One Oil, Eight Reasons to Switch
-
Helps reduce hair fall
Bhringraj, fenugreek and onion have been used for generations to strengthen roots, so fewer strands end up on your comb, pillow and bathroom floor.
-
For thinning hair
Regular overnight oiling nourishes the scalp and strengthens each strand, helping hair look fuller and feel thicker over the weeks.
-
Stronger from root to tip
Virgin coconut oil soaks into the hair shaft and helps reduce protein loss during washing, so hair breaks less and holds its strength.
-
A calm, clean scalp
Neem and aloe vera have long been used to soothe a dry, itchy scalp and keep it clean, the first step to healthier hair.
-
Your natural colour
Amla, rich in natural vitamin C, has been used in Indian homes for generations to help hair keep its natural, deep colour.
-
Fewer split ends
Coats and softens the lengths, helping to inhibit split ends and breakage, so your hair grows longer without snapping.
-
The overnight ritual
Massage in at night, wash off in the morning. The herbs work while you sleep, just as our grandmothers did it.
-
The king of hair herbs
Bhringraj, called Keshraj in Ayurveda, is the heart of this oil, traditionally trusted to nourish roots and support healthy hair growth.
