An Ayurvedic Scalp & Hair Oil of Amla, Bhringraj & Rosemary
Herbal Hair Oil is an Ayurvedic oil for the scalp and hair, used as a weekly overnight treatment or a daily finishing oil. Amla, bhringraj, gotu kola, horsetail and rosemary are slowly infused into six cold-pressed oils, including black seed, jojoba and sesame. It leaves hair soft, glossy and less prone to breakage, and suits straight, wavy, curly, coily and Afro-textured hair.
The Herbs
Herbal Hair Oil brings together three groups of Ayurvedic herbs and oils traditionally used for scalp and hair care. Strengthening herbs support the roots and help fragile strands resist breakage. Nourishing oils condition the scalp and soften dry hair. Refreshing essential oils invigorate the scalp during massage. Together they make an oil for stronger, softer, healthier-looking hair.
To Strengthen
Amla (Emblica officinalis): A classical Ayurvedic herb traditionally valued for strengthening the hair roots and keeping hair naturally strong and lustrous.
Bhringraj (Eclipta prostrata): One of Ayurveda's most respected hair herbs, traditionally used to support healthy hair growth and strengthen fragile strands.
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense): Naturally rich in silica, traditionally used to strengthen the hair shaft and reduce breakage.
Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica): Traditionally used to support healthy scalp circulation and nourish the tissues around the hair follicles.
To Nourish
Black Seed Oil (Nigella sativa): Rich in essential fatty acids that nourish the scalp, moisturise the hair and support the scalp's natural protective barrier.
Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum): A traditional Ayurvedic oil for nourishing a dry scalp and conditioning the hair.
Jojoba & Castor Oils: Condition dry or brittle hair and help keep the scalp comfortable and balanced.
Musta & Sage (Cyperus rotundus, Salvia officinalis): Antioxidant-rich herbs traditionally used to help maintain the hair's natural colour and protect hair and scalp from everyday environmental stress.
To Refresh
Rosemary & Peppermint Essential Oils: Traditionally valued for invigorating the scalp and encouraging healthy local circulation during massage.
Lemon & Cypress Essential Oils: Help keep the scalp fresh and balanced, with a clean, uplifting aroma.
Texture & Scent
Texture: Light and fast-absorbing, sinking into the scalp without a heavy or greasy finish.
Scent: Fresh and herbal, led by rosemary and peppermint, with bright lemon and cypress and a soft ylang ylang note.
