SOAK IN THE BENEFITS OF A HEAD MASSAGE
Massaging an herbal oil into the scalp is a traditional Ayurvedic practice that has been used for hundreds of years to maintain lustrous, vibrant hair. Gently massaging the head stimulates the hair follicles and allows the deeply nourishing herbal oil to penetrate the scalp, promoting healthy hair at the roots while it soothes and supports a healthy scalp and hydrates the hair.

Healthy Hair Oil Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Healthy Hair Oil and Hair Serum?
Both herbal blends have some similarities, including several of the same ingredients (bhringaraj, amla, sesame). They are also made in-house in small batches, according to Ayurvedic traditions, and they have some overlapping benefits, including supporting a healthy scalp and hair. However, they work in different ways and provide different benefits.
Healthy Hair Oil is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal oil. It is heavier, with an earthy herbal aroma. Deeply hydrating and nourishing, it is designed to support dry scalp and hair, and it is an excellent standalone product for deep hair treatments and scalp massage. Hair Serum is an oil-based serum that is lighter in texture and color. It also absorbs faster and was developed for daily use, specifically to support a healthy scalp and promote hair growth, and it can also be used as a styling serum. You can use both products for well-rounded hair care.
How does Healthy Hair Oil work?
Healthy Hair Oil is a unique oil that is unlike other products on the market. The formula may seem simple—with two base oils and five herbs—but the Ayurvedic process of slow infusing the herbs into the base oils makes a deeply hydrating and nourishing hair oil. Here's a glance at what the herbs have to offer:
- Bhringaraj (Eclipta alba), known in Ayurveda as the "ruler of the hair," is a cooling herb with a long history of use in supporting healthy hair growth, color, and luster.
- Amla (Phyllanthus emblica) is a superfood and natural source of antioxidants. Studies show it can help protect the hair from oxidative stress and may help support collagen production, which is essential to hair structure.
- Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) has been traditionally used to support a healthy scalp and strong hair, while gotu kola (Centella asiatica) and cabbage rose (Rosa x centifolia) soothe and nourish the scalp.
Can Healthy Hair Oil be used on all hair types? (Straight, fine, thick, curly, dry, oily, etc.)
Yes, Healthy Hair Oil can be used on all hair types to nourish the scalp and hair and lock in hydration. If you have fine hair or a naturally oily scalp, the oil may feel especially heavy. A weekly hair mask is likely enough, and opt to use a small amount of oil. You can experiment with the length of time you leave it in—30 minutes to an hour may be plenty—and when it's time to wash it out, be sure to apply shampoo to your hair before you get it wet.
If you have dry hair and a dry scalp, you may benefit from using it several times a week, and you can experiment with leaving it in for longer to support deep hydration—try for at least an hour, or even overnight (just protect your linens as the oil can stain).
Will Healthy Hair Oil make my hair greasy? How do I wash it out?
Healthy Hair Oil will make the hair oily, thanks to its deeply nourishing and lubricating ingredients. Depending on your hair type and how much oil you use, you will experience this to a greater or lesser degree. The oil is intended to be washed out after use.
For best results, we recommend applying a gentle shampoo to dry hair and scrubbing first, then rinsing well to remove the shampoo and oil. Repeat if necessary. For more, here's an article on getting oil out of your hair.
Will Healthy Hair Oil darken my light colored hair?
While this certainly doesn't happen to everyone with light colored hair, on occasion, some people with naturally light hair will notice a subtle darkening from the oil. This is thanks to bhringaraj, which is known in Ayurveda to support hair health, color, and luster. We recommend starting with the smallest bottle of Healthy Hair Oil to make sure it is a good fit for you.
Is Healthy Hair Oil okay to use on color-treated hair?
For most, color treated hair will not be affected when using Healthy Hair Oil weekly, or several times a week. That said, we recommend starting with the smallest bottle of Healthy Hair Oil and do a patch test to make sure it is a good fit.
Can I use Healthy Hair Oil on my beard and moustache?
