{"title":"Ayurvedic Hair Oiling","description":"\u003cp\u003eOiling the hair is one of the oldest grooming habits in South Asian homes, handed down from grandmother to grandchild. Champi, from the same Hindi root as the English word shampoo, is a slow head massage with warm oil, given on a Sunday morning or the night before hair wash day. This page gathers the oils families use for it: coconut, almond, castor, sesame and mustard oil labelled for external use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach region has its favourite. Kerala and Sri Lankan households reach for coconut oil, Punjabi and Bengali homes for mustard oil, and Tamil homes for sesame. In Tamil Nadu the Saturday oil bath, ennai kuliyal, is a weekly ritual: warm sesame oil is rubbed into the hair and over the body, left for half an hour or so, then washed off with shikakai or a mild shampoo and warm water. Almond oil is light and spreads easily, while castor oil is thick, so many people stir a spoon of it into a thinner oil. Our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hair-oils\"\u003ehair oils\u003c\/a\u003e shelf holds blended and scented oils as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mustard oils and castor oils on this page are sold for external use on the hair and body only.

Part the hair into sections, work the oil into the scalp with your fingertips, then down the lengths. Leave it in for an hour, or overnight with an old towel over the pillow, and wash it out with two rounds of shampoo. Keep bottles capped and out of sunlight; coconut oil sets solid in a cold British winter and melts again when the bottle stands in warm water.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"7ray-organic-virgin-coconut-oil-500ml","title":"7Ray Organic Virgin Coconut Oil 500ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eCold pressed in Sri Lanka from fresh coconut and sold in a glass jar, this is the grade of coconut oil you buy when you want to taste the coconut.
