Nykaa Naturals Hair Oil Range: Product Details and Ingredient Analysis
Without a hair oil, any hair care routine is incomplete. And, just like any cosmetic product category, the market is filled with bunch of hair oils too. Thus, it becomes pretty difficult to choose a chemical free hair oil from the market.
Many of you might know that I have used a couple of Nykaa Naturals products in the last few months. Not all were amazing, but I can see how hard the brand is trying to improve the product formulations.
Just a week back, Nykaa sent me the entire range of #NykaaNaturals Hair Oil. And guess what! Nykaa has launched these hair oils just today.
So, in this article, I am going to share from ingredients to price, everything in brief.
Grab a bowl of your favourite snack as the article is going to be lengthy.

As you can see, the formulation is made of all natural oils. I can definitely call it a chemical free hair oil.
How does the Oil Feel on Scalp and Hair?
The oil is a bit thick. If applied in a quantity more than required, it might weigh down your hair. My experience says, the heaviness is due to high amount of Castor Oil.
The moment the oil touches the scalp, it gives a mild cooling sensation. Honestly, it feels great. I have an itchy scalp that is round the year dandruff-prone.
Since the arrival, I have applied the hair oil once only as I had to try the other two variants as well. Well! Obviously, it is not possible to wash off all the dandruff in one go only.
But, I must say that the itchiness has reduced significantly. All the ingredients are magical.
As the oil is a bit thick, you might need to shampoo at least twice. After wash off, hair feels smooth and conditioned. I love how my hair feels post-cleanup.
If you are looking for a chemical free #100%NaturalHairOil that can treat your dandruff-prone scalp, then this is worth giving a try.
Range 2: Nykaa Naturals Onion & Fenugreek Hair Oil
Price and the other details remain the same for this hair oil.
The brand has promoted the oil as a hair growth oil. The feature ingredients definitely seem promising too. But, what else is inside? Let’s have a look.
What does the Brand Claim about Nykaa Naturals Onion and Fenugreek Hair Oil?
Onion (Promotes Hair Growth) in this oil is a sulphur-rich ingredient, promotes collagen and keratin production which is necessary for strong hair growth.
It also improves the blood circulation in the scalp to promote hair growth and hair health.
Fenugreek strengthens Hair Follicles. It is high in protein and vitamin B3. It is also known to increase blood circulation to induce keratin production.
The feature ingredients can help to deal with dandruff, hair fall, scalp issues, hair thinning, and baldness. If you want healthy and happy scalp, introduce this all natural hair oil to your routine.

Just like the previous variant, this is also rich in hair-loving ingredients. Here goes the details.

That’s all. There is no doubt that all these ingredients are quite beneficial to hair. Such an amazing formulation it is!
How does the Oil Feel on Scalp and Hair?
The oil smells like fenugreek which is not much soothing. But, that does not matter especially when the ingredients are all-natural.
Well! The best part is how light weight this hair oil is. The ingredients and the texture of the oil make it quite an ideal choice for an overnight hair mask.
The brand has promoted Nykaa Naturals Onion and Fenugreek Oil as a hair regrowth oil. So far, I have applied this oil once. And thus, it would be upright foolishness to comment on the claim.
But I believe, if applied on a clean scalp, all those components in the oil can promote hair growth in reality.
Range 3: Nykaa Naturals Amla and Curry Leaves Hair Oil
The brand has promoted this oil as an anti-hair fall one.
The title suggests that it has Amla and Curry leaves, but what else? Let’s talk about the last product of this range.
What does the Brand Claim about Nykaa Naturals Amla and Curry Leaves Hair Oil?
Amla (Strengthens Hair) is rich in vitamins, minerals, iron, amino acids, and phytonutrients that increase blood circulation. Which in turn strengthen hair fibres and bring an end to hair fal
Amla is also rich in vitamin C that helps to create collagen protein – an essential part of hair structure which makes strands more elastic and less prone to breakage.
Curry Leaves prevents hair thinning. Overall, it is an one-stop anti-hairfall hair fall that you need in your kit.
Ingredients of Nykaa Naturals Amla and Curry Leaves Hair Oil

- Walnut Oil
- Castor Oil
- Black Tea Extract (promotes hair growth)

How does the Oil Feel on Scalp and Hair?
The oil smells herbal. The feature ingredients do not influence the aroma and I love that.
It is a bit thick but manageable. No worries, it would not give you sticky feel. So, you can easily slip this oil into your night time haircare regime.
Well! The brand has named it an anti-hair fall hair oil.
Honestly, it is not easy to control hair fall. And also, it would be a blatant lie if I tell you that hair fall can be stopped just using a hair oil.
But, what I always say is, you can easily control the rate of hair fall with a proper hair care routine (that consists of harmful chemical free products).
Overall, whether you want to control hair fall or not, this product is worth giving a shot especially because of all those beneficial oils and herb extracts.
How to Use Nykaa Naturals Hair Oil Range
There are a number of ways to incorporate these oils into haircare routine. Here are some ideas.
1. The Usual Hair Oil + Shampoo
Use any variant of Nykaa Naturals hair oil before sleeping and rinse off with a mild shampoo in the morning.
You can follow it up with a conditioner as well. At present, I am using Re’equil Hair Conditioner which is giving me quite good result.
2. Hair Oil + Shampoo + Hair Mask
Oil your hair before sleeping at night, rinse off next morning with a paraben and sulphate free shampoo and follow it up with a harsh chemical free hair mask.
You can either prepare a mask at your home or you can buy a readymade.
3. Hair Oil + Shampoo + Hair Wrap
Use hair oil, rinse off with a mild shampoo and dry it off using Nykaa’s microfibre hair wrap.
My Final Rating on Nykaa Naturals Hair Oil
Are These One of the Best Chemical Free Hair Oils?
The entire range feels like a surprise gift from the house of Nykaa. Not in my wildest dream, I had imagined that Nykaa can formulate something like this.
All the hair oils are 100% Natural, Paraben Free, Vegan, Cruelty Free. No harmful chemicals like synthetic fragrance, artificial colours, and mineral oil have been used here.
In fact, the oils are FDA Approved and are made of all Cold-Pressed oils. The ingredients are selected wisely.
Every hair oil is formulated to solve a specific hair problem. Even the preservative oil blends are different.
Overall, these are something that every hair-lover should have on his/her shelf.
And, I would love to recommend these to everyone.
