This Onam, bless your hair with the gift of ayurvedic ingredients

Onam is one of the most important festivals celebrated by Malayalis across the world and it is celebrated every year with great enthusiasm and fervor. Kerala is truly enchanting during this time of the year, giving a spectacular glimpse of cultural glory with Vallam Kali - the local boat races, Pulikali- tiger dances, Pookkalam - flower Rangoli, and many more. Hair plays an integral role in the festive appearance of women across the country, especially more, to the women of Kerala during Onam where they are seen dressed in Kasavu sarees and have flowers adorning their long lustrous hair.

Ayurveda, the ancient form of medicine is no stranger to people from Kerala, as it has been nurtured on the shores of this state for centuries. Older generations have sworn by its holistic approach to health & wellbeing, as they believed it can naturally tackle any issue. The younger generation however, is gradually seen drifting away, adopting new-age products to see quicker results. When it comes to hair, the increase in cases of hair fall and hair thinning are evidence that these result- based products are only short-term fixes. Modern medicine and allopathic practitioners too recognize the value of ayurvedic ingredients and many of them are borne out by modern scientific techniques too, giving us the best of both worlds.

So, if you wish to get that long thick lustrous hair just like your grandmother had, it’s time to change our routines and go back to the Ayurvedic practices that they followed which not only promised the best results but also ensured it’s a long-lasting one. Follow these simple steps to gift your hair the blessings of Ayurveda. Start now and you will see a definite change in your hair for this Onam celebration:
