The art of hair oiling has been around for centuries in the South Asian countries. It is a ritual I carry forward and practice today. Hair oiling has numerous benefits such as nourishing the scalp, moisturizing the strands, stimulating blood flow, promoting hair growth, and lifting product build-up. In this blog post, I will let you in on some of my top favorite Indian hair oils that I love to use when I don’t feel like making my homemade blend.
As I try to shift the narrative on where we choose to purchase products from, I have made it my mission to support inclusive, sustainable, and female-founded brands. From my understanding, each of these brands below fits this mission of contributing towards making a positive impact without compromising on quality and beauty.
Fable and Mane
The HoliRoots Hair Oil by Fable and Mane was the first ever Indian hair oil I tried besides our typical Parachute coconut oil or my DIY concoctions. This is a beautiful hair oil with so many amazing key ingredients such as ashwagandha and dashmool which strengthen the scalp. This has a sweeter, more perfume-like fragrance compared to the earthy smells that are typical in hair oil. This is a great oil for sticking to a hair oil routine and maintaining your hair.
Innate Life
The Rosemary Scalp Treatment is an amazing hair oil if you are struggling with weak hair or hair loss. This oil treatment is packed with literally every powerhouse ingredient for your hair from rosemary to fenugreek. Check this out for a potent hair oil.
Rthvi
The Revitalize Natural Hair Growth Oil is another great option for an all-purpose Indian hair oil that can be used weekly. It has a more earthly smell but one that is not off-putting. This is a must-try for a long-term hair treatment that will yield amazing results. Ingredients such as Amla and Bhringraj work to promote hair growth.
Aavrani
Aavrani just came out with a new haircare line, and it is something to be excited about. Their Hair and Scalp Recovery Oil is an amazing oil for repairing damage and controlling frizz. With key ingredients like their bond complex and amla oil, this is a no-brainer for those with weaker hair. If you feel like your hair is prone to breakage or just damaged, try this out. It has a more spa-like scent.
By Erim
Lastly, let’s talk about a brand with a beautiful story. By Erim’s Hair and Beard Oil is one that is made with love and tradition in mind. This is a great all-purpose hair oil if you are looking for an option that can work as both a pre-wash hair oil and a post-wash hair serum. This definitely will not take as many washes to rinse out so if you are always pressed for time, this may be a good option.
