening properties. Unlike commercial shampoos, it cleans the scalp without stripping natural oils, making it ideal for sensitive scalps and dry or damaged hair. Regular use can help reduce hair fall, add volume and shine, and soothe scalp irritation. It’s also safe for color-treated or hennaed hair, helping to preserve and enhance natural color. To use, mix the powder with warm water or rose water to form a paste, apply to the scalp and hair, leave on for 15–30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
