Dr Nambi analysed 100 popular Indian shampoos and found that:

  • 9 out of 10 contain harmful chemicals identified in the Dirty Dozen list
  • 14% contain ingredients that have been banned in the European Union due to safety concerns 

In fact, only 3% are made from all-natural sources!


This is why Ayushoveda Gentle Natural Shampoo has been designed with safety in mind and is made from 100% natural sources.

 

Harsh shampoos cause problems because they harm hair roots and cause other health issues - and chemical based ones are the worst offenders. The 100 shampoo analysis was based on the well known "Dirty Dozen Ingredients to Avoid" list by famous Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki.


In addition, examining specific ingredients, our analysis found:

  • Ayurvedic (74%) and Herbal (87%) shampoos also have "Dirty Dozen" chemicals
  • Even shampoos for babies have "Dirty Dozen" chemicals

Dry scalp and frizzy hair, according to Ayurveda, happens when your kapha dosha drops and unbalances your scalp.

If you have dry hair and scalp, it is important to provide more continous nourishment to the scalp.

This is what the Hair Nourishing Elixir does. It is light-weight, non-greasy - with both dosha balancing and hourishing ingredients. It improves kapha, and provide all-day nourishment to your scalp. The elixir reduces dryness of the scalp and makes your hair feel smooth and stylish.

All shampoos, even the most natural ones, will upset kapha. Therefore, someone with an inclination for dry scalp or frizzy hair should immediately rebalance the scalp after shampooing.

If you have dry hair, you should use it overnight and won't need to wash it off with a shampoo. Also you can use it when travelling or in case you forget to sometimes use the Hair Growth Oil.

The Gentle Natural Shampoo

Shampooing after the oil is optional. But if you use a shampoo, use a mild one, made from natural ingredients like the Gentle Natural Shampoo. It it one of the few shampoos in India made 100% from natural sources

The Hair Nourishing Elixir

The Hair Nourishing Elixir replenishes your natural oils and provides continuous nourishment. Add a few drops directly to the scalp, massage gently and spread over your hair.

The elixir is beneficial in three instances:

1. Most valuable for dry scalp or hair. Use overnight, for moisturizing nourishment. Since the Elixir is lightweight and non-greasy, you won't need wash your hair the next morning.

2. For all types of hair. Apply after shower when you hair is dry. This provides all-day nourishment and style.  

3. As a substitute for your natural scalp oils once in a while, for eg travelling or if you forgot to use the Two-Oils.


The shampoo and elixir provide the ideal post-oiling routine - and ensure you don't lose the benefit from the Two Oils.

Why is Ayushoveda a complete hair care system?

In order to be a complete long term solution for great hair – any routine has to do four critical things. 1) Improve scalp health, 2) provide deep nourishment, 3) reduce scalp imbalances and 4) provide all day nourishment & protection

  • The Two-Oils are perfect to remove scalp buildup, and dosha balance the scalp to make it healthier - so that Amla, Bhringaraj, etc can deep nourish the hair roots.

  • However, a bad shampoo will destroy all the benefits from the Two-Oils if a heavy foaming action strips all the natural nutrients from the scalp, lowers Kapha dramatically and causes heavy scalp imbalance. Hence a gentle, natural shapoo is critical – to wash the hair clean, and reduce such dosha imbalances.

  • After shampooing, just a few drops of the hair nourishing elixir will rebalance the scalp and provide all day nourishment, protection and style.

Because the Ayushoveda routine improves scalp health, provides deep nourishment and reduces ongoing scalp imbalances we call it a complete long term solution for great hear.

Why dosha balancing?

Ayurveda says that a healthy, dosha balanced scalp is essential for the hair to receive nourishment and grow healthy. And a healthy dosha balanced scalp solves all hair issues, including hair fall, thinning hair, dry or frizy hair.

However, the modern scalp is much more unhealthier (in Ayurvedic terms dosha imbalanced), than in your grandma’s days.

Higher Vata, Pitta and a volatile Kapha cause most of hair issues. And this imbalance causes hair roots to be weak, not get or even absorb the nourishment they need. This also makes hair strands go through their lifecycle and die faster, etc.

Most hair oils do not include herbs like Sariba, Manjishta, Vacha, Yasti, Aswagandha & Satavari etc. Dr Nambi specifically formulated the hair growth oil with these powerful dosha balancing herbs to reduce scalp imbalances. These herbs complement and make the hair growth ingredients such as Amla, Bhringaraj, Brahmi much more effective.

This unique combination of both hair nourishing and dosha balancing herbs are what makes the Two-Oils better than a single oil in improving your hair.

