Life & Pursuits Amla Brahmi Hair Oil, 6.8 Fl Oz – Ayurvedic Hair & Scalp Oil for Weak Roots, Dry Scalp, Hair Fall, Dry Frizzy Curly Hair & Natural Shine – Pre Wash Hair Oil for Men & Women

I really wanted to leave a review for this hair oil so it might help others. I read the reviews prior to purchase, but I was willing to put up with smell in order to forgo using anything that had potentially harmful ingredients that many other hair oils have in them. Cost was also an issue since I have long hair it goes rather quickly. This oil is a good value and has wonderful ingredients. It does have an herbal smell, hence all the lovely ingredients. I did find it off putting at first, but I have come to really enjoy it knowing how it helps. I apply this in the morning, before I exercise and then wash my hair. I massage my scalp and face first. Then I apply to the roots taking note to be generous in trouble spots. I then work the oil in pulling it down to ends. Then I place my hair up and go on to exercise. I do wash twice to make sure I don’t leave any behind, then use my conditioner. This oil really leaves my hair so soft and I have gone through 2 bottles now. 1 was larger size and 1 this smaller size. My hair is growing so nice and think and looks amazing. But it is only one pice of the puzzle. It has helped immensely with the look and strength of my hair and I am sure double teaming with the other things I have been doing I do agree with the other reviewer that your hair health does come within. This is not a cure all. I take collagen, hair skin and nails vitamins and have really cleaned up my diet making sure to have lots of protein now and lots of fresh fruits and veggies. I will say that I have been learning that we women don’t get near enough protein because we are so concerned with calories. That was me. And I was exercising fasted, which I have now learned can mess with our hormones. This is especially bad when in peri-menopause. So having a tiny bit of protein and carb right before I workout, and then a good bit of protein after, about 30- 40gm, along with some carbs has been life changing. I also make sure to eat good bit of protein at each meal and moderate carbs and healthy fats. I stop eating at about 7 pm, don’t eat until about 10 am right before my exercise. So I am still fasting, but in a way that keeps my hormones healthy. It does take many months to begin to see the changes, but I look and feel 100 times better now. I hope this helps :)

Great hair oil. Serves the purpose very well.

I have tried this product 3 times so far. For me the smell is VERY strong, makes me nauseous, and gives me a major migraine. My migraines are triggered by strong smells and thus this one is very strong. So if you’re like me, I wouldn’t use this product. HOWEVER, I will keep trying it until the bottle runs out. Since I’ve only tried it 3x, I haven’t seen any hair growth because the directions state to use the product 2-3x a week for an hour or overnight for about 3 months. I can’t stand with the smell so I haven’t been using it consecutively. The only good thing I have seen is that my hair is less frizzy and has become very soft. The ends of my hair have been previously damaged due to lots of bleach Mistakes and I can see that this oil has helped strengthen the ends.

This product is excellent. I have long, dark spiral curly hair. I purchased this product because I am vain about my hair. I love my hair and wish to continue to care for it to the best of my ability. I take a small amount and message my entire scalp and then using the praying hands method and distribute evenly all over my hair. This product does not have the greatest scent, but tolerable. The Bhringraj oil has a more pleasant scent. The sesame and coconut oils leave your hair very soft. I use it daily on my scalp, but do not apply more on the length due to possible over oiling and looking greasy. I compared photos prior to using it; my hair is fuller, shinier, and thicker. Great investment. However, I just switched over to the Bhringraj oil due to not wanting my hair to get used to a product and then not work any longer. The Bringraj oil is equally as great, and I actually think I like it better. Nonetheless, both products are amazing. Great investment.

I can’t express how much this oil has helped my hair in the past several months, excellent regrowth! But the bottle I just received smells completely different (it’s bad) and has different ingredients. I’m very disappointed and worried it won’t work as well as it has in the past. Strong weird vanilla scent but not in a pleasant way at all. Please please change back to original formula.

