4 Easy-peasy Tricks to Tame
Dry, Damaged Hair that Just Won’t Listen
You have taken enough hair spa sessions and used all those paraben-free shampoos and used all those treatments for softening your hair and to undo the damage that your hair’s gone through. And yet, it doesn’t just get okay – you've GOT to visit the salon for the hair spa again and then again. Possibly, to make things worse, a scratchy, messy scalp forces you to use scalp-cleansing products that further dry your strands too.
Do you still see days where you wished your hair felt softer in his hands, slipping through his fingers just like in the movies and shone like it had light-reflectors in each strand and you didn’t have to cut your electricity bills just to pay for those treatments that would get these results for you (or not.)?
Worry not, the dry-damaged hair story is old, and the ultimate, long-term, harmless, 100% natural solution to it is also old, in fact, ancient.
We dug into ancient Ayurveda books and brought you these 4 things you could do to get back that sparkling clean scalp and ultra-soft yet lush, bouncy hair 100% naturally.
1. Blend Coconut and Sesame Oil: Of course, you knew Coconut Oil was great for hair, but did you know that when it is blended with Sesame Oil, a whole new dimension of benefits is introduced to your hair?! Not only does Sesame Oil make the oil blend lighter, less sticky and reduces the overpowering coconutty aroma, its own property of delivering superlative moisture wherever it is used (be it skin or hair) fortifies the blend with double the power.
2. Use Specific Hair Herbs for Powerful Results: Use these 5 specific herbs for hair to see faster results: Ayurveda (The ancient Indian science of life and well-being and the sister science of Yoga) has a whole list of hair-friendly herbs that can give you heavenly hair 100% naturally! But everyone knows about some common herbs, let's dig into some special ones in this article that would address the specific concerns of a messed-up scalp and a roughed-up mane:
a. Green Chiretta (Andrographis Paniculata)
Also known as kiratikta in Sanskrit, the herb’s goodness is mainly extracted from its root which does wonders when brewed in hair oils. It improves the texture of hair and scalp along with a soothing, caring touch.
Chiretta is an Ayurvedic and Kapha-Pitta balancing herb. Kapha Dosha takes the elements of earth + water and can cause passiveness and complacence while Pitta Dosha contains fire + water and is responsible for high temperaments and anger.
b. Vetiver Grass (Vetiveria zizanioides)
The herb has a green needle-like appearance and is found sitting in many ancient Ayurvedic texts for a wide variety of benefits from hair to skin to body. For hair, the revered herb is used to calm an apoplectic, coarse scalp. It is also instrumental in soothing and cleansing the dirt out of greasy tresses.
Vetiver is not just a mighty herb for supporting hair health but also has a pleasant fragrance that can help with relaxation.
c. Neem (Azadirachta indica)
In Ayurvedic scripts, every part of Neem, be it root, stem, leaves, gum, flower, seeds or seed oil, is of great significance for overall wellbeing and holistic living. In the ancient Indian texts, Neem is also said to be Sheeta, meaning a coolant that imparts relaxed, calming effect on the body. In many instances, it has also been called a natural detoxifier.
When included in hair oil infusions, Neem interacts with the pores to unclog and clean them for a smoother scalp and a cooler mind.
d. Amla (Phyllanthus emblica)
Amla is considered as one of the godliest herbs when it comes to consoling the symptoms of ageing like dull-looking hair texture, thinning and limpness. With its rejuvenating properties and revitalizing nature, it pulls back to life the hair that once fell lifeless at ageing’s behest.
When blended with other synergistic herbs like Bhringraj and applied through a hair oil, this natural coolant can make the hair waiver in glory and luster like the full-moon tides!
e. Haritaki (Terminalia chebula)
The name Haritaki carries two words in it – Harati and Takati. While Harati means 'the destroyer of emaciating symptoms', Takati means ‘the ability to make shine’. Hair oils rich in Haritaki, which is the second component of Triphala, fill the mane with the shine of a newly mined diamond.
