Hair Care

How the Kerala hair routine works

If you are new to this, begin with the oil and keep the routine to once or twice a week. Give any hair routine a full two to three months before judging it — hair simply does not respond faster than that.

Build the routine in order

1. 1. The oil — Classical medicated hair oils, worked into the scalp and left on as the label directs.
2. 2. The wash — Herbal shampoos formulated to clean thoroughly without stripping the oil routine.
3. 3. Give it time — Two to three months of a consistent weekly routine before you judge the result.

Always read the label and directions on the pack you receive, and speak with your physician before starting anything new — particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, managing a health condition or taking prescription medicine.
