Ah, the quest for the right hair oil. It’s a journey, right? For controlling hair fall, Bhringraj and Amla are long-standing favorites in Ayurveda. Bhringraj is revered as the 'King of Herbs’ for hair, reputed for strengthening hair roots. Ditch fancy packaging and big brand promises; if you can get a simple bhringraj oil or powder mixed with coconut oil, it’s a good start. Apply it twice a week, massage gently, leave it on for an hour before a good rinse. Don’t expect overnight magic, give it about 6-8 weeks.
Amla is a close second, loaded with vitamin C. Amla oil or infusing it in coconut oil can work wonders. Some say it’s stronger when paired with Brahmi for that extra edge against hair fall, but it’s not necessary. As for brands, just keep it simple and go for the most kitchenaire-looking labels. It’s authenticity that matters here.
Castor oil? Yea, multi-talented stuff. It’s super thick, so mix it up a bit with coconut or almond oil—helps fighting the fall and encourages growth. This gooey gem needs some time, though. Try once a week and expect it to strengthen hair strands over a couple months.
Now, rosemary and tea tree essential oils—they rock at controlling dandruff and scalp funk. But don’t let those touch your scalp directly; mix 'em with a carrier oil like jojoba or coconut first, just a few drops. Two, maybe three times weekly should be fine.
About your oily scalp and dry strand dilemma, Jojoba oil mimics natural sebum, won’t grease up things more, yet conditions. Using it on the scalp and ends might balance the oily-dry issue. Again, twice a week treatment is a sweet spot.
Essentially, patience is your truest ally, and the best tips are consistency, regular scalp massages, a balanced diet, and chill—stress really does a number on hair. Give the oils some weeks, and see how it goes. And remember, what works for one head might not work for another, so adjusting is part of the gig.
