Kumarika Herbal Hair Oil for DRY and DAMAGED HAIR: To the RESCUE

This product has been on my review list like forever, but somehow I never got a chance to write about Kumarika Hair Oil, MY SAVIOUR!

Haha Yes, you read that right, my hair Saviour indeed. Here is something you need to know, for the past 10 or more years, I've used every Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave on available in the Country. 

Tresseme is the only brand that I've not used so far. The rest, tried and tested.

Though 75% of the brands promises soft silky smooth tangle free hair, well, hear me out, none of them work. WHY? Cause they are a broth of chemicals in a bottle, that you put ON your scalp. None of them managed to reduce my hair volume, or to hydrate it. 

You know your hair products are good when the results stay the same until your next wash

After years of testing, I some what found a shampoo that worked well with my hair, no drastic change, but the Dove Nourishing Oil Shampoo did help reduce the dryness and made it manageable. Even the fragrance wasn't over whelming. This was my second time with the brand, and this time the results were good.

Unfortunately at that time the Nourishing Oil conditioner wasn't available in the country, so I had to use the Intensive Repair, and all was good.

Fast forward 8 months later, One not so fine day, I just started losing thick strands of hair. My hair just hung limp, dead, split, and when I comb through, I'd lose at least 10 times more than the usual.

I've never experienced hair fall before this incident, I panicked, tried to stop thinking about it, but then when strands started to come off every time I touch the bottom of my hair, that was my cue.

First things first, completely stopped using shampoo and conditioner, cause they were the only hair products which I used at the time. 

Then all I did was look for a 100%  herbal hair product. Shampoos and conditioners were not even an option, and all I was left was with Hair Oil as an option.

I found the Kumarika Hair Oil, and purchased it right away after reading the ingredients at the back. Anyone born in Sri Lanka or India, most definitely knows the benefits of Coconut, Aloe Vera, Centella and Mukunuwenna  for hair.

But just to be on the safe side, I purchased the smallest bottle available. Been 2 years now, best decision ever.

Read on to find out my hair experience with Kumarika Hair Oil, and to know how I use it on a daily basis.

My Experience with the Product

I used the product before a shower, and whenever I felt like it, a regular scalp massage with oil is a quite essential tip in Hair care. And this was all I used, no other products or medication. 

After 2 weeks of use, my hair fall completely stopped, and within the next 1 to 2 months, my hair got back its shine, no limp hair, no loose hair hanging by the ends, or major split ends.

After months of using the oil only, I gradually got back to a mild herbal shampoo and conditioner with less silicons in it, which I stopped six months ago.

Now I've got healthy curls, thanks to 3 current products, Kumarika Herbal Hair Oil, African Black Soap and Spa Ceylon Neroli Jasmine Conditioner.  (You can read my review for the latter here)

I can't lie that I've zero frizz, cause you can never be frizz free, its there, just a little.

How I use the product

01. Oil Treatment: Usually 30 mins before a shower, I massage the scalp with the oil, you can also warm the oil a little and apply. The best way to get oil directly on to the scalp is to part your hair in places, and pour directly from the bottle, the nozzle is such that only drops of the oil dispenses.

02. As a Leave On Conditioner: I do the oil treatment once a week, so on other days I take a shower, I use 3 drops of the oil as a leave on/in conditioner. It reduces the frizz, gives a shine, and adds moisture.

For Best Results, use very less oil, and avoid the scalp area

03. Before Bed: Every other day between showers, I apply the oil before bed, but this time not for the scalp or crown, but below the pony tail line, focusing mainly on the ends. But again, don't overdo the oil, a few drops would do.

For easier application for 02 and 03: Store the oil in a small spray bottle and use it as a oil mist.
