Hair care is something many of us have been obsessing over since the lockdown, given the lack of access to salons and spas. While some have been going the DIY route, others chose to invest in high-end products. But today, we’re going to introduce you to some of our favourite made-in-India hair care products. If you’re looking for strong, luscious hair–these homegrown products can definitely give your fancy international products a run for their money.
6 Indian Hair Care Products To Try
Affordable AND effective? Yes and yes.
Tribe Concepts 90 Day Miracle Hair Oil
What we really like about the Tribe Concepts 90 Day Miracle Hair Oil is that it does not contain any chemicals, which most brands selling ‘organic’ hair oils have in abundance. It contains extra virgin black sesame oil instead of the regular coconut oil as its base–which we found quite interesting. Black sesame oil is excellent when it comes to strengthening your hair follicles while promoting hair growth. Most people also claim that it helps prevent premature greying, so if you’ve been experiencing any of these issues–hair fall, balding or premature greying–we highly recommend that you give this product a shot.
How to use:
Step 1: Take the required amount of the product and apply it to your hair from scalp to the ends
Step 2: Now gently massage with your fingertips in inward, outward and circular motions for 3-5 minutes to help stimulate your hair follicles and leave it on for an hour or two
Step 3: Use a shower cap for deeper oil penetration.
Step 4: Wash off with a mild shampoo preferably organic and let it air dry
Step 5: Repeat the procedure 2-3 times a week for 3 months, for best results
Mamaearth Tea Tree Anti Dandruff Hair Mask
This brand has gained immense popularity with their range of hair masks of late, and one product we swear by is the Tea Tree Anti Dandruff Hair Mask. What loved about this mask is that it not only tames frizz/nurtures your tresses but also helps soothe a flaky scalp. If you’re looking for a mask that fights dandruff and prevents it from coming back–you need to try this out ASAP!
How to use:
Step 1: Part your hair in two halves.
Step 2: Take an adequate quantity of the hair mask on your palm and apply over your wet hair and scalp.
Step 3: Leave the mask on for approximately 15-20 minutes before washing it off using a sulfate-free shampoo.
Step 4: For best results, use 2-3 times a week.
Juicy Chemistry Sancha Inchi, Argan & Mango Butter Hair Mask
This hair mask by Juicy Chemistry is a must-have if your hair gets frizzy and unmanageable quite often! It contains Sancha Inchi oil, which is a good source of Omega 3 fatty acids. What we really liked about this mask is that it helps control oil and seals in moisture–which of course is important if you have dry hair. With multiple uses, we also noticed a slight improvement in hair growth, which is quite unusual about masks.
How to use:
Step 1: Massage it over your scalp and hair gently in gentle circular motions for 5 mins.
Step 2: Leave it on for 30 mins.
Step 3: Rinse off with a mild organic shampoo.
Step 4: Once towel dried, apply a leave-in conditioner if required.
Plum Olive & Macademia Healthy Hydration Shampoo
To begin with, we’d like to mention that this ain’t a creamy textured shampoo like most hydrating shampoos out there–it’s got a gel-like consistency. But believe it or not, it works just as fine. Also, what we really really loved about this shampoo in particular is that it does not contain sulphates. If you’ve recently coloured your hair, we would encourage you to give this a shot. The olive and macadamia oil present in this shampoo will ensure that your hair gets all the love and nourishment it needs.
How to use:
Step 1: Pump out the required amount onto wet hands and gently lather up over wet hair.
Step 2: Leave it on for 2-3 minutes and rinse well.
Step 3: Follow up with a gentle conditioner or hair mask.
Step 4: Avoid combing wet hair. If using a hairdryer, use the gentle heat and medium speed setting.
Indulgeo Essentials Gain Again Luxuriant Hair Vitalizer
This is an amazing product for people with bald patches. Just a reminder–this is not a serum or a hair oil–it is completely oil-free and needs to be applied on a clean scalp only. Do not use a lot of this product, a single pump is all you need. It promotes new hair growth and slows down the rate of hair fall. Organic products do take time, so you need to be very patient with these.
How to use:
Step 1: Shake Well, Apply approximately 2-4ml with the dropper on a clean scalp
Step 2: Leave it on for a few hours or overnight. It might cause a slight tingling sensation
Step 3: Combine it with Indulgeo gainAgain range to boost results
Enn’s Closet The Fix Milk Spray
The Enn’s Closet The Fix Milk Spray is a great alternative to hair sprays that can damage your hair over a period of time. We’ve tried it a million times and we’re still in love with it. Besides it’s repairing properties the product also helps tame frizz. Post shampoo hair tends to get a tad bit frizzy, and when it does–you apply a serum. Serums aren’t bad but they do contain chemicals, so if you’re looking for a natural alternative, give this one a chance.
How to use:
Step 1: Shake it up
Step 2: Spritz on styled hair from root to tip for easy, undone texture and enhanced hairdo
Step 3: Do not overuse the product
For best results:
Use it after shampooing your hair
Can be used before air-drying your hair
