Such a lovely article by @vasudha.rai for @vogueindia / From Root to Tip, May 2022 📸: @ridburman ---- “The human body is like an upside-down tree. The head is the root, which needs to be nourished with hair oil,” says Dr Gunvant Hari Yeola, Ayurvedic physician and principal of the DY Patil College of Ayurved & Research Centre, Pune. The biggest myth about oiling is that it increases hair fall. “But most people apply oil on a dirty scalp, therefore it tends to clog the pores, thereby weakening the roots,” explains Ohri. If you want to avoid oil altogether, Rajni Ohri, founder of Ohria Ayurveda, suggests massaging the scalp with fresh aloe vera gel to soothe the skin and moisturise the strands.