Two-Oils: The Ayurvedic Science

The root cause of poor hair quality, including hair fall, is dosha imbalance of the scalp – which makes your scalp unhealthy. This hair problem is called Khalitya in classical Ayurveda texts, and is to due to imbalanced Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

The Science of Dosha Balance™

Let's take Kapha dosha as an example. Kapha manages the nutrients on your scalp.

If Kapha dosha is too low, then there isn't enough nutrition reaching the hair roots. It behaves like a clogged pipe.

However, if Kapha dosha is too high, there is congestion. And that prevents nutrition from being absorbed by the hair roots. This behaves like a non-stick pan.

The result of this dosha imbalance is your hair roots are starved of nutrition - even if you provide the most nutritious oils, the hair roots simply cannot use it.

The dosha balancing, Two-Oil routine contains specific ingredients to balance the three doshas on your scalp – so nutrition can be effectively absorbed by hair roots.

A healthy balanced scalp = healthy roots & healthy hair.

With consistent use, the Two-Oils will improve scalp balance and health. And this will address issues like hair loss, and improve hair volume, shine & quality.

Healthy Scalp = Healthy Roots & Healthy Hair.

Here is how the Two Oils work together to get you hair you will love:

Oil 1: Scalp Prep Oil

  • Scalp buildup prevents nutrition from reaching hair roots. This buildup is caused by dandruff, pollution, shampoo/chemical residue etc.

  • Oil 1 (Scalp Prep Oil) removes scalp buildup, so Oil 2 (Hair Growth Oil) can balance & nourish


Oil 2: Hair Growth Oil

Balance & Nourish

  • Dosha balancing ingredients (Manjistha, Ashwangandha, Satavari etc.) improve scalp health so roots can absorb nutrition better

  • Powerful Ayurvedic hair growth ingredients (Bhringraj, Brahmi, Amla etc.) deep nourishes hair roots.

In my experience, an unhealthy scalp has two components

  • Clogging of hair follicles

  • Weak roots

First reaction to clogging is to use heavy foaming shampoos. Be patient. I’ll tell you why that is a bad idea.

Visible : Most common clogger is dandruff. Pollution and dust can cause grime which blocks the hair follicles - preventing nutrition absorbtion. 

Invisible : There are multiple studies that talk about scalp build-up or residue left by the chemical bases of hair care products. Many of the ‘so-called’ Ayurvedic shampoos and conditioners are actually extracts infused into chemical bases. Residue is invisible because they are so small, but large enough to clog follicles. 

So, is using heavy foaming shampoos to remove the clogging a good idea?

Why clean & prep scalp?

Today's scalp is not as healthy as in the past – such as when your grandma was using it. Dandruff, pollution, harsh water, chemical products, temperature fluctuations due to AC, dandruff etc creates unhealthy buildup on your scalp. This buildup is a barrier that prevents nourishment from reaching your hair roots.

Take farming as an example. A good farmer always prepares the field by tilling etc before planting the crops. This enables nutrition to reach the plant roots. But if the soil itself is unhealthy it doesn’t matter what you do, the plants will remain unhealthy. 

This is why just providing nutrition to the hair roots is not enough - one has to make sure the nutrition can reach the roots AND be absorbed. This is the optimal way to get to healthy, shiny hair - and reduce hair fall.

A healthy scalp can solve multiple types of hair issues – whether it is hair fall, thinning hair, dandruff/itchiness, dry/frizzy hair or damaged hair due to heat and chemical tratments. 

This true Ayurvedic approach is why my Two-Oil routine is better than using a single hair oil.

A healthy scalp can solve multiple types of hair issues – whether it is hair fall, thinning hair, dandruff/itchiness, dry/frizzy hair or damaged hair due to heat and chemical tratments. 

This true Ayurvedic approach is why my Two-Oil routine is better than using a single hair oil.

Starter Kits - What to expect

The Two-Oil Starter kits last for about six weeks, with normal usage. In order to quantify the results, we surveyed around 400 people who used the Two-Oils consistently 3x weekly for a six week period. We received about 80 responses about their experience:

  • 80% reported that hair fall has reduced and 48% said reduced a lot.
  • 90% reported that scalp health (dandruff etc) has improved and 65% said improved a lot.
  • 85% reported that hair quality has improved and 50% said improved a lot.
  • 92% reported that the process (3x weekly and 45 minutes) was convenient and 50% said very convenient.
  • 26% even reported seeing new hair shoots growing - this is very good to hear! For most people new hair starts to show from 3-4 months.
After the six week period, you can maintain your hair health and continue to improve it with a 2x weekly routine. Best wishes in your hair care journey!
