Okay, so sounds like you’re dealing with quite a few hair issues, and it’s understandable that it can be pretty frustrating. In the realm of Ayurveda, hair problems like yours often relate to an imbalance in doshas, especially Vata, which can cause dryness. Now, about oils - bhringraj is amazing for hair growth because it strengthens hair roots and nourishes the scalp, plus it’s known for treating hair fall. Amla is also great as it nourishes the fibers and helps in reducing premature graying. Now, neem might help more with dandruff since it’s got antiseptic properties… great if your scalp is a bit itchy or flaky.
For your dry scalp, bhringraj oil also helps as it’s moisturizing. Use a bhringraj-amla mix, as they often come together in formulations, should tackle growth and scalp issues simultaneously. I wouldn’t say you need separate stuff for growth and dandruff. Look for a good quality bhringraj oil and try applying it twice a week. That’s usually enough, though nightly might be a tad much. Remeber, hair needs to breathe!
When it comes to applying the oil, it’s not so much about quantity but quality of your massage. Use your fingertips - gentle, but firm strokes in a circular motion to boost blood circulation without damaging roots. That little extra hair fall post-oiling could actually be just weak hairs naturally shedding. But if you feel it increases dramatically, maybe ease up on pressure or lessen the quantity a bit.
About sesame oil, you’re right, it can be heavy. Stick with lighter oils like coconut or the bhringraj, especially because your hair’s on the finer side. Warming the oil slightly before application can indeed enhance absorption and effectiveness. Just a lukewarm touch, nothing too hot!
Lastly, mixing in some aloe gel now and then or using herbal shampoos containing fenugreek or reetha might help you get better results. And don’t forget, diet plays a huge role too — lots of greens, proteins, and omega-3s to nourish from within! Hopefully, with the right oil and some TLC, you’ll see your hair getting back to its former glory soon!
