Which hair oil do you use Bajaj almond drops, dabur amla, navratna cool or patanjali kesh kanti. Have you ever checked your hair oil ingredients? If not then you will be shocked, poisonous chemicals are added in more than 90% of the hair oils in the Indian market, which can cause hair fall, hair thinning, dandruff, scalp irritation and even cancer. This will not be an exaggeration, If I call these so called hair oils, toxic perfumes. if you are inadvertently using these hair oils then the chances of your hair fall problem will be increased, so it is very important that you use natural hair oil to ensure proper nourishment of hair.

So which is the best hair oil in the Indian market, let's find out, I will also share with you which hair oil will be the best suit according to your hair type and weather condition.

To find out about this, I bought about 20 hair oils, some from supermarkets and the rest online. After thoroughly testing all the ingredients of these hair oils, I was quite disappointed because the hair oils which are most popular are also toxic and by toxic I mean which is very damaging for your hair. These include dangerous preservatives like petroleum products, harmful alcohols, artificial fragrance, cosmetic colors, BHT, TBHQ and no idea what has been inserted. While oil is one thing that can be easily extracted in pure form, it is a matter of regret that most companies are not doing it. I have divided all these hair oils into three categories according to their ingredients.

Category 1-

It has mostly those hair oils which the Indian public uses the most. These include cosmetic colors from artificial fragrance to mineral oils to alcohol, almost all toxic chemicals have been added to these hair oils, which you can think of. From the top these hair oils look like the outside is not even from the inside.

For example - Bajaj almond drops oil, if you were thinking that you are applying pure badam oil so I am sorry that is not at all. This oil contains 77% light liquid paraffin, light liquid paraffin which is another name for mineral oil. It is a by-product of a petroleum industry that can contain cancerous hydrocarbons, then it contains 21% mustard oil including almond oil.

Category 2-

This category is very interesting. It contains Navratna cool oil, Dabur's enriched coconut oil, biotique hair oil and patanjali kesh kanti, these are basically the so called hair oils. There is no doubt that these hair oils contain ayurvedic herbs such as beetraj, amla, bahera etc. But the problem with these hair oils is that these hair oils do not mention their entire ingredients list.

Apart from adding a lot of herbal ingredients, the major part is also in the excipients about which a common customer does not know anything. Secondly, artificial fragrances, cosmetic colors, harsh preservatives like TBHQ and BHT have also been added to these hair oils, so next time you go to buy a ayurvedic hair oil, check that it is not in this category. So we have seen how most of the companies are just doing good marketing of their hair oils.

Why harmful chemicals are added in hair oils?

1. These ingredients are very cheap. Mineral oil is a very cheap, non sticky oil-like substance in itself, which has neither a color nor a fragrance of any reason, because of this it is perfect for adulteration. Do you know that baby massage oil of johnson and johnsons is 100% mineral oil.

2. Artificial fragrance and cosmetic colors are added to hair oil only for this reason so that they look good. Although you will be surprised to know that more than 200 toxic chemicals can be used to make an artificial fragrance, but these chemicals, brand also do not need to be disclosed because the patent of a brand on a pertinent fragrance is there and Lastly preservatives like BHT and TBHQ are added only so that the hair oils do not spoil for years. It is clear that these harsh chemicals are very good for oil manufacturers but are not less than any poison for the hair of consumers like us.

Which hair oil should we use?

Are there such hair oils in the Indian market that are pure and genuinely make our hair long and strong. Yes, pure coconut oil of patanjali, coconut oil of Dabur fall in this category which has only one ingredient, 100% coconut oil. Even better choice would be if we use cold pressed coconut oil because the grade of cold pressed oil is always better.

If you really want to use genuine almond oil, then use Dabur's badam Rogan oil. If you have hair fall and you want to use pure Ayurvedic hair oil, then Baidyanath's mahabhringraj oil is the perfect option. Raw condensed mustard oil is easily available in the Indian market, you can also use as a hair oil. Pure erand oil is also available and is very good for hair regrowth.

How to choose the best hair oil for your hair type?

It depends on your hair type and under what type of weather conditions you live. Coconut oil is versatile multi purpose hair oil that can be used for almost all hair types but is most effective for dry, damaged and dull hair. Coconut oil is the best option for those places where humidity is very high, like near the sea. Nature has planted coconut in such places with great thinking. Coconut oil should be avoided in the cold not only because it freezes but also because it is also cooling for some body. Almond oil is best if you have a lot of dandruff problem, if you have itching in scalp, then massage the regular lee with almond oil.

If your hair is dry, then mustard oil is best for you, mustard oil is not recommended in areas with humidity but is very suitable for cold areas. Like I said if you want to increase hair growth then castor oil, also called castor oil is the best option, using it regularly can increase hair growth by 3 to 5 times. Mahabhringraj oil is also described in Ayurvedic texts, it is good for hair fall, it is very medicinal anyway, massaging 2-3 times a week is enough.

How to find out if the hair oil that you are using is toxic or not?

It's simple, before buying any hair oil, check its ingredients if it contains mineral oil or LLP or light liquid paraffin (petroleum product), artificial fragrance or fragrance or perfume or sugandhit dravya, cosmetic colors, phenoxethanol (alcohol), BHT (preservatives) Do not waste money if there are any ingredients like TBHQ (preservatives), isopropyl myristate (additive), piroctone olamine (additive). Friends, whenever you buy a product, always check its ingredients and buy not seeing the brand and I assure that using a good natural hair oil will reduce your hair loss, dandruff and other hair problems almost instantly.
