A roundup of all the hair oils I tried in the past few weeks. Honestly, I’m sure I have the same hair as always, but probably more grey than anything else.
A lot of these oils are so expensive – over $50 and when I used them, I really thought that it might be better to get a cheap oil and just put the rest of the money towards a nice perfume.
Of all of these, my least favourite oil was the Balmyard one. I found that it made my hair crispy, even after I washed it off, so I think that blend of oils is film-forming. The Ouai oil has silicone in it, so it’s not really a true oil, but it’s the best for frizz. The Aesop oil is good for a nice head massage. Sahajan – well that’s my favourite. The UMA Oil was good because it washed out clean and that’s a priority for me. The castor oil is from Amazon.
Obviously, I didn’t use any of these long enough to be able to see a real difference in terms of growth or hair health. For that, I would need to use each oil for at least 3 months, and I’d need to develop a consistent way of measuring change. I’m not doing that, and I don’t think any of these oils advertise life-changing hair development. That being said, the ritual of giving your scalp a nice massage cannot be appreciated enough, and if you’re locked down like we all are right now, a little ritual like this one might just be the thing that saves you.
