Champi on a Saturday night, oil warmed in a steel katori and pressed into the scalp with fingertips, is how many of us first met Ayurvedic hair oils. The oil sits overnight, and the next morning's hair wash completes the ritual.
These oils usually start with coconut, sesame or almond oil, cooked or infused with herbs that have long been traditionally used in hair care, such as bhringraj, amla, brahmi, neem, hibiscus and methi. Some are classical preparations with Sanskrit names like Bhringraj taila, while others are a maker's own blend with added fragrance.
Look at the label for the base oil, the herb list, any mineral oil or perfume, the manufacturer and expiry. Patch-test a small area if the oil is new to you, and if your scalp tends to react, a skin doctor or Ayurvedic vaidya can advise you. Close the bottle tightly and keep it out of direct sun.
