    Top 5 Benefits of Oiling Your Scalp

    1. Promotes hair growth and thickness

    How: When used as a scalp massager, oil has a variety of benefits. Massaging increases or stimulates of the circulation of blood to the scalp, which benefits your hair all the way to its roots. This helps with regeneration and growth. Massaging your scalp also helps your hair roots get vital nutrients like vitamin and minerals that help you get thick, long hair. Most importantly, the massage itself can provide relief from stress, which is a leading cause for hair fall.

    What: Our hair growth oil is the best hair oil if you’re looking to grow your tresses. It contains 12 powerful herbs, including rosemary, to help boost the growth of new and stronger hair follicles. This ayurvedic oil has no chemical extracts and can be applied once a week.

    2. Prevents hair breakage and split ends

    How: Oiling helps increase the tensile strength of the hair, reducing frizziness and preventing breakage. Oiling your hair helps moisturize and strengthen your strands right down to its tips. More moisture means less tangles, stronger tips mean fewer split ends, which means healthier hair.

    3. Reduces dandruff and itchy scalp

Alternatively, our Nourishing Hair Oil contains beneficial ingredients that help it double up as a treatment for dry scalps.

    4. Strengthens the hair

    How: Oils make your hair strands more flexible and stronger. It creates a protective barrier around your hair shaft and makes your hair more resilient to daily wear and tear. When applied before styling, it protects your hair from heat damage, which can otherwise make your hair brittle and prone to damage.

    5. Prevents frizz

    How: Perhaps the most useful benefit of oil is its immediate moisturizing properties that help tame the unruliest of manes. Ingredients in natural oils like castor oil are rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids. These provide vital nourishment to hair and also physically protect hair cells from moisture loss, transforming dull and dry strands into lush and shiny hair. 

    What: Both our hair oils contain Vitamin E and fatty acids that will help you get smooth, hydrated and silky hair. While our Nourishing Hair Oil is the go-to for curly haired people thanks to its anti-frizz properties, our hair growth oil contains castor oil as well as the internet’s favourite ingredient for all things hair: rosemary oil.
