Indulekha Bringha Oil is an Ayurvedic formula that has been widely advertised to be a medicine for hair growth, prevention of hair fall and premature graying.
It comes in a 100 ml. plastic bottle that is priced at Rs. 432. I was surprised to see that there are loads of people who are buying and trying it despite such a steep price tag.
Indulekha Bringha Oil claims to be a safe, healthy and completely natural remedy for controlling the rate of hair loss. It is suggested for all three stages of Hair Care referred in Ayurveda namely ‘Kesavardhanam’ or hair growth, ‘Kesapathasamanam’ or prevention of hair loss, and ‘Palitam’ or prevention of premature graying. It is enriched with herb such as bhringharaj, amla, aloe vera, and neem steeped in virgin coconut oil.
For the first week I used the oil as per the instructions. I applied a capful of Indulekha Bringha Oil to my hair every night, massaged it well into the scalp, and followed it up with a gentle wash every morning. However, once you are through the first week, you can use it in place of your regular oil an hour before your hair wash – be it every alternate day or two days a week.
Though I experienced a lot of hair fall while washing my hair every day in the first week, it subsided a bit later on. After week one, I made sure that I apply a substantial amount of oil to my hair before each wash. I massaged my scalp really well for about 15-20 minutes in order to revitalize the roots and left it to soak for an hour. It needs a mild shampoo to be washed off completely even during the last rinse.
Though I found the hair fall to be reducing slightly, my hair has not gained extra length. One of my bald friends used it for 7-8 months to see whether it can regrow lost hairs but it didn't worked at all on a bald patch or someone suffering from aloepecia.
