  • Himalaya Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil Review

    11.27.2011

    Himalaya Herbals Dandruff Hair Oil

    My dandruff is going crazy atm. I've tried so many types of shampoo now, I'm beginning to give up. Maybe I should go back to using Kiehl's Dandruff Shampoo, that really control my dandruff for a while but it made my hair really dry so I didn't like that part. Well all dandruff shampoos make our hair dry because of the ingredients used to combat the dandruff. I found this Himalaya Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil in my bathroom today. I didn't know it was new until I try to use it.

    putting the dandruff hair oil to test
    (the Malaysian packaging look different from the States)

    Frustrating, I spend like more than 5 mins trying to get it to open. The cap is fine but the inside? there's a plastic stopper where you have to pierce through so that the liquid could come out. Mind you the tiny hole in that part, you gotta be kidding me. Where on earth can I find something thicker than a needle point but not too thick like chopsticks to go in? In the end, I kinda destroyed the plastic stopper using chopsticks. Messy.


    always read the product directions b4 using

    Finally the oil is coming out. Smells like baby oil and it's not greasy like cooking oil or body oil. It's a light weight herbal oil that's not sticky with Tea Tree Oil (anti-bacteria) and Neem (anti dandruff action) to clear the dandruff flakes from hair. Sweet Indrajao keeps the hair cool and Rosemary keeps hair healthy. That's the 4 main ingredients of this Dandruff Hair Oil that will help clear your dandruff away. Here's a quick tour on the ingredients:
    • Sweet Indrajao (Wrightia tinctoria) for treating various scalp and skin disorders.
    • Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) to treat dandruff and other scalp infections
    • Tea Tree (Melaleuca leucadendron) has antibacterial, anti fungal, antiseptic & anti dandruff properties.
    • Neem (Azadirachta indica) has an anti dandruff action

    other benefits of using hair oil

    My hair is oily now and I look like this swim suit model just fresh from the waters. Definitely cannot go out unless I look sexy with this kinda image. Some parts of my scalp is itchy after applying the oil. I do hope it's because of the Tea Tree Oil "functioning".  Feels uncomfortable having oil all over my head. Shall be waiting to wash it off after an hour or two to see if there's any improvement on first trial basis.

    After 3 hours:
    I washed my hair with Himalaya's Dandruff Shampoo and the dandruff has cleared away a bit. The flakes are gone and I think if you don't put effort on massaging your scalp with the dandruff hair oil, then no use - COZ it's with the circular massaging movements that will rub the oil onto your scalp and clear the dandruff flakes away. Well this is my first trial and I will use this again probably once or twice a week (not daily coz it's oily and takes a bit of washing to clear off, my hair still feels weight down. I'm not complaining though coz it makes my hair softer and shinier due to the oil). 

    What Is It For?
    Anti-Drandruff Hair Oil prevents dandruff by eliminating microbial infections of the scalp. 

    Who Is It For?
    For people like me who has dandruff issues, especially flaky ones.

    Why Should I Use?
    Himalaya Herbals is a range of natural, effective and safe products that use rare herbs carefully selected from the foothills of Himalayas. Combining the best of Ayurveda with years of scientific research, these products effectively restore your hair's natural health and vitality.

    How To Use?
    Simple as ABC. I didn't bother to read how to use. I assumed oil massaged on scalp (to stage war on the pesky dandruff) and then leave it be and wash it off with shampoo. Which is true! here's what Himalaya says about how to use it:
    1. Part your hair and apply oil all over the scalp
    2. Massage the scalp gently with fingers in a circular motion, so that oil gets absorbed into the scalp, gradually
    3. Leave for an hour or more before washing with Himalaya Herbal Cleansing/Dandruff Shampoo
    Where To Buy?
    Himalaya Herbals Dandruff Hair Oil  200ml available at all leading pharmacies and Himalaya stores. Price unknown as I bought it some time ago lol! but generally Himalaya Herbals products are affordable ranging from RM10-RM20++.

    12. It has a lot of interesting ingredients. I like tea tree oil in cosmetics. It really does seem to have a beneficial effect on the skin, whether it is used on the scalp or other areas of skin. The neem is a nice ingredient as well.
