Ask a Chettinad grandmother her hair secret and arapu often answers before she does — the oil-cake tree’s leaf, gentler than shikakai, lathering soft and leaving hair impossibly smooth. The village shampoo the towns forgot; we did not.
Why Malaysians order this
- Gentler than shikakai — the soft-lather hair wash
- Chettinad hair-heritage: thick plaits built on this leaf
- Conditions as it cleanses; skip-the-conditioner smooth
- Pure leaf, no pods, no fillers
How to use
Frequently asked questions
Arapu or shikakai?
Shikakai deep-cleans; arapu babies the hair. Oily scalps lean shikakai, dry lengths lean arapu — and the wisest blend the two.
Why have I never heard of it?
Because arapu never had a marketing budget, only results. Consider this its overdue introduction.
