Mums to be may notice their hair is drier than normal, brittle, lacking in lustre and in need of a boost – at this special time in a woman’s life extra care is needed to keep it strong, shiny and healthy. OmVeda recommends a traditional Ayurvedic hair routine, which includes a weekly head massage, using the purest of ingredients to return vitality to the hair by stimulating and nourishing hair follicles (which are responsible for the growth of the hair).

The OmVeda line of hair care products are Ayurvedic foods for the hair that contain only genuine Ayurvedic herbs formulated from organically grown leaves, flowers, bark and naturally occurring minerals that are pure and natural, bringing to the hair its own perfect balance and health through correct cleansing, nourishment and protection.

OmVeda’s specialized products do not disturb the delicate ph balance and contain no harmful chemicals. Their properties invigorate lifeless hair and rebuild neglect and damage ensuring natural health, long time resilience and a lustrous shine while at the same time, improving the health of the scalp, which in turn improves the condition of the hair.

In the true Ayurvedic tradition the hair was lavishly pampered, washed in reetha (soap nut) mixed with amla and brahmi to nourish the hair follicles; massaged with precious herbal oils, the primary oil being sesame which was infused with fenugreek, brahmi and amla, again very nourishing. Oils played a vital role in the health of the hair. At home the oil was left in the hair overnight to encourage the oil and herbs to penetrate into the follicles. Hair was washed and dried over incense so that the fragrance stayed in the hair for a number of days. It is no surprise that women and children using this traditional method had such radiant, long thick hair.
