Himalaya Herbals Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil : Review

Guest Post By Sreeparna

In summer months I increase the frequency of hair washes to prevent dandruff from scalp-sweating. It eventually dehydrates my hair and makes them look dull. I like to oil my hair in hot summer days when I am not going to go out. That’s why I need good quality hair oils for summer. I am not much experimental with my hair products because I have hairfall problem too. But, this year I somehow managed myself to get a new hair oil. This is how Himalaya Herbals Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil came to my kitty. Stay tuned to know more on my experience with this low-budget scalp treatment oil.

How to Use

Packaging

The Anti-Dandruff hair oil comes on a transparent plastic bottle with deep green plastic flip-open cum screw open cap. This bottle is packed inside a cardboard box with similar label graphics as the bottle. Both the bottle and the box have deep green written information over white.

Colour, Texture & Smell

This hair oil is colourless and transparent. The texture is not at all thick, but quite runny. Its non-oily formula applies very easily to the hair. This oil has weird herbal smell. I could identify traces of tea tree oil smell in it. Thankfully the smell is not long-staying. The fragrance vanishes within a few hours if I am doing overnight oiling. The smell does not stay after hair wash.

My Views

I have been using this oil for over one month now. I like to apply it as a pre-shampoo hair nourisher or a substitute of conditioner for the days I am feeling lazy to apply conditioner and let it stay put for 5 minutes. This oil moisturizes my hair quite well without making my head an oil-factory if I am using it as pre-poo. The days I am feeling impatient or I am to stay home I follow my regular shampoo routine with a few drops of this oil. In both these ways, this shampoo makes my hair soft and manageable. These were the pros of this product. Now, in the ingredient list of this ugly smelling product, there are only the names of active ingredients; nothing has been mentioned about the base material of this oil or the preservatives used. I have used some body oils from Himalaya which clearly mentioned all those details. I like to know about what I am putting in my hair so this is a con for me. This shampoo, after using a month, did very less in curing my mild dandruff problem. That means, this oil would take eternity to control heavy dandruff or scalp infection.

To me, this one is just another hair oil with herbal formula and some nutrifying properties. Its anti-dandruff claim did not do any work for me.

Likes

• Non-sticky and light-weight formula
• Contains hair nourishing herbal ingredients like Rosemary and Tea tree
• Gives nourished and soft hair
• Budget-friendly

Dislikes

• Does nothing to heavy dandruff or moderate to high scalp irritation
• Smells weird
• Only the active ingredients are mentioned in the ingredient list

Summary: 2.5/5

This Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil felt like an average product to me. This budget-friendly hair oil just nourishes and softens your hair, takes care of mild dandruff and scalp problems. If you have major scalp issues, then I am afraid this one might disappoint you.

Have you used this anti-dandruff oil? Do you like medicated hair oils or the regular ones?
