Hello I can understand your concern regarding choosing correct hair oil but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ What the product is
According to its ingredients list: It contains herbal extracts like Bhringraj Amla Brahmi Lodhra Kundru, Sesame oil and Coconut oil as carrier oils.
It states that it is “thinner as compared to other hair oils … for this reason … non-sticky in nature.”
✅What you need to check for your specific issue (extreme dandruff)
Dandruff often arises due to scalp fungus / excess oil / Kapha-Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda.
A hair oil that is too heavy or very occlusive might worsen dandruff, especially if your scalp is oily.
Since you mentioned that greasy hair will make things worse, the fact that the product says “thinner / non-sticky” is a positive sign.
✅ Is it “lightweight” or “greasy”?
The product is described as thinner compared to other hair oils.
It uses Sesame oil and Coconut oil as carriers. Sesame is somewhat heavier than coconut, but coconut oil tends to feel lighter and less greasy.
So, relative to many heavy Ayurvedic oils, it may feel lighter, but “lightweight” is a relative term and how it feels will depend on your scalp type.
If your scalp is oily and you already have dandruff, even a moderately oily product can accumulate.
✅ My recommendation for you
Since you have extreme dandruff, here’s how to use it safely and make sure it doesn’t worsen greasiness:
Use the oil 2-3 times per week (not daily), and only leave it for 1-2 hours before washing, rather than overnight, so the scalp oils don’t sit too long.
Before applying, wash your scalp with a good anti-dandruff shampoo (preferably herbal or any that your dermatologist approves).
After applying the oil and before washing, you can wrap your hair with a warm towel for 20-30 minutes to help penetration but avoid sweating.
Ensure your wash uses lukewarm water and shampoo thoroughly so there’s no residue left.
Monitor: if after 2-3 uses your scalp feels heavier or dandruff seems more, then reduce frequency further.
If you have a very oily scalp (Kapha predominance), you might also want to mix a few drops of tea-tree or neem oil into this oil to augment its anti-dandruff effect (after patch-testing).
Yes — Patanjali Kesh Taila appears reasonably suitable for someone with dandruff, provided you use it carefully with proper washing and scalp hygiene.
It is lighter than many heavy Ayurvedic oils, but not ultra-light; you’ll still need to monitor greasiness especially if your scalp is oily.
If you notice any increase in dandruff flakes, scalp oiliness, itching or heaviness, it might mean the oil is too much for your specific scalp type or the application frequency/duration needs adjustment.
Wishing you a good health😊

Patanjali Kesha Taila is generally safe and ingredient are herbal, so there is nothing harmful in it. But since the basis sesame oil, it is slightly on the heavier side, it is not extremely sticky, but it is not a lightweight oil. Either for someone with CVR dandruff and oily or greasy scalp. Using too much of it or keeping it overnight can make this scalp more oily and worsen flakes. If you still want to use it, apply only a small amount and keep it on for 1 to 2 hours before washing, not overnight and make sure you wash the scalp thoroughly If it increases greasiness or itching, it is better to switch to lighter antidandruff option
