Head oiling (Shiro abhyanga) is a Dinacharya that improves hair quality, calms the mind & strengthens the eyes
Head oiling (Shiro abhyanga) is an important Dinacharya listed in the Ayurvedic texts.
Many are suprised to know that improved hair strength, hair growth and hair quality is one of the least benefits of head oiling.
It is especially useful for many mental and physical benefits and is recommended to be done daily by Ayurveda.
Ayurveda recommends we oil the scalp regularly. We are also supposed to oil the hair 1 hour before we use any cleansing product on it.

Testimonials
Too good
Too good if you want to stop hairfall and frizziness
Excellent true ayurvedic hair oil for pitta based stress.
2 years back due to life stage and situations I used to sleep on time but wake up in the middle of the night and was unable to go back to sleep. So I changed to this hair oil and I have discovered that I have predominant vata dosha too in the head as my hair seemed dull and lifeless and since I had long hair very prone to split ends too . I mix harmony and conditioning oils in the 50:50 ratio and I love that I have very less split ends and my hair now reaches well below waist. There are still days when I wake up in the middle of the night but am somehow able to sleep again. Thank you krya for manufacturing such great products.
One of the best purchases
Have been following the guided procedure for oil application and notice the difference in hair fall within a month. The best part of it is the oil gets absorbed so well that I don't even mind leaving it for 3 4 days as guided.
Highly recommended