Another fascinating quality of this arcane wonder in Ayurveda is its intelligence boosting property called Medhya. Oil infusions with such herbs don’t just care for your physical being but do a lot for your spiritual being as well!
3. Indulge in this Single Regular Ritual at Home: There are many ways of using these herbs – in a hair pack, a hair-tea/bath etc. but the best way to use these herbs is through the Ayurvedic ritual of head massage with an Ayurvedic oil. This can bring you visible results in the very first use and a good Ayurvedic oil will show even more powerful results within the first month of use. Simply warm the Ayurvedic oil, dab onto your scalp and massage the scalp. Gently coat the shaft as well. Leave on for a minimum of 30 minutes and wash it off. Do it at least 2 times a week or more, for best results.
4. Use hair oils with natural fragrances: It is common knowledge that beauty bottles often contain a dreamy fragrance that helps to uplift the mood and de-stress. But did you know what goes into creating these fragrances? Most of the time, it is chemicals, in hundreds and thousands that may crawl into your system in stealth mode. With Ayurvedic Oils, aromatherapy is all up for grabs, but not at a cost. The goodness of these rich herbs from nature spread a feeling of vitality and vigor through their ethereal scents and leave a sense of relaxed fulfillment.
5. Choose the right oil: Using a traditionally-cooked hair oil (yes, Ayurvedic oils are far from mere ‘blends’! It takes hours, sometimes days to meticulously prepare and cook an Ayurvedic oil!) that contains these ingredients can be beneficial in many ways, including:
a. Ensuring powerful, time-tested delivery of herbs directly into your pores in the best, in the most bio-available manner
b. Nourishing both the scalp and the shaft in one go
c. Building the habit of massaging your scalp which by itself improves circulation in your scalp
d. Preventing you from using these herbs incorrectly
e. Removing the problematic task of sourcing single herbs that meet the quality standards that you really should be using
We have all been tempted by the promises of a trillion hair-care products and machines, but how do we decide what works for us?
The whole idea behind iYURA is that women shouldn't have to give in to fake promises or get temporary results. Women should not have to resort to chemical hair-care that further weakens their hair or heat treatments that give you long-term damage in exchange for a few hours of what the world considers to be 'good-looking'. At iYURA, Healthy is what looks good and whatever looks good can have healthy means to it too! Women should not have to depend on machines or harmful chemicals to bring out the best of themselves.
You should be able to simplify your hair-care routine, get long-lasting, truly-deep effects and consistent results. You should also not be forced to choose a product that's not truly natural but only promises to be so.
You should also not end up getting something that may be natural but doesn't work!
That's why The Ayurveda Experience, one of the largest Ayurveda-focused websites in the US, decided to bring to you 100% natural, 100% safe Ayurvedic hair oils from iYURA that are what they say they are, and actually give powerful results!
Just 1 bottle of iYURA's oil can replace those conditioners, masks, multiple spa sessions and chemical treatments!
iYURA products come in amber glass bottles to protect the oil from direct light. But that's not all, just the packaging in which our products are sent is an amazing experience in itself!

It makes for the perfect hair oil of choice for those who like to see more hair on their head than in their brush! (Scanty hair, wiry hair, rough, tangled hair or hair lost to the towel, the floor, the comb – all of this can now possibly be a mere nightmare!)
The Ayurveda Experience, one of the largest Ayurveda-focused platforms in the US, brought together a team of Ayurveda Experts, Ph.D. scholars, research scientists, and legal experts to provide the highest quality Ayurvedic products to a modern western audience to solve their problems today, naturally and effectively.
In the US, there are either no high-quality products available, or those products do not comply with US-specific regulations and needs, or the products are only Ayurveda-inspired and not truly Ayurvedic...
Just a pinch of turmeric doesn't make something Ayurvedic - Ayurveda is a whole science that considers the quality of herbs, the way they're prepared for cooking, the temperature at which the oils must be cooked, the best methodology and procedures for cooking the oil and more...
This science has existed for years, but never before was it brought forward in the way iYURA does today.
One of the biggest mistakes that middle-aged women make, is resorting to temporary, chemical or heat based treatments that further damage the hair, weakening it and adversely affecting its-long term health with every use.
The best solution is NOT to find another 'temporary make-do', but to make your natural hair look and feel and be SO GOOD that you don't need or want to expose it to any damage anymore - and flaunt an enviable look!
iYURA products do just that - they provide a long-term, healthy solution to problems like:
• Dryness, roughness
• Frazzled shaft
• Clogging of pores
• Annoyed scalp
• Unhealthy looking texture
• Appearance of thinning, limp hair
• Greasy gunk in the hair
In early 2014, The Ayurveda Experience forayed into the space of Ayurveda especially formulated for the US through a very unique brand: iYURA.
iYURA brought the beauty of ancient culture and tradition along with the scientific principles that the science of Ayurveda was based upon in a unique way.
iYURA products stand out in a crowd of skincare products and brands not only due to the way they look, but also because of the way they make their users look! The strongest 'USP' of iYURA products is that they work!
Thousands of women across the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are totally loving using iYURA!
"BEST HAIR EXPERIENCE EVER - My hair has always been very greasy, which makes it thin. Normally, I need to wash it daily and sometimes twice a day, because it does not make it clean at night. When I applied this miracle, I massaged my scalp with a little bit of it and put some on the ends. Next day, my hair was so shiny, not greasy at all with incredible volume... I could not believe it. As the day was going, my hair was still clean and happy. Then, next day was THE SAME, I did not have to wash it. This miracle oil is balancing the PH which will make my hair stronger and beautiful!" - Christie P about Ambhring
"My New Favorite Hair Oil
I live in the desert where the dry wind blows nearly all the time. If I want to keep my hair long at 57 years old, I must constantly nourish it. I use a number of hair oils and I am always looking for the best one. My search is over! I love love love Ambhring Age Embrace Revitalizer and Hair Oil! I massage it into my scalp then slowly caress it down through my tresses. I add a little more at the ends where it is desperately needed. After leaving it on all night, it is easy to wash out in the morning - so light for being so nourishing. I am glad I purchased the two pack. I will be back for more when these bottles are gone!"
- Karen M about Ambhring Age Embrace Revitalizer
So Impressed
"I am loving this oil... It isn’t hard to wash out at all which surprised me. I was afraid I’d have to shampoo so much that I’d lose all the benefits of the oil treatment but that is not the case. My hair loss is slowing down so I’m hopeful it can be reversed.... As a bonus, this oil smells great too, not overpowering which is great, as some smells trigger an allergic reaction. Even my husband loves the scent. I don’t think I will ever be without this.
- Red B. for Rukshadi Dry Scalp and Hair Nectar
"Turn back the clock! - I am on medication and have been for 8 years. One of the side affects is hair loss, so I am always fighting to counteract this. I think I have found the best product, my hair is thick and healthy looking! I notice less hair fall and less hair in the shower!!I use the oil 10-20 minutes before I wash my hair, and if I have no appointments the next day, I will put it on overnight and wash it out in the morning!Thank you so much! I am 64 years old in January, but you would never know by my beautiful hair!"
- Kate M for Ambhring Age Embrace Revitalizer
"I recently also purchased the hair oil and have been amazed at how it has helped my hair become soft, shiny and healthy after damage done bleaching it and how this has done more for me than any professional product by far. Love and will reorder everything."
- Shea M. for Rukshadi Dry Scalp and Hair Nectar
"Best Hair Treatment
My hair has always been thin and very fine. I started using the Ambhring oil and it has made a big difference. My hair feels and looks so much more healthy. I use it 30 minutes before I wash my hair and it cannot believe the difference."