Yes, Healthy Hair Oil is safe to use on the whole body, including the beard, moustache, eyebrows, and lashes. Be careful to keep the oil out of your eyes.

Customers said this oil 'leaves hair soft and super healthy' with improved moisture, shine, and texture. Many reported thicker, stronger hair and reduced frizz. Some noted the scent is strong or 'smelly', though opinions vary. A few mentioned the pump dispenser can malfunction and the oil may be difficult to wash out, requiring multiple shampoos. Results for hair growth are mixed.
- Leaves my hair soft and super healthy!
- My hair seems thicker, yet light and shiny.
- My secret weapon for strong, healthy hair!

I really like this hair oil. It is a little "smelly", but that's tolerable because I love the results from using the product. Leaves my hair soft and super healthy! I strongly recommend
This hair oil really suits my hair, my hair is not dry anymore.
My scalp was dry and itchy. Used the Healthy Hair Oil and felt immediate relief. Continue to use it several times a week.
The only complaint I have is with the pump on the bottle. Couldn’t get it to work. Ended up taking it off and pouring oil onto my hand.
I have used the hair oil for about a month and it has a nice smell and seems to keep my hair moisterized. Unfortunately, I haven't seen improvement in hair growth.
I have been using it once a week now for three weeks. I need for time to see a difference,
have been using it with a kansa comb nightly. a peaceful ritual. pleasant, natural fragrance
Oh my stars. I just love this stuff. Again, Banyan rocks immense quality and organic herbal magic in a product. I'm new to hair oiling, and have never seen my locks look lovelier. My hair seems thicker, yet light and shiny. The very best part is that it looks like I just shampooed it for days! Never thought that could be possible. I only wash it once a week now. Usually it would get greasy and I'd wash it every other day. I think my scalp is getting the oil it needs from this weekly treatment and doesn't need to continuously seep it out any more (that's my theory, anyhow.) Great tip, Lisa: the dry shampooing (adding shampoo and lathering before adding water.)
I have found that adding a teaspoon of Dr. Bronner's castille soap to my blob of shampoo works well too. It cuts the oil without drying the hair :)
My hair is fine and damaged by sun and salt water. I put this in for an overnight treatment and found it easy to wash it. 2 shampoos to be sure. Was shocked by how shiny, soft and full my hair looked. I let it air dry and it was smooth and shiny. I feel like my hair hasn't had a shine in a long time. Super happy with the product. It also has no overwhelming smell. I bought the Healthy Hair tablets too. My hair dresser said she was amazed at how much new hair a client of hers had grown with the product. She said the woman's hair had been thinning, but when she put her hands in her hair at the roots that she could feel all the new growth. I really hope this helps me too.
My hair is thin/dry/oily and using this hair oil twice a week has TOTALLY changed and improved the health of my scalp and hair. Highly recommend!
I'm a 38 year old male. During the last few years my beard has become drier, lacking moisture and shine. After finding Healthy Hair Oil online and purchasing it I'm amazed at the results. This product is best applied after a hot shower right after the hair is DRIED. The skin absorbs it better. Leave it on overnight if possible, rinse in the morning with warm water, not SHAMPOO that will strip the skin of it's moisture.
I've gotten better results from this product as compared to Coconut oil and Argan oil. The difference with this product is the BHRINGARAJ oil, it is truly the best Herb you can use for your hair. I look forward to purchasing Healthy hair tablets
simply because of the Bhringaraj. PURCHASE this oil, it will enhance your hair's moisture, natural color, add shine and slow down the onset of Grey Hair.
Thank you, so much, Marlon, for your outstanding review. We couldn't be happier with your good experience.
Not only does this hair oil have a beautiful earthy smell, but it saved my hair from the dryness of the winter. Every time I use it, I feel a sense of warm, wet nourishment. Thx Banyan for another great product.
My scalp + hair love this oil.
This is the only oil that my hair will absorb.
