The whole plant is infused into a carrier over low heat until the oil takes on its properties, which is why a good one is dark, cloudy and smells strongly of herb rather than of perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a concentrate. Used alone on a dry scalp it is heavy, slow to spread and hard to wash out. It is meant to be extended, which is what the second bottle is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVirgin Coconut Oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoconut oil is the most studied oil in hair science. Its lauric acid has a low molecular weight and a straight chain, which lets it move into the hair shaft rather than sit on it — the reason it is the oil repeatedly shown to reduce protein loss from hair, on washed, damaged and undamaged hair alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere it does two jobs at once. It carries the bhringraj across the whole scalp instead of a few patches, and it is light enough that the whole thing washes out in one go rather than three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeem Wood Comb\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe comb is not a free gift. Oil poured onto a scalp sits where it lands; the comb is what moves it along every parting and down the length. Neem wood generates no static, so hair is not lifted and roughened the way a plastic comb roughens it, and wide teeth pass through oiled hair without the snagging that causes breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Ritual\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarm the coconut oil\u003c\/strong\u003e — stand the bottle in hot water for a few minutes.

It suits every hair type. Fine hair should use the lower end of the bhringraj range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a gift it needs nothing added.

But bhringraj on its own is the part most people get wrong — it goes on neat, it is heavy, it will not wash out, and the bottle gets abandoned. The set exists because the carrier and the comb are what make the herb usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 15ml of bhringraj enough?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 10 to 15 drops per oiling, yes — roughly 20 to 30 applications, which is about three months at twice a week. The coconut oil is the one you will finish first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the coconut oil for anything else?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. It is ordinary cold pressed virgin coconut oil — skin, body, cooking. Nothing has been added to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe coconut oil has gone solid. Is it spoiled?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Virgin coconut oil sets below about 24°C, so it will be solid through a north Indian winter. Stand the bottle in warm water and it returns to liquid with nothing lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I leave the oil in overnight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, and it is slightly better for dry hair. Do not leave it for days — past about twelve hours there is no further benefit, and oil sitting on a scalp attracts dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill oiling make my hair fall more?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. What comes away on an oiling day is hair that had already shed, released by the massage and the comb. It was coming out anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I wash the comb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWipe it with a dry cloth after each use. If it needs more, a quick wash with mild soap and an immediate dry — wood should not be left to soak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bhringraj Oil 15ml · Virgin Coconut Oil 100ml · Neem Wood Comb · Drawstring pouch\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e All hair types\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–15 drops of bhringraj in 2 tsp warm coconut oil.
