Inspired by 2,000 years of Ayurveda, hair oiling has been at the heart of Indian beauty rituals. For generations, women and men have turned to this practice to nurture strong, glossy hair and a healthy scalp. Today, as the world embraces traditional self-care, this ancient ritual is reclaiming its place in India’s natural haircare scene.
When you infuse your scalp with the nourishing power of Ayurvedic oils, the benefits go far beyond shine. Regular hair oiling:
· Stimulates blood circulation
· Strengthens hair follicles
· Delivers vital nutrients directly to the roots These actions help reduce hair fall, slow premature greying, prevent dandruff, and minimize split ends without the harshness of chemical-heavy products.
Beyond beauty, the ritual itself is deeply restorative. The act of massaging oil into the scalp eases tension in the head, neck, and shoulders, relieving headaches, reducing stress, and even promoting better sleep. Ayurveda teaches that the scalp holds vital marma points (energy centers), making oiling both therapeutic and rejuvenating.
In India, hair oiling is more than just self-care. It is a cherished ritual of love passed down through generations. The Sanskrit word sneha translates to both “oil” and “love,” reflecting the deep emotional connection behind this practice. From a grandmother massaging oil into
her granddaughter’s hair to parents caring for their children, this timeless act is as much about bonding as it is about beauty.

· Begin at the crown and massage the scalp in gentle circular motions with your fingertips to stimulate blood circulation.
· Spread the oil evenly from scalp to ends, using light pressure for maximum absorption.
· Leave it on for at least 20 minutes or overnight for deeper nourishment (cover your pillow to protect bedding).
· Rinse by applying shampoo directly to oiled hair before adding water, then wash thoroughly. Pair with Bringaras Balancing Shampoo for best results.
