About This Test

Hair oils are cosmetic formulations that nourish the scalp, strengthen hair roots, and enhance hair texture and shine. They help prevent dryness, reduce hair fall, and improve scalp health.

Types of Hair Oils:

Vegetable-based Oils: Derived from natural sources like coconut, amla, almond, castor, or sesame; rich in nutrients and ideal for regular use.
Mineral-based Oils: Processed from petroleum derivatives; lightweight and often used in cosmetic formulations.
Herbal Oils: Infused with extracts like bhringraj, neem, or brahmi for added therapeutic benefits.
Blended Oils: Combine natural and mineral oils with added fragrances, vitamins, or actives for enhanced performance.

Each type offers unique benefits, catering to different hair care needs and preferences.
