Hair Oiling: Nurture Your Scalp, Nourish Your Soul


Hair Oiling: A Tradition Rooted in Care


For generations, hair oiling has been at the heart of Indian Ayurvedic traditions - a practice not just about beauty, but a ritual of love and care passed from one generation to another. I have fond memories of my mum oiling my hair as a child. It wasn’t just about the oil; it was about the bond, the soothing moments of connection, and the care she poured into that ritual. I myself passed on this tradition with my own three daughters and I look forward to when I can do it with my baby granddaughter.

The Ayurvedic Wisdom Behind Hair Oiling

In Ayurveda, the health of your hair is deeply linked to your doshas (the three fundamental energies in the body). Regular hair oiling is believed to balance these energies, improving hair texture, strengthening roots, and promoting overall scalp health. Beyond the physical benefits, this tradition encourages mindfulness, offering a moment to care for yourself and unwind. This practice is a meditative ritual that not only nourishes your hair but also provides a moment of stillness and connection amidst the hustle of daily life.

The Benefits of Hair Oiling

Strengthens Hair Roots: Massaging oil into the scalp stimulates blood circulation, which nourishes the roots and encourages hair growth.

Prevents Dryness and Dandruff: Oiling deeply hydrates the scalp, preventing dryness and flakiness.

Enhances Hair Texture: Regular oiling adds shine, smoothness, and softness to your hair.

Soothes the Mind: The process of gently massaging your scalp can reduce stress, leaving you refreshed and calm.

How to Incorporate Hair Oiling into Your Routine

Choose the Right Oil: Use a natural, nutrient-rich oil that complements your hair’s needs.

Warm the Oil in the palm of your hands: Warm oil penetrates the scalp better and provides a soothing experience.

Massage Gently: Using your fingertips, massage the oil into your scalp in circular motions.

Leave It On: Let the oil sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper nourishment.

Wash Off: Use a mild shampoo to rinse off the oil, leaving your hair clean and moisturised.