Starting to let my hair go naturally gray. Noticed that it was coarser and rather frizzy as it was coming in. My friend recommended the hair oil and what a difference it has made. My ends are not as brittle, frizziness is decreasing, and hair feels smoother. I love it!!
I enjoy this product and use it every day. I live in the dry climate in the high desert of the southwest US and skin/hair require an extra touch. This product provides for my needs to allow my hair to be more manageable and presentable.
I like how this makes my hair feel after I was it.
The Banyan Healthy Hair Oil is hands down one of the best weekly self-care rituals I’ve added to my life, it’s been an absolute game changer for my hair and scalp health. In combination with the Healthy Hair Tablets, I’ve seen substantial growth and strength, even through mid-life hormone shifts, stress, and seasonal changes. My hair has grown noticeably faster, with less shedding, richer color, and an overall healthier feel. I’ve even had people comment on how quickly my hair has grown and how vibrant it looks!
Adding this Ayurvedic personal care routine alongside a clean, plant-based diet and daily exercise has truly become my secret weapon for inside-and-out beauty.
Pleasant scent. It nourishes my scalp. The texture is nice for working into scalp and hair. I only used it twice and yet my hair curls nicely and shines more. I put it on for 20 minutes as I massage my scalp. Then I shampoo it out. Looking forward to using again as I only do once a week.
Good
Winter here has been dry and so I treated my hair to your wonderful Oil. I have used it occasionally over the years but I know some more of that wonderful oil. I'm very happy with the results.
Loving this oil . . my hair was beginning to feel finer and more dry - not any more!
This hair oil is nourishing my hair and it does not feel sticky at all. It just soaks in. I have curly hair and this keeps all friz down, allowing the hair to stay curly even when it is extremely humid.
its feels amazing
my hair has more moisture bounce especially the ends that tend to dry up. my hair looks overall more balanced and cared for
assuming with characteristic skepticism, it most probably wouldn't help my "poor" rather anemic "threads" -- was pleasantly surprised the oil (left on for about an hour) - made a remarkable difference! Smoothed out the fine frizz - resulting in a "mane" with shine & luster.
am delightedly flummoxed
Beside, without hesitation, your kind customer service
immediately forwarded a replacement to a new designated work address. when I called that my package was mistakenly returned to sender by the post office.
Way-to-go - your company is right on! Many thanks, Olga
Thank you for your feedback, Olga! We're so glad the oil is feeling supportive for you.
Do far so good

* Recommended for anyone who wants to improve hair texture/health and doesn’t use hair color (semi-permanant especially)
I love this company and all that they are. I’m new to using hair oil/this technique and I can see that this product may really improve hair texture and health over time (mine was smoother/shinier after using it once overnight). However, I have colored hair — my hair is dyed darker with a Lanza semi-permanent product — and using this hair oil lightened/changed the color of my hair. I knew this may be a possibility prior to use — it’s not a big deal to me, but the change is noticeable and something to keep in mind for those with colored hair.
I purchased this product to try something new, and feeling like I should integrate all these personal wellness rituals and products into my life. However, I think for my constitution/situation/stage in my life, the hair oil is not necessary. Like the principles of Ayurveda and focus of Banyan’s articles, a balanced diet and lifestyle are the biggest factors in health, including hair health! :)
I wanted to love this oil and I almost do. It makes my hair beautiful but I cannot tolerate the scent. It smells strongly of sesame and not much else. I could tolerate it if it completely washed out but it doesn’t. I may try adding some essential oil to make it more tolerable. If you aren’t sensitive to smells buy this! But if you don’t love smelling like food or are particularly sensitive give it a pass.
My hair gets very dry, frizzy and straw-like. The healthy hair oil makes my hair feel soft and healthy looking. It also helps with kids tangles. Five stars!
Incredible product that worked wonders and smelled wonderful.
My hair has never felt as good as when I use the hair oil treatment. My hair is thick and wavy / straight texture throughout and the oil does not weigh it down, in fact quite the opposite -- it makes it lighter and very vibrant. I will be using this product again and again!!
