        abstract = { Shampoos are utilised not just to clean hair, but also to add gloss, keep hair manageable, and retain its oiliness. Shampoos come in many different varieties, including powder, transparent liquid, lotion, solid gel, medicinal, and liquid herbal. Regarding the stability criteria for herbal shampoos, they could be simple or plain shampoo, antibacterial, or antidandruff, depending on the makeup of the components. The objective of the current study was to create a pure herbal shampoo, assess its physicochemical qualities, and compare it to existing shampoos in the market. Varied plant extracts from varied proportions were added to a 10% aqueous gelatin solution to create the herbal shampoo. A small amount of methyl paraben was added as a preservative, and lemon juice was used to correct pH.To ascertain the physicochemical qualities, a number of tests including visual inspection, pH, wetting time, %solid content, foam volume, surface tension, detergency, and dirt dispersion were carried out. The designed herbal shampoo had a liquid consistency that was brown in colour, had a surface tension score of 34.29N/m, wetted out in 2 sec, and contained 1.2g of solids. The outcomes showed that the herbal shampoo formulation has good detergency. However, additional study and development are necessary to enhance its quality and safety},
