Himalaya Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil 100ml

Product Overview

Himalaya Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil is an effective, non-sticky hair oil designed to control dandruff, revitalize hair, and keep the scalp healthy. Rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom, this oil is enriched with a blend of potent natural ingredients known for their antifungal, antibacterial, and nourishing properties. It aims to eliminate dandruff-causing microbes, soothe scalp irritation, and strengthen hair from the roots, promoting overall hair and scalp health. The 100ml size is convenient for regular use and travel.

Key Features:

• Targeted Dandruff Control: Specifically formulated to effectively fight dandruff and prevent its recurrence by targeting the root causes.
• Scalp Health: Promotes a clean, healthy, and balanced scalp by reducing flakiness, itching, and irritation.
• Hair Revitalization: Nourishes hair from root to tip, contributing to stronger, healthier, and more vibrant hair.

• Suitable for All Hair Types: Generally safe and effective for various hair types, including those that are artificially colored or permed.
• Easy Application: Often comes with a unique comb applicator for deep penetration and easy, mess-free application directly to the scalp.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits: The effectiveness of Himalaya Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil comes from its blend of active herbal ingredients:

• Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca leucadendron): A widely recognized natural antifungal and antibacterial agent. It effectively combats Malassezia, the fungus primarily responsible for dandruff, and helps cleanse the scalp of dead cells and impurities. It also has soothing properties for an itchy scalp.
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): Known for its antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Rosemary helps in reducing excess oil on the scalp and combating fungal infections that contribute to dandruff. It also stimulates blood circulation to the scalp, which can support hair growth and improve overall hair health.
• Neem (Melia Azadirachta): A powerful antibacterial and antifungal herb. Neem helps to fight various scalp infections, including those that cause dandruff. It also deeply cleanses the scalp, removing impurities and excess oil, thus contributing to a healthy scalp environment.
• Hyamaraka (Wrightia tinctoria): Known for its properties in managing scalp health and treating scalp infections. It has antimicrobial properties that help to target bacterial and fungal issues, soothe inflammation, and reduce itching.

Side Effects

Himalaya Anti-Dandruff Hair Oil is generally well-tolerated by most individuals due to its herbal and gentle formulation. Significant side effects are rare.

However, as with any topical product, individual reactions can vary. Potential, though rare, side effects or considerations include:

• Mild Irritation/Allergic Reaction: While designed to be gentle, some individuals with extremely sensitive skin or specific allergies to ingredients like Tea Tree Oil, Rosemary, or Neem might experience mild redness, itching, burning sensation, or a rash on the scalp.
• Increased Hair Fall (Very Rare): Although the product aims to reduce hair fall linked to an unhealthy scalp, some anecdotal reports, though very uncommon and not scientifically confirmed as a direct side effect of the oil, have mentioned increased hair fall in isolated cases. This could be due to underlying hair conditions or individual sensitivities.
• Oiliness/Greasy Feel: Despite being non-sticky, if too much oil is applied or not washed out thoroughly, it might leave a slightly oily residue, especially for those with naturally oily hair.

Precautions:

• External Use Only: This product is strictly for external application on the scalp and hair.
• Avoid Eye Contact: Ensure the oil does not come into direct contact with the eyes. If it does, rinse immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water.
• Open Cuts/Wounds: Avoid applying the oil over sensitive areas, open cuts, or wounds on the scalp.
• Discontinue Use: If you experience any persistent irritation, discomfort, or adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
• Patch Test: For individuals with known allergies or very sensitive skin, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin (e.g., behind the ear or inner forearm) 24-48 hours before full application to check for any allergic reaction.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep Out of Reach of Children: Ensure the product is stored safely away from infants and children.
