#3 must. stop. now.
yikes!
When it comes to oiling hair there is a flood of information and a tsunami of misinformation. You’ve heard all the buzzwords - moisturize, hydrate, nourish, carrier oils, essential oils - the list is endless. And while most people talk about the seemingly endless benefits, very few actually disclose
the right technique for oiling hair that truly unleashes amazing results.
It’s magical, it gives you long and strong hair that can give Rapunzel a run for her money and a dazzling shine fit for a shampoo commercial. Yeah right. You’ve tried it before and sure it seems to hydrate your strands but nothing to write home about, right?
So, if you’re oiling your hair yet seeing them on your pillowcase, the bathroom floor, your hairbrush just EVERYWHERE. *ugh* . We’ve got you. And while it’s natural for hair to get thinner, drier or frizzier as we age-
the right kind of nourishment and more importantly technique can bring those luscious locks back to life.
A brief recap for those just starting out.
Beauty know-it-alls skip ahead to #1.
Hair Oiling as practiced in the West, is a beauty and wellness act of applying oil to the hair. This is done to facilitate various benefits such as moisturizing and nourishing the hair to promote more volume, shine and strength. Now let’s dive into all the wrongs so that we can make them right.
So, you think you’ve found the perfect hair oil. Look closer. Turn that bottle around and take a look at the label.
Your hair oil may just contain chemicals such as Benzyl Salicylate, Linalool- which oxidize on air exposure and become allergenic; synthetic parfums to make it smell nice- all while masking themselves as “All natural oils”.
Such hair oils are processed chemically and are also packed with preservatives. If you’re someone who likes to keep it au natural - you deserve better!
Not-so-fun-fact: Even natural hair oils available today are at best blends of essential oils and base oils. *Hmph*
Instead, you should look out for oils that are made with the purest ingredients, infused with potent herbs that stimulate hair growth.
It’s not just about the oil you choose, it’s about leveraging the power of super ingredients which, when combined together, make a powerful blend that’ll give you the best results.
Authentic Ayurvedic oils which are infused with herbs such as Amla (Indian Gooseberry)- a lifegiving force for healthy hair, it adds volume and life to hair; Bhringraj (False Daisy) - commander-in-chief of keeping the scalp and hair squeaky clean; among a host of other legendary herbs.
They enhance the benefits of the oil and speed up the process of giving you the results you want.
For stronger, thicker and more voluminous hair- you need a whole army of powerful ingredients by your side and
herb infused oils do just that by powering up the outcome from the same 10-minute massage.
Have you been slapping on some hair oil onto your strands and considering it a beneficial hair oiling sesh?
We’ve got news for you.
Your hair consists of three major portions, the hair root, follicle and the shaft- and as you’ve guessed by now, you may have been completely ignoring the two portions that need nutrients to make your hair appear thicker and fuller from within.
Scalp care is key to healthy hair. Massaging the scalp with the right hair oil, using the right technique increases blood circulation, making the delivery system of nutrients to your roots super effective. It helps exfoliate the scalp, remove buildup and toxins, strengthens the hair right from the root, adds luster to the strands and deeply conditions hair.
So basically, oiling your scalp is where 90% of hair oiling benefits come from. Note to self: Never skip oiling your scalp.
Coming up soon- the right technique for successful, result oriented hair oiling.
Guilty of tying your hair too tight right after oiling? You’ve got to stop.
Your hair cuticles open up as you massage your scalp, thereby increasing chances of hair breakage if you tie them up too tight.
Pro tip: Loosely tie a braid which will give your hair that much needed room to breathe and let loose.
It might as well be a weapon of mass hair breakage.
Always make sure you
comb your hair with a wide tooth comb before oiling. This helps detangle the hair, enables even application of oil on the strands and it also prevents breakage.
But if you do the same thing after oiling, it’s a no-go! Hair strands can weaken and break.
Okay okay, so what is the right way then?
Is there a technique that gives the best hair oiling results?
Marma Massage - An Ayurvedic technique for ultimate hair health
But wait, what exactly is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a holistic science of health and wellness that has been practiced in India for over 5000 years and has been
trusted for its natural remedies that yield beneficial results. A therapeutic scalp massage has been a common practice of this ancient tradition. A relaxing Ayurvedic head massage helps reinvigorate our three higher chakras- the mind, body and spirit.
According to Ayurvedic texts there are 108 vital points on the body called Marma Points. 31 of which are on the head, they’re the cross over points where arteries, veins and cranial nerves intersect.
They help in draining, cooling and relieving pressure.
When massaged,
these Marma Points or pressure points are activated and boost blood circulation and flow, enabling enhanced nutrient delivery and promote healthy hair growth. So don’t let that hair oiling sesh go waste, make the most of it with a Marma Massage.
A Marma Massage using an authentic Ayurvedic oil can benefit in many ways.
Improves circulation
Relieves stress
Helps remove toxins from the body
Stimulates hair growth

What makes this authentic Ayurvedic hair oil, different from the rest -
how is it made?
First things first,
Ayurvedic therapies are rooted in the principle that anything applied to the body is of great significance because the properties of the product can seep into our body through the skin. Which is why it’s extremely important to use products that are safe and do not contain harmful chemicals or synthetics.
Extracting the beneficial properties from botany is a delicate process. Ayurveda’s foundational principles expound methods that help preserve the efficacy of a plant’s vitamins and minerals, which means no chemical process, no nasties.
Authentic Ayurvedic practices use the methods of handpicking ingredients and each and every herb has a unique journey of formulation, which is followed as prescribed in the ancient Ayurvedic texts.
It’s not just another trending hair oil. It is an authentic Ayurvedic formulation that goes back centuries, a unique blend of the most powerful ingredients that enrich the hair from within.
