The Science Behind Hair Oiling
Before we guide you through the ritual, let's understand why this practice has endured for millennia. Shiroabhaynga, a therapeutic head massage, is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy aimed at promoting relaxation, rejuvenation, and holistic well-being. Hair oiling and practicing shipabhyanga provide deep nourishment to both scalp and strands, creating an environment for optimal hair health. Our specialized blends combine traditional wisdom with scientific innovation to:
- Nourish the scalp's microbiome.
- Strengthen hair from root to tip.
- Protect against environmental damage.
- Promote healthy hair growth.
- Balance scalp's natural oils
Begin with dry hair and create 2-3 sections for easy application. This thoughtful preparation ensures even distribution and sets the stage for your self-care moment.
Apply oil directly to your scalp and perform shiroabhyanga (traditional Ayurvedic massage for the scalp and hair) with gentle circular motions. This stimulating practice promotes circulation and deepens the oil's penetration while creating a moment of mindful connection.
Allow the oil to work its magic for 20-30 minutes or leave overnight for deeper nourishment. When ready, shampoo thoroughly to reveal revitalized, nourished hair.
For daily maintenance and protection, warm 2-3 drops (depending on hair thickness)between palms and smooth through mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair before styling. This simple step adds shine, protection, and manageability to your everyday look.
Elevate Your Ritual: Pro Tips from Our Experts
Temperature Matters
For deeper penetration, slightly warm the oil before application. Place the bottle in warm (not hot) water for 2-3 minutes to enhance absorption and the sensory experience.
Traditional Tools
Incorporate a neem wood comb into your ritual. This traditional tool helps stimulate the scalp while distributing oils evenly. The natural properties of neem add their own benefits to your practice.
Overnight Transformation
For the ultimate treatment, apply before bed and wrap hair in a silk scarf. This ancient practice allows maximum absorption while protecting your linens.
