Oiling hair is a ritual that's core to the Indian beauty culture. For ages, grandma's secret recipe is preserving our luscious locks but now the onus of playing the white knight lies ahead upon us. In a fast-paced world, we are not giving hair care the priority it deserves. Rushed and modern routines can be great — tons of activities to do, late-night food spots, and total convenience — but it could also be taking a toll on you and your hair. Premature greying and other hair concerns usually makes us buy packaged products that promise wonders but the truth is that commercial products are supposed to help but they just don’t. What is the safe escape then? You may ask. Befriending with nature would be the best bet in this case. Instead of going for instant treatment, it’s wise to devote some time to the health of your hair. And for that, we can’t think of many things better than the good old hair oil.

While everyone these days is talking about slow fashion and slow food, we are wondering why not slow beauty? Let’s take a trip down memory lane, try and recall the times when at the end of any summer our grandmother used to massage our hair from the naturally formulated hair oils. As we are discovering many more tried and- tested natural secrets, we are trying to find our way back to roots and learn to live in tandem with nature.
