How to wash off the hair oil?
Wait for at least 30 minutes before washing hair. Longer the delay, better (except for very oily hairs). It is best to use herbal hair wash powders to wash off the hair oil. One or two rounds of wash with hair wash powder will get rid off oil from hair. It is very fine, even if some amount of oiliness remains on the hair.

  8. I lost 70% of my hair due to oily scalp, a consequent scalp infection, which (as per a homoepath) was made worse by excessive use of hair oil. That doctor recommended that I stop using hair oil and keep washing hair regularly with ZPTO shampoo and occasional Selsun (contains selenium sulphide). I have not applied hair oil for the last 2 years. Currently there is no infection, but my remaining hair is very thin and sparse. Could you please recommend me an ayurvedic alternative? Should I stop using oil forever?
