Can hair oil stop hair fall? Here’s what science and ayurveda say
Q1. Can hair oil stop hair fall?
Yes, hair oiling can help reduce hair fall, but not always instantly. Hair fall is caused by multiple reasons: genetics, stress, hormonal changes, pollution, and poor nutrition. Oiling strengthens the hair shaft, nourishes the scalp, improves blood circulation, and reduces breakage. It is a supportive remedy, not a standalone cure.
Q2. What ingredients in hair oils help reduce hair fall?
The most effective oils contain herbs and nutrients that work together:
-
Bhringraj: Known as the ‘King of Herbs’ for hair, it helps extend the hair growth phase.
-
Amla: Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, it strengthens hair roots.
-
Brahmi: Calms the mind and promotes healthy scalp circulation.
-
Neem: It has antibacterial properties that keep dandruff and scalp infections away.
-
Coconut Oil: Penetrates the shaft and prevents protein loss.
-
Castor Oil: Contains ricinoleic acid that improves scalp health.
Q3. How does Satthwa Premium Hair Oil help?
Satthwa Premium Hair Oil blends nine ingredients like Bhringraj, Amla, Grapeseed oil, and Vitamin E. These nourish the scalp, reduce inflammation, and help reduce hair fall with regular use. It’s ideal for those with dry scalps or early-stage hair thinning.
Q4. What about Kalika Hair Oil for greying and hair loss?
Kalika Hair Oil is specially made for premature greying and hair fall. With herbs like Curry Leaves, Indigo, and Henna, it works well for people looking for natural pigment restoration and reduced hair breakage.
Q5. How should I apply hair oil to reduce hair fall?
-
Warm the oil slightly.
-
Apply to the scalp using your fingertips.
-
Massage in circular motions for 5–10 minutes.
-
Leave it on overnight or for at least 2 hours.
-
Wash off with a mild, sulphate-free shampoo.
Oiling 2–3 times a week is sufficient.
Q6. Can oiling worsen hair fall sometimes?
Yes, if:
-
The oil is not washed out properly and clogs pores.
-
You use too much oil and over-shampoo to remove it.
-
You massage too aggressively.
Always be gentle and use just enough to cover the scalp.
Q7. How long does it take to see results?
Most people see visible improvement in hair texture and reduced breakage in 4–6 weeks. Consistency matters. Combined with a good diet and low stress levels, results improve further.
Conclusion:
Hair oiling, when done correctly and with the right ingredients, can be a powerful step to reduce hair fall and promote growth. Ayurvedic formulations like Satthwa’s Premium Hair Oil and Kalika Hair Oil are designed with this in mind. The goal is not just to stop hair fall but to restore balance and strengthen hair from the roots.
