Weekly Hair Oiling or Daily Lightweight Care? Understanding Modern Hair Rituals

Maintain hydration and strength in the everyday hustle. Think of oiling as a weekend retreat for your hair and lightweight care as daily maintenance. On days when your scalp needs deep nourishment, indulge in a hair oil.

In today’s world of ever-evolving beauty trends and busy lifestyles, hair care rituals are undergoing a quiet revolution. One of the most commonly asked questions we hear is this :  Should I stick to traditional weekly hair oiling, or switch to a lightweight daily routine?

Kanishka Jain, Founder, Dromen & Co Apothecary shares what our hair rituals need weekly hair oiling or daily lightweight care.

The Ritual of Weekly Hair Oiling

For generations, weekly oiling has been a cornerstone of Indian hair care. It’s deeply nourishing, deeply rooted in tradition and deeply therapeutic. Rich oils like coconut, amla and our own Ayurvedic Hair Brew Oil are power-packed with natural ingredients that condition the scalp, improve blood circulation and support long-term hair growth.

This ritual is especially effective for those experiencing hair thinning, premature greying, or scalp dryness. Our Rosemary & Lavender Brew Oil, for instance, has become a go-to for many looking to control hair fall while enjoying a relaxing, restorative experience. Just one to two applications a week can offer powerful results over time.

However, in today’s fast-paced world, finding the time for a full oiling routine and wash can be challenging. That’s where modern rituals come in.

The Rise of Daily Lightweight Care

Daily lightweight hair care is becoming increasingly popular, especially among urban users exposed to environmental stress, styling tools and fluctuating weather. But lightweight doesn’t mean less effective—it means smart care.

Take, for example, our Natural Honey Mist—a multipurpose mist enriched with not about choosing one ritual over the other—it’s about balance. Weekly oiling rituals offer long-term repair and rejuvenation. Daily lightweight care, on the other hand, helps massage. On busier days, spritz on some Honey Mist and go.
