What is the Ayurvedic approach to oiling the hair and scalp? I’ve heard that traditional Ayurvedic hair oiling sometimes begins with massaging specific points on the forehead, temples and scalp before applying oil. What is the Ayurvedic reasoning behind this practice, and is there any scientific evidence supporting the benefits of massaging these areas? Does the oiling technique or frequency differ based on hair/scalp type, such as dry, oily, fine, thick, curly or high-porosity hair? And how should someone choose between oils such as coconut, sesame, bhringraj, amla or other Ayurvedic oils?
