Traditionally, beautiful hair has long been associated with health and wellness. Ayurvedic practitioners used natural oils and herbs to strengthen the hair and promote healthy hair growth. Check out these time-tested, Ayurvedic oils used to help nourish, heal, and stimulate hair growth:
Eclipta Alba
Rich in protein, Eclipta Alba Oil is honoured in Ayurvedic hair remedies to help repair dry, damaged hair, and protect against excessive styling. Often mixed with Coconut oil for a scalp massage to stimulate hair growth.
Amla Oil
Packed with Vitamin C, Amla Oil is antioxidant rich to help fight free-radicals while maintaining colour, strength, and shine. Found in our Nurture Hair Oil, it can be used a deep conditioning treatment to rejuvenate the hair and scalp.
Coconut Oil
Also known as one of the healthiest oils on earth. Coconut Oil is used in Ayurvedic in hair treatments to nourish dehydrated hair and protect it against environmental stressors, and heat from styling and colouring.
Steps for a Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment
- A warm oil massage helps to improve circulation throughout the scalp while strengthening the roots of the hair. Practice this nourishing scalp massage one to three times per week.
- Apply Coconut Oil or 4-5 pumps of our Nurture Hair Oil to the head and gently massage into the scalp with the pads of the fingertips.
- Let the oil penetrate for one hour or leave on overnight to help promote sound sleep.
- Wash out with shampoo, no conditioner necessary.
