Hair Oils

Hair Oils covers scalp oils, hair oils, serums in oil form and traditional oil blends — coconut, almond, argan, bhringraj, amla and mixed formulations.

What Oiling Genuinely Does

Oiling is a long tradition here and it has real benefits — they are simply not the ones usually claimed.

• Coconut oil genuinely penetrates the hair shaft and reduces protein loss during washing. That is a real, measured effect and it is unusual among oils — most simply coat.

• It reduces breakage by lowering friction during combing, tying and drying.

• It soothes a dry, tight, itchy scalp.

• It makes hair easier to detangle, which by itself saves a lot of hair.

• It does not increase growth. No oil does — growth happens in the follicle and is governed by hormones, genetics and nutrition.

Oiling Properly in This Climate

• Warm the oil slightly — comfortably warm, not hot.

• Apply along the partings to the scalp, then work through the lengths.

• Massage with fingertips for two or three minutes, never with nails.

• One to two hours before washing is enough. Overnight is traditional and, in Bangladeshi humidity, often counterproductive.

• Wash it out properly. Oil left sitting on the scalp clogs follicles and attracts dust.

• Once or twice a week.

When Oiling Makes Things Worse

• If you have dandruff, go easy. Dandruff is a reaction to a yeast that feeds on scalp oil. Heavy oiling for days at a time is a common cause of a flare, and this is the single most useful correction in the category.

• An oily scalp does not need more oil. Oil the lengths, not the roots.

• Do not oil hair and then tie it tightly — wet, oiled hair is at its most fragile.

• Never comb heavily oiled wet hair.

Genuine Products

Much of this catalogue is imported, and imported shelves are where fakes and repacks appear. Whoever you buy from, these are worth checking:

• The seal. An intact shrink wrap or safety ring is what tells you a product has not been opened.

• The batch number and expiry printed on the pack itself, not on a sticker over it. A sticker covering the original printing is the commonest sign of a repack.

• A price far below everyone else’s is information — sometimes a genuine clearance, often a fake or something close to expiry.

If what arrives does not match its listing, tell us. We would rather take a return than leave a wrong description standing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does hair oil make hair grow faster?

No. It reduces breakage, so you keep more of the length you already grow — which looks like faster growth and is genuinely worthwhile. Growth rate itself is not affected.

Should I leave oil in overnight?

One to two hours is enough for the benefit. Overnight in this climate encourages dandruff and clogged follicles, particularly on an oily or flaky scalp.

Which oil is best?

Coconut has the best evidence for reducing protein loss. Argan and almond are lighter and better for the lengths of fine hair. The best oil is the one that suits your scalp and does not make you flake.

How do I know the product is genuine?

Check the seal, the batch number and the expiry printed on the pack itself rather than on a sticker over it. Everything we sell is sourced to arrive sealed and within date, and if what you receive does not match the listing we will put it right.

How much shelf life will it have?

We stock to arrive well within date and do not knowingly ship anything close to expiry. If you need a specific minimum for a particular order, ask before placing it and we will check the batch.
