Ayurveda addresses the well-being of the entire person (physical, psychological and spiritual) in an approach to health & healing that is as relevant to the modern world as it was to the ancient world from which it emerged. Herbs and minerals, nutrition and purification, affirmative ways of living are a few of the ways in which Ayurveda treats not just the ailment but the whole person, emphasizing prevention of disease to avoid the need for cure. On avergae when introduced to Ayurvedic practice it can be overwhelming figuring out specific powders and oils to use so we’ve compiled a handy Ayurvedic Hair care list to simplify each herbs purpose. Heres to getting you on the road to healthy hair. Enjoy!

Since Indian women have such beautiful hair, it is certainly worth giving these powders a try. You could also blend different powders together; however, before doing so, take time to familiarize yourself with Ayurvedic powders because certain powders do not work well when mixed together. We’ve made this process easier by creating our signature hair melts in Strengthening Amla/Cassia and Deep conditioning Rose / Hibiscus. Our melts can be melted down and added to your favorite natural conditioner as a Hair mask or used alone as Hot oil treatments.

Before applying these powders to their hair, Indian women pre-treat their hair with a cold pressed oil such as extra virgin coconut oil, mustard oil, sesame seed oil or an oil infused with Ayurvedic herbs. They allow the oil to sit on the hair for an hour or overnight with a plastic cap. They then follow up with the hair pack of their choice the next day making it a wonderful moment for self care, reducing stress and allowing women to have decompression time while caring for their hair.

We also have a a Variety of Hair teas to stimulate hair growth, soothe scalp inflammation and prevent hair fall. Fenugreek Rejuvenating hair mask that will help condition and strengthen hair. And African Black soap shampoo to naturally cleanse hair and balance scalp pH.

All of our products have a Ayurvedic influence and can be used individually as a single treatment or used as a full regimen such as A rejuvenating hair tea rinse paired with our Deep conditioning Rose / Hibiscus hair melt and sealed with our Fenugreek Growth oil making it a custom hair growth regimen.
