Along with a good shampoo and conditioner that suit your hair type, a good hair oil is vital in completing your hair care routine Different hair oils are for different purposes- to moisturize scalp and hair, to prevent hair fall, to fight dandruff, to promote hair growth, reduce itchiness of scalp, impart shine and make hair bouncy  etc.


Why is it important to use a hair oil

– Improves circulation to the scalp and acts a natural cleanser
– Helps sooth dry, itchy scalp and clears it of minuscule dermatitis issues
– Fights scalp infection and dandruff, improves overall scalp health
– Encourages hair growth and strengthens hair follicles for thicker hair strands
– Helps regain lost shine and hair texture

In this post I am listing the best oils for hair growth & reduce hairfall in India. All of these oils are tried and tested by me. These are not listed in any particular order. All of these are easily available online in India and available for shipping abroad.

KOTTAKKAL ARYA VAIDYA SALA NILIBHRINGADI KERATAILAM – INR 185

One of the best hair oils I have ever used. Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala Nilibhringadi Keratailam is a an excellent oil for all types of hair. It’s a Ayurvedic hair oil, used to improve quality of hair, to treat split hairs, premature graying and baldness. This herbal oil is formulated based on Kerala Ayurvedic principles.  It helps maintain and promote the health of the hair and scalp, providing anti-fungal and anti-dandruff actions. It can prevent and reverse premature graying as it cools the head, bestowing a refreshed mental state and a calm, peaceful sleep.  An ideal hair oil for abundant growth of long, dark and dense hair. Gives a cooling effect to hair post wash and drying. I use this oil as a pre wash treatment and after washing and towel drying my hair – I apply few drops Shesha Naturals VCO as a hair post wash oil. This way my hair feels soft, bouncy and I don’t face any hair scalp itchiness or hairfall problems.

AVP NEELIBRINGADI HAIR OIL – INR 211

AVP Nilibhringadi Keratailam is a herbal formulation with coconut oil as base. It’s a Ayurvedic hair oil, used to improve quality of hair, to treat split hairs, premature graying and baldness. This herbal oil is formulated based on Kerala Ayurvedic principles.

It has a strong ayurvedic herbs fragrance and you can pour a little to the steel bowl or any platter and place it on top of warm water to melt the oil a little bit as well heat a little bit. This slight warm oi lcna be massaged directly on the scalp and roots of your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave for about 30 -45 minutes before washing your hair using a mild hair cleanser.  I use it is a pre wash hair oil twice a week. I use this alongside Kottakkal oil as well as Shesha Naturals VCO. Most of weekends when I tend to stay at home. I oil my hair and leave it for a good 45 minutes before washing.

  • Boosts hair growth and promotes healthy scalp
  • Cools off the entire body
  • Prevents dandruff
  • Promotes sound sleep
  • Moisturizes hair
  • Prevents hair fall

SHESHA NATURALS COLD PROCESSED EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL FROM KERALA – INR 299

During my childhood, I always remember my mom bathing me after a long massage session using the ever famous coconut oil. Mom used to use everything from coconut. From making awesome cookies, wonderful Kerala cuisines and even the tender coconut water to make natural vinegar etc. My hair and skin always remained healthy until now. My hair is really thick and I never faced any hair related problems. Thanks to the wonderful coconut oil and also the genes. 

The main difference between regular coconut oil and virgin coconut oil lies in their processes of extraction. While the former is extracted by cold compression or cold milling of Copra (another name for dried Coconut kernels) with a moisture content of around six percent, the latter is extracted from the coconut milk obtained from fresh coconuts. Thereafter, using processes such as fermentation, churning (centrifugal separation), refrigeration, and the action of enzymes, the oil is separated from the water or moisture.

However, in the case of virgin coconut oil, the raw materials and the process of extraction should not allow any involvement of heat. Shesha Naturals has taken utmost care about the manufacturing of virgin coconut oil, throughout the whole process, utmost care is taken to ensure that the kernels and the raw material, i.e. the coconut milk, are not subjected to heat or sunlight.

  • Shesha Naturals Cold Processed Extra VCO is extracted from fresh coconut milk without any chemical processes, it is the purest form of coconut oil, water white in color. What I really love about this is – It gets absorbed to skin real quick. Normal oils will be greasy on skin and take hours to get absorbed. Shesha Naturals Cold Processed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is very very light weight and it instantly gets absorbed into skin.
  • Centrifuge Technology – Made using Centrifuge technology making it India’s Best VCO
  • ‘Absolutely No Heat’ involved in the process making it India’s best VCO.
  • Excellent for haircare, Shesha Naturals VCO is a effective conditioning treatment for rough and dull looking hair. It soothes the dry sensitive skin or scalp and adds lustre to damaged hair. Take required quantity and apply to scalp and gently massage hair from root to tip. Leave for about 20 minutes, Wash your hair using a mild hair cleanser and luke warm water.
  • It protects the skin from infections caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi, prevents dandruff and promotes hair growth if used regularly.

I have used Vatika ages ago but that oil was not my must have in my hair care routine. I have also used kottakal neelinbringadi oil and loved it. I have always wanted to try induleka but never did. Maybe will give that a try. The juicy chemistry oil seems interesting too. Thank you for this amazing article.