I wanted to write a review to reassure others who might be concerned about some of the expiration complaints in other reviews. I received a product that is very fresh, a beautiful green oil mixture (naturally colored, not like it'll stain your scalp) that clearly has a Made On date (October 2020) and an expiration date (October 2022). The product came as pictured, not with a pump (previous reviewers mentioned they didn't like the pump). The oil itself is a very nice texture - not too thick or thin. I find the scent to be very pleasant, especially considering how many beneficial, hardcore herbs are packed into this product. I used a decent amount of it this morning for a scalp massage, and i can't smell it at all as I'm walking around my house. If you're looking for something with no scent at all or a perfumey scent, maybe natural herbal products are not for you. But if you want something that is more likely to be effective, and you don't saturate your entire head in this oil expecting to not smell the herbs in it that are what makes it useful, then this is a wonderful product. I was concerned that it would smell like onions, but it doesn't; just very pleasantly herbal. As with any beauty routine, it takes time and consistency to notice results, so i don't have outlandish expectations for overnight new growth with this oil. But I'm very impressed with the packaging, price point, and ingredients. Hair care junkies know that these herbs are the real deal. So I'd day that, especially if you already do scalp massages and are looking for an oil that is more likely to give you results than your basic DIY mixtures / single-oil routine, and are into natural haircare, this is an amazing option.

This is the best hair oil that I’ve ever used in my life! I’ve tried argon oil and castor oil, but this oil right here, despite the strong smell, when I put it in my hair at night and sleep in it and then wash it out the next morning, it leaves my hair incredibly soft, it applies easily, doesn’t leave a smell or weighs down my hair, it’s amazing! The Argon oil didn’t do much for my hair, and surprisingly the castor oil was way too thick and was hard to apply to my hair and the worst part is it like dried out my hair?? Plus it made my hair look darker and weighed it down, but not this oil!! If you are on the fence just try it out. If you can stand the smell (which I’m asleep most of the time it’s even in my hair) it’s absolutely worth it!! Just bought the bigger bottle right now and will always have some on hand since I’m trying to grow out my hair and this is the best way to go!

I've gotten plenty of hair products. I have challenging hair, and most never do what they promise. lately my hair has gotten much harder to deal with. It's thinning and looking oily all the time and hard to manage. I live in an area that is not very healthy at all environment wise and I am generally kind of stressed out so I knew I needed some help to get my hair back to some kind of good. I got this stuff after reading tons of articles on it's ability to recondition your scalp. Now mind you, I have only tried it once so far (so there will be updates) but that one time has made a nice difference already! When I put it on, I did notice the strong scent everyone is talking about but it's not actually a bad smell. I left it on for a couple of hours and then took my shower as usual. My hair did feel better coming out of the shower and it was easy to comb through but I didn't put too much thought into it yet. I let my hair air dry and then went to bed. When I got up in the morning, my hair was still sikly soft and it looked lovely, not like the usual matted sticking up mess it had become. I was so happy! I styled it as usual and it felt great all day. I can't wait to see if it keeps getting better.

Excellent as it's got a very subtle smell and it's got good ingredient that doesn't harm us. I believe it's cruely free too!!!

Good

great product and doesn't make my hair look greasy

I used up my first bottle and ordered two more. My hair is now noticeably shinier and fuller, in fact can’t see my part any more after I wash and style my hair, looks very healthy and so soft and strong to the touch. I have naturally fine and frizzy hair and it’s colour treated. I was looking for a remedy to stop hair loss and breakage and this product works like magic for me. Some complaint about the smell, well it has herbal smell that is warm and soothing to me. I find it very pleasant and you can tell the product has no chemicals. Yes I am normally sensitive to smells and have allergies and reactions to chemicals. May be because this product is natural it’s very soothing to me. I highly recommend to try and you won’t be disappointed.

In today's world the original stuff is rare. But This oil is 100% original. Smells strong and hardcore original stuff. True to what is written on the bottle. Nothing fancy, very basic, but boy, it works. You will see results in Hail fall in 4-5 days of use. For the quantity, price looks justified.
