PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
Hair oils are combination of oils and suitable perfumes.
Coconut oil is the most commonly used base for hair oil manufacture, to which manufacturers add other herbal or non-herbal ingredients in order to add value to the product.
The base oils like Castor oil, Coconut oil and Seasamum oil are mostly used vegetable based oils. Besides vegetable based oils, another class of base oils which are used in Hair Oils are floral oils such as Bela Oil, Chameli oil, Henna oil etc., which poses most delicate fragrances.
Vegetable oils are refined before using it in the Hair Oil formulations.
The natural scents added to hair oil such as Balsom peru, Cantharidin and Fly Cantharides help to invigorate the growth of hairs and prevent baldness.

However, in recent times, this trend has been changing and people now buy attractive and expensive packs of hair oil, which have several other constituents such as perfumes.
Perfumed liquid paraffin hair oils called as non-sticky hair oils are available and purchased as the users need not wash their hands after application.
Such developments have given scope for introduction and development of market for Herbal Hair oil in a big way.
Herbal hair oil are particularly preferred in view of the medicinal and eco friendly properties that it possesses.
