Growing your hair can feel like a slow process, especially when damp weather, hard water, and urban pollution can leave your scalp and strands feeling stressed. If you’re looking for a natural way to care for your hair, the right hair oil can make a real difference. Holy Lama Naturals Nourishing Hair Oil, made with a blend of sesame seed and coconut oil, is a standout option. It's gentle and rooted in Ayurvedic tradition. Here's why it deserves a spot in your routine, along with some practical tips to help your hair thrive.
Hair oils aren’t just for adding shine, they help keep the hair hydrated. These benefits are especially important in the UK, where hard tap water and cold weather can cause dryness. A quality natural oil can act as a barrier against these elements while leaving the hair feeling stronger and smoother. The key is finding one that’s rich in beneficial ingredients and easy to incorporate into your lifestyle, even on busy mornings.
Holy Lama Naturals Nourishing Hair Oil is a thoughtful blend of cold pressed coconut oil and sesame seed oil, enhanced with ingredients like indigofera extract, vitamin E, jojoba oil, tea tree oil, and essential oils including cedarwood and vetivert. Each component plays a role:
Sesame Seed Oil: Rich in zinc and vitamin E, this is a nourishing oil for the scalp.

Coconut Oil: A classic ingredient known for locking in moisture, strengthening hair, and soothing dry scalps, especially beneficial in hard water areas.
Product link: Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (Pure)
Indigofera Extract: An Ayurvedic favourite that strengthens and smooths hair.
Vitamin E & Jojoba Oil: Help shield hair from environmental stress (especially useful in urban areas) and maintain a balanced scalp.
Tea Tree & Essential Oils: Tea tree brings a fresh, clean scent, while cedarwood and vetivert add a calming aroma, turning your hair routine into a relaxing moment.
The hair oil is vegan and free from parabens and SLS. It is made by hand at the company’s own factory in Kerala, a state recognised women’s enterprise with over 80% women in the workforce, and farmers and suppliers are paid immediately and at fair prices.
The application is easy. Pour a small amount into a bowl and gently massage it into your scalp using your fingertips, working in gentle circular motions. Work any excess through to the ends. Leave it in for about 15 minutes while you enjoy a cup of tea, then rinse with a mild, natural shampoo.
For curly or coily hair: Consider leaving it on overnight once a week for deeper hydration.
For fine hair: Focus on the scalp only to avoid weighing it down.
Using it two to three times a week can help your hair feel more nourished and look shinier. Pressed for time? Even a five minute scalp massage before your shower helps. It’s all about consistency, not perfection.
Bonus: A 100ml bottle lasts a long time, making it great value for money.
While a nourishing oil is a great place to start, supporting your hair from the inside is equally important:
Eat iron and protein rich foods like eggs, lentils, and leafy greens.
Stay hydrated: your scalp needs water just like your skin.
Manage stress: even a short walk or some deep breathing can make a difference.
Limit heat styling, or use a protectant to prevent breakage.
Weekly scalp massages (even without oil) can be a relaxing part of your routine. If you're finding your scalp feels dry or flaky, a regular oil routine, like Holy Lama’s sesame and coconut blend, can make all the difference.
This hair oil isn’t just effective, it’s practical for British routines. Its natural ingredients suit all hair types, from tight curls to fine straight hair. The compact bottle fits neatly in any bathroom cabinet, and it offers real value for the quality you’re getting. Best of all, it’s made by hand in Kerala, at a women’s enterprise where more than 80% of the team are women.
Holy Lama Naturals Nourishing Hair Oil isn’t just another product, it’s a small but meaningful ritual that can help strengthen and revitalise your hair. With its carefully chosen ingredients and ethical production, it’s a smart choice for anyone in the UK looking to care for their hair naturally. Pair it with good habits for hair that looks and feels its best.
