Rituals
The four-step Ayurvedic hair ritual — the way it has been practised in our family for four generations.
The Avanya Ritual
- Step 1
Warm the oil
Take a little Keshavardhan Plus Oil or Keshrasayan Oil and warm it between your palms. Never heat it until hot.
- Step 2
Apply to the scalp
Part the hair in sections and apply the oil along each parting, straight onto the scalp. The lengths need only what is left on your hands.
- Step 3
Champi — the oil massage
Massage with the fingertips, never the nails, in slow circles from the hairline to the crown for 10 minutes.
- Step 4
Leave it on, then wash
Leave overnight, or at least an hour. Wash with your usual mild shampoo and lukewarm water. Repeat twice a week.
Small Habits, Lasting Results
Consistency over quantity
Twice a week, every week, does more than an intensive treatment once a month.
Warm, never hot
Hot water strips the scalp. Lukewarm keeps the natural oils where they belong.
Massage matters
Ten slow minutes of champi improves circulation to the roots — do not rush it.
Let it air dry
Heat styling undoes the work. Pat dry with a soft cotton cloth instead of rubbing.
