Radhika It is best to apply amla, reetha and shikakai but if you feel your hair is not clean then you can add little amount of sunsilk shampoo after applying and washing off the herbal paste from the hair. For me both works!

No, Sunsilk Black has lots of chemicals in it, so you are defeating the purpose of using home made shampoo and mixing with chemicals.
