For ages, the goodness of almond oil has been renowned for its ability to get healthy and lustrous hair. "This natural elixir is packed with lipoprotein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin E, which help nourish the scalp, reduce hair fall, and promote hair growth," says Ayurveda expert Dr Chanchal Sharma. Almond oil deeply penetrates the hair shaft, moisturising and softening your tresses. Additionally, when you use it regularly, it may also help strengthen the hair follicles, reduce breakage, and soothe scalp irritation.
