Macerations – the mixtures of natural oils and Ayurvedic (Eastern medicine and philosophy) herbs – have been known to Hindu women for ages. Bhringraj (Eclipta Alba) is among the most popular herbs found in Ayurvedic blends for hair growth.

There is a reason why bhringraj is called “king of hair”. The plant of wonderful qualities is known throughout Asia where women say that bhringraj juice plus a natural oil (e.g. coconut, sesame or any other oil that has protective power) is an infallible remedy for hair greying. Japanese women say that they condition their black hair with bhringraj and oiling with natural oils. As a result, their hair colour does not fade due to the sunlight and their hair turns grey when they are much older. Bhringraj oil is used to stimulate hair growth and hinder falling out thanks to enhancing melanin that is responsible for hair colour and strength.

That is why many Ayurvedic products available on the market contain bhringraj extract. You should be aware that the powdered bhringraj must be blended with natural oils in order to deliver any effects. Why? Natural oils have the ability to penetrate your hair, enhance hair bulbs, stimulate blood flow thus encourage hair growth and hinder hair loss. The cosmetic industry is abounding in hair growth oils; their number is so huge that you must find it hard to choose the best one. The following review presents the most recommendable oils. It will help you make the right choice.

Highest-class hair growth oil which strengthens and repairs hair from follicles to ends. Nanoil hair oil is a line of 3 oils tailored to 3 hair types to give maximum effects.

Nanoil is a stunner among hair oils. It considers a fact essential for successful hair care, that is hair porosity (structure). Each of 3 Nanoils suits different hair porosity and consequently contains different, ideally-matching set of natural oils.

Each of 3 products also contains extra conditioning (liquid silk, lanoline, keratin and panthenol), shine-intensifying, keratin layer-rebuilding ingredients. The effect you get is repaired hair, improved keratin layer and fixed disulfide bonds inside hair. Nanoils also contain valuable substances which accelerate hair growth and prevent hair from falling out in excess.

Lack of Ayurvedic macerated herbs makes Nanoil preserve a nice, clear, fair-amber color and beautiful, subtle, non-irritating aroma which lingers on hair long. Another advantage of Nanoil is you don’t only have to use it for overnight scalp and hair treatment but also as a great heat-protection serum, deep conditioning fluid, smoothing emulsion, addition to lotions and conditioners, hair ends serum; apply it to dry or damp hair.

Nanoil is an all-purpose product that substitutes lots of hair care and repair cosmetics. This together with effects achieved within short time make it extraordinary against other hair growth products.

Sesa Oil comes in a white, plastic bottle without an applicator. Sesa “mixture” has a green color (because of Ayurvedic bhringraj and brahmi included). It gets quite runny after warming-up so you must learn to apply it to scalp and hair. The aroma is… bad and lingers on hair long.

Sesa is a blend of natural oils, herbs, milk proteins and neem extract – known in India for ages as a natural hair growth booster (fun fact: neem trees are still used for production of combs that help strengthen hair, stimulate growth and prevent hair loss).
