Turns out your mom was right, the good old fashioned champi or oiling is the real deal for glossy hair. Long before the era of conditioners and serums, oiling was the key to beautiful hair. When you massage your scalp regularly with hair oils it improves circulation, strengthens hair follicles, reverses hair damage and improves the general health of your hair.

While the benefits of oiling are enormous, choosing a hair oil that works well with Indian hair can be challenging. This is why we have done all the research for you. Here are the best oils for Indian hair.

 

Coconut Oil

Also, since coconut oil mainly contains medium-chain fatty acids, this oil penetrates more deeply into the hair shaft than most conditioners and stimulates hair growth. 

 

Argan Oil

Although of a Moroccan descendant, the nutty argan oil is enriched with nourishing fatty acids and vitamin E that can revive even the driest of the Indian hair that has been exposed to chemical or sun damage.
