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. About Himalaya Herbals Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil is a special treatment oil which is enriched with Tea-tree oil, the most effective natural anti-dandruff agent and Rosemary, an effective anti-fungal agent. Neem and Hyaramaka help treat scalp infections that can cause dandruff. Regular use keeps scalp healthy and dandruff-free. Price Rs.170 for 200gm. Buy here. Ingredients Each ml contains: Oils Rusmari Lf. 50mg, Hyamaraka Lf. 20mg, Kayaputi Lf. 5mg, Nimba Sd. 2mg How to Use Apply liberally on hair and scalp and gently massage, leave overnight. Wash with Himalaya Herbals Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. 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? Share in the comments below. Love…

Hello Gorgeous. Many bloggers have written already many versions of this formula and many readers must be already aware of this mix. We mix carrier oils with few essential oils to get a very potent hair oil to address all the hair problems. We need to select certain carrier & essential oils that are specific to our hair problems like dryness, roughness & dullness of hair can be treated with Olive oil, Coconut oil or Almond oil. Similarly hair regrowth can be stimulated with castor oil. Essential oil such as Levander oil, Tea Tree oil, Neem oil etc are known to treat infection & dandruff while encouraging hair regrowth. What You Will Need? My hair problems are generally hair roughness/dullness/dryness with a lot of hair fall. This is my custom mix Carrier Oil : Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil & Catsor Oil. Essential Oil : Lavender Oil & Neem Oil. I also use Aroma Magic Hair Stimulate Oil for extra efficacy. Vitamin E Capsules or Vitamin E Oil. An empty, clean & dry glass/plastic bottle to store the mix. A measuring cup. You can use a simple cup if you don’t have a measuring cup. Just mark few levels on the cup. Castor Oil is great for hair regrowth. I also use castor oil to lengthen and strengthen my eye lashes too. It is used in almost every hair regrowth herbal oil because of its efficacy to regrow hair unless hair follicles are dead. Aroma Magic Hair Stimulate Oil is a mix of different essential oils that encourage hair growth. Will be doing a separate post on this too. How To Prepare The Mix? It is no rocket science to prepare the mix. Once you have gathered all the oils, and an empty bottle, start with a measuring cup. Depending upon your need, you need to figure out the quantity of every carrier oil. I took 50ml of each oil – Almond oil, Coconut oil, Olive oil & Castor Oil. Olive oil & Castor oil are little thick in consistency so my final mix turned out to be little heavy. If you want to keep the consistency little light, you can reduce the quantity of Castor & Olive Oil, like 20 ml of each while mixing 50ml of Coconut & 50 ml of Almond oil. If you are preparing this mix for the first time you can prepare it in small batch so that you can see yourself what consistency suits you. The colour of the mix so obtained depends upon the type of the oils & the quantity of the oils taken. In case you omit Olive oil & Neem Oil, you will get a clear oil mix. How To Use The Mix? Prefer night time to apply this oil so that it stays on your hair all night long. Before applying this oil to your hair you can also place the bottle in warm water so that you can have that much relaxing hot oil champi. Try to section your hair and apply on the roots for better absorption. Massage with you finders applying light pressure until you feel the oil has been absorbed. You can also proceed with hot towel wraps for better oil absorption. You do not have to gather every thing I have mentioned here. Analyse what your hair need and what is available with you. You can even prepare your hair oil mix with any carrier oil and an essential oil. It’s totally upto you hair needs. Do you also use some oil mix for your hair? Care to share? Love.
