Ayurvedic hair oils are traditional herbal formulations from ancient Indian medicine. It’s made of oils and herbs, flowers, roots to nourish your scalp and strengthen your hair. It helps promote hair growth and decrease shedding.
Some herbs used that you’ve probably heard of are Amla, Brahmi, Neem, maybe even Bhringraj. I like to use those as my base herbs and you can build on top of that with other items. Things like onions, cloves, cinnamon, hibiscus, aloe Vera, lavender , flax seeds, and more can be added along with your oil(s) of choice. Now the trick is to let it sit and marinate for a couple weeks, shake periodically and let everything marry together.
I’ve been using it two different ways
- all over the hair, focusing more towards the ends; let it sit for a couple hrs before washing it
- as a scalp oil; apply a little to the scalp & massage it in
Ayurvedic hair oils are one of those things that take patience, but the results are worth it. Consistency is really the key, healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, and giving your hair that extra nourishment over time can make such a difference. ✨
