Azlok Head Massage Oil is a nourishing hair and scalp oil built on an old Ayurvedic recipe, combining black sesame, coconut, amla, bhringaraj, onion and tea tree oil. You warm a little, massage it into your scalp and hair, leave it on, and then wash it out — it works for all hair types and starts at ₹249 for a 100 gm pack.
Head massage with oil is one of the simplest hair-care habits Indian households have kept for generations. This blend brings several time-tested oils together in one bottle, so you don't have to buy and mix them separately.
What's in the blend and why it matters
Each oil in this alcohol-free formula plays a role. Here's the short version:
- Black sesame oil — a light, nutrient-rich base oil traditionally used to condition the scalp.
- Coconut oil — penetrates the hair shaft well and helps reduce protein loss during washing.
- Amla oil — a classic Indian ingredient long associated with hair strength and shine.
- Bhringaraj oil — known in Ayurveda as a hair-friendly herb often used in scalp preparations.
- Onion oil — sulphur-rich and popular in modern hair blends.
- Tea tree oil — added in small amount for its clarifying, fresh quality on the scalp.
The colour ranges from light to dark yellow, which is normal for a natural oil blend. Because it is a liquid, it spreads easily and rinses out without leaving a heavy residue.
How to use Head Massage Oil
A regular oil massage, or champi, is the best way to get value from this blend.
- Warm a small quantity — a tablespoon or two, depending on hair length — by placing the container in a bowl of hot water. Do not overheat.
- Part your hair in sections and apply the oil directly to the scalp with your fingertips.
- Massage gently in circular motions for 5 to 10 minutes. This is relaxing and helps you spread the oil evenly.
- Work the remaining oil down the length of your hair, paying attention to dry ends.
- Leave it on for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if you prefer a deeper conditioning.
- Wash with a mild shampoo. You may need two lathers to remove all the oil.
Two to three times a week is a comfortable routine for most people. If your scalp is very oily, once a week is enough.
Tips and safety notes
Natural oils are gentle, but a few sensible precautions help:
- Patch test first. Apply a little to the inside of your elbow and wait 24 hours before using it on your scalp, especially because it contains tea tree and onion oil.
- For external use only. This is a hair and body massage oil, not something to be swallowed.
- Keep away from the eyes. If oil gets into your eyes, rinse with plenty of clean water.
- Store away from children.
- If you are pregnant, have a scalp condition or known sensitivities, check with a doctor before adding essential-oil blends to your routine.
Do not expect overnight miracles. Oiling supports healthier-looking hair over weeks of consistent use; it is a habit, not a one-time fix.
Buying and storage
Azlok offers this oil in a wide range of sizes — 100 gm, 500 gm, 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg and 20 kg — so it suits both a single household and small salons or businesses buying in bulk. The 100 gm pack at ₹249 is a good way to try it before committing to a larger size.
Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Kept properly, the shelf life is around two years. Always close the cap tightly and use clean, dry hands or a spoon to avoid introducing water into the oil.

How often should I do a head massage with it?
Two to three times a week works well for most people. If your scalp gets oily quickly, once a week is enough.
