Slow minutes, not another step

Hair oiling is not another step to squeeze into a routine. It is the part of the evening where you stop, and your hair happens to benefit.

Suits every hair type. Rinse-off or leave-in.

How the ritual runs

Four slow steps, start to finish.

  1. The oil and a wooden comb laid out ready

    Apply

    A few drops, warmed between your palms.

    A minute
  2. The bottles and a brush on the bathroom shelf

    Massage

    Small circles across the scalp, deep breaths.

    Five minutes
  3. The oil resting among plants while it soaks in

    Leave in

    An hour, or overnight while you sleep.

    An hour, or overnight
  4. The oil and a scalp massager at the water's edge

    Wash out

    A gentle shampoo, and the softness stays.

    Your usual wash

The oil itself

Cold-pressed, and nothing else

Whole botanicals, pressed slowly and bottled the same week

Amla, hibiscus and bhringraj steeped into cold-pressed carrier oils, with no silicones, no mineral oil and no fragrance standing in for the plants. Light enough to leave in overnight, so the lengths end up soft rather than weighed down.
