Patanjali hair cleanser is basically a shampoo. I have used it recently and it has made my hair more rough. You cannot use it without a conditioner. You have to apply conditioner after washing your hair with this patanjali hair cleanser, otherwise your hair will become dry and rough. It includes aloe vera also but the after wash results are not so great because aloe vera is something which is considered very good for hair. It doesnt give any shine or smoothness to your hair. You will regret buying it.
