Grow Strong Hair Oil

Our hero treatment oil combines refined Ayurvedic elixirs to activate follicles at a cellular level helping to reconstruct, protect and deliver intense hydration. Expertly formulated in England, herbs of thickening bhringraj, rejuvenating bhrami and conditioning amla are individually infused in a base of nutrient-rich moringa, flame of the forest, argan, sesame and coconut oils.

Hand-blended using traditional Ayurvedic methods, the oils and herbs are separately heated at their various optimal temperatures, then cooled and reheated several times over eight-twelve weeks, to ensure the blends mature and the infuse, at which point soothing Himalayan cedarwood and turmeric leaf are added and further left to settle.

For the ultimate night-time repair ritual, apply 2-3 drops along sections of brushed, parted hair and massage as if shampooing to cover roots and scalp, working oil through to ends. Once applied (you may wish to cover your pillow a towel), sleep well, wake and wash as normal. If you prefer, leave in for 2hrs, as that is sufficient time for the oil to penetrate and nourish scalp and roots and then wash as normal. Use twice weekly for the first six weeks (and on holiday, when hair can become particularly parched) and weekly thereafter. Regular treatment helps reduce premature thinning, adds thickness, softness and shine.

Please note: given the all-natural nature of this comb, do not soak in water or use in the shower, as this will undermine the structural integrity of the wood.

"A common Indian phrase is to 'do his/her Champi', which translates to stroking someone's ego and making them feel good. Practised in Ayurveda and even featured in the Kama Sutra, Champi is, in fact, the term used for an Indian head massage. A good champi using superior oils helps relieve mental fatigue, enhance clarity and memory and balance emotion, as well as strengthening hair and scalp. Champi someone you love with Grow Strong and have them Champi you; it feels good". Bittu Kaushal

"The ritual of a weekly head massage is part of life in India and indeed in West London! My mother would give me and each of my six siblings a weekly Indian head massage. I loved how relaxing it felt, the good nights sleep that followed and the quality of my hair when washed. Beyond this, my mother knew that healthier hair depends on a well-conditioned scalp, which would also reduce stress, calm blood pressure and serves as a good antidote to a nagging headache. I now apply Grow Strong on my son and cherish the ritual of nurturing him physically and emotionally through this loving practice" Anita Kaushal.
