Introduction

Haircare products are formulations designed to cleanse, nourish, and maintain healthy hair. Hair oils specifically target hair disorders like baldness, greying, hair fall, and dryness while providing nourishment. Herbal cosmetics, especially herbal hair oils, are increasingly popular due to their natural ingredients, effectiveness, and minimal side effects. Herbal hair oils promote hair growth, moisturize the scalp, and maintain the sebaceous gland function.

Common types of herbal hair oils include Amla, Coconut, Bhringraj, Jasmine, Brahmi, and Onion oils. These oils provide natural nutrients, help prevent hair loss and premature greying, hydrate the scalp, improve hair growth, prevent dandruff, add shine, and relieve stress.
