Shoppers say this scalp-therapy oil is 'better than Rogaine' — and it's just $20
The top-rated treatment is formulated to add shine, battle dandruff and encourage hair growth.
We love a multitasker, and Life & Pursuits Bhringraj Hair Oil is like three products in one. Thanks to its nourishing Ayurvedic blend of cold-pressed organic oils, it's designed to work triple duty on your hair and scalp as a moisturizer, growth stimulator and flake fighter. Right now, you can get it at Amazon for just $20.
Hoping for fewer flakes? Shinier strands? This shopper-favorite hair oil has you covered.
When a bottle of high-quality, low-cost hair oil comes into your life, it's time to snap it up. It can save you plenty on pricey salon treatments — treatments that might not even work. "I am vain about my hair," one shopper said. They continued by saying: "I compared photos prior to using it. My hair is fuller, shinier, and thicker. Great investment."
Life & Pursuits Bhringraj Hair Oil combines organic oils like almond, coconut and sesame with bhringraj oil, which is used in Ayurveda, an Indian tradition that promotes healing through nutrition. The oil also acts as a natural conditioner to promote shine and treat inflamed scalps to prevent thinning hair. One study shows that it increased the number of hair follicles in rats. The oil also has anti-microbial properties to help reduce dandruff.
The reviews speak for themselves — more than 2,800 Amazon shoppers sing its praises. "I can't believe it. This thing works," wrote one Amazon shopper who provided photos. "This is better than Rogaine and Olaplex. This made new baby hairs on my head. My hair is soft and growing back."
Multiple reviewers shared success stories of hair growth in a matter of a few weeks. "I've been using this product for two weeks now," said a five-star reviewer. "With excitement, I am already seeing significant improvement in my hair growth and seeing hair follicles."
Users with dandruff are raving too. "I used to have chronic flaky scalp and dandruff for a period of time and had to use dandruff shampoos to get rid of the flakes, but they would always come back," explained one buyer. "Once I started using this hair growth oil, though, the flakes and dandruff disappeared and have not come back since!"
The only downside? The scent isn't for everyone, some shoppers say. "[Reviewers] have complained about the smell," revealed one. "But I really like it. It’s earthy and pleasant. I have long curly hair and for some reason, friends and strangers smell my hair often and vocalize their compliments about the scent."
"Over the past three weeks, my hair is looking much more full, and it's so soft and shiny again, as it was in my youth," raved a fan. "I'm excited to see how much better my hair will look over the next several months. I will continue using this product as long as it's available! ... It’s not the best fragrance (not horrible, just not my favorite), but for the good it does my hair, it's totally worth it."
"This oil helped my bleached, dry, straw-like hair into soft buttery strands," wrote a final shopper. "The smell is not great but it doesn’t linger."
This hair oil is simple to use: Just massage it onto your scalp and let it sit overnight. You can also leave it in for a few hours before washing it out.
To accompany this triple threat, snag the inexpensive Heeta Scalp Massager, which promotes hair growth and exfoliates the scalp.
Reviewers say it's helped with everything from oiliness and shedding to dandruff and dry scalp. Plus, it feels relaxing and luxurious. Use it to work shampoo onto your scalp without ruining your manicure.
"Bye-bye, flakes," raved a shopper. "I love this shampoo brush! My son had really bad flakes in his hair from dry scalp. We tried all different kinds of shampoos and creams, but nothing worked. I stumbled across this product and thought, 'Why not give it a try?' After one use, there were noticeably fewer flakes. After using it for a week, there were no more flakes."
