Taking care of your skin and hair become more
challenging with age. Human body goes through quite a few trials and errors in the whole life span. As far as I've witnessed so far, for women, it happens when they hit puberty,
second when they enter in their late 20’s and start dealing with mature aging, and lastly when they leave the
reproduction age and gradually enter into menopause.
Along with the body, skin and hair also go through considerable amount of changes.
I am grateful to come across a few classy, amaze-balls products in my life. And right now, they have been working wonders
for me. So, for the time being, my worries to deal with skin & hair care are pretty much sorted.
As I have been suffering from severe hair fall
throughout my whole life, I face a hell lot of challenges every now and then
managing my hair. If you have read my previous post, you must know that I have
extremely fine hair with an extremely oily scalp. Maintaining it is one of my
biggest struggles I face in my everyday life. I don't experiment with my hair
that often. But if I come across any products that are naturally made, I like
to give it a try.
‘Kama Ayurveda’
is one such brand whose few products have been helping me immensely for the
past 3-4 years. They are pure,
natural, preservative free, and absolute blessings of Ancient Ayurveda.
Let’s talk about ‘Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Intensive Hair Treatment Oil’
in details.

My experience:
I used to mix castor
oil and organic sweet almond oil to massage my hair. That too used to
work well for me. Since I started using this Kama
Ayurveda hair oil, I didn’t go back to that.
This oil is greenish black in color and has a strong ayurvedic fragrance. But for me, it’s a no-bother.
As I use oil on my hair pretty extensively each time, it takes a strict wash to
get out of the grease properly. I skip conditioner on most of the days because
this oil naturally conditions the hair. And
without conditioner too, my hair feels pretty soft
and shiny. If you wash your scalp thoroughly, you won’t find any traces
of the oil left.
Apart this, this oil also helps keeping the
dandruff at bay. Irrespective of what oil you use, when you massage your scalp
gently, it activates more blood circulation. If you can get someone to help you
massaging the scalp, it would be great as you’ll feel so relaxed and get a
hair-spa like feeling. Actually, you can carry your own oil to the salon and request the salon-person to use it specifically.
Does it really reduce hair fall?
I can give you a one-liner short & sweet
answer. But it’s better that I share little extra. See, how much hair fall one
deals with will depend on so many things.
a) Heredity
and gene
b) Internal
health (hormones etc.)
c) Daily
lifestyle
d) External
care (the quality and usage of shampoo, conditioner, oil, heating & styling
accessories, hair products, etc.)
e) Quality
of water in your washroom
f) Age
g) Stress
The points mentioned above play dominant roles on caressing of your precious locks. Even
if any one of them is active somehow, it takes a toll, and we suffer from
excess hair fall. So, it is vital to take care of our health as much as
possible.
Apart from this, no oil has magic power to stop hair fall entirely. Fragile hair is prone to breakage.
So, like me, those who have that issue by birth, suffer from hair fall
automatically. The question is, how much can you do to minimize it?
For this kind of hair, whenever we use any oil on
our hair, the root becomes loose, and we see severe hair fall even if we are
using our best product. It is essential
that we see the growth of new hair strands after losing the old hair. With this
oil too, I see excess hair fall the day I use it on my hair. But I believe,
people who have got luscious locks and strong roots, will not face that much of
hair fall. Do let me know.
I still think this hair oil is extraordinarily
amazing. Why?
Because after using this oil, gradually, I have noticed small baby hair all over my head, which gives me confidence that this
oil is helping in new hair growth, which is
a must do. On other days, when I don’t wash my hair, I don't see excessive hair
fall. As my hair is very knotty, at least I lose 40-50 stands every single day.
Moreover, my husband too uses this oil once a
week. And he is also getting amazing result after using it. So, both men and women can use it regularly.
Every person is different. And every product acts
differently on everybody. So, before you try something new, it is necessary to
take a patch test first, and then go for it on a regular basis. If any product
is causing any effect that is not supposed to happen, stop immediately, and
consult your doctor. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should always consult
their doctor before using any product.
Conclusion:
For me, this oil is a blessing because I don’t
find hair products that often which help in growing
new hair, don’t cause any side effects as well, and most importantly, is free from chemicals and preservatives.
Have you used this oil? What’s your take in it?
Please share your thoughts here.
Cheers!!!
Happy Living…
