Most hair oils ask you to choose between coconut, castor, or sesame. Matru Ayurveda's 3-in-1 Ayurvedic Hair Oil Blend gives you all three — each cold pressed to preserve full potency — working together in one bottle. The result is a hair oil that penetrates deeply, strengthens follicles, nourishes the scalp, and leaves hair visibly softer, thicker, and healthier with consistent use. If you've been wondering whether to use castor oil for hair growth, coconut oil for hair fall, or sesame oil for scalp nourishment — this blend does all three.
Why cold pressing makes this blend different
Each of the three oils in this blend is extracted using a traditional cold press process — no heat, no hexane, no chemical solvents. Heat-refined oils, which dominate the Indian market, lose a significant portion of their active vitamins, fatty acids, and polyphenols during processing. By cold pressing each oil separately before blending, we ensure that every drop in this bottle is as nutritionally potent as nature intended. No artificial fragrance. No mineral oil filler. No processing chemicals of any kind.
What each oil brings to the blend
Virgin cold pressed coconut oil — Coconut oil has the unique ability to penetrate deep inside the hair shaft rather than just coating the surface, making it one of the few oils proven to actually reduce protein loss in hair. It also has natural antifungal properties that keep the scalp healthy, reduce dandruff, and soothe dryness and itching. Its light texture ensures the blend spreads easily and doesn't feel too heavy on fine hair.
Virgin cold pressed castor oil — Castor oil is the engine of hair growth in this blend. Rich in ricinoleic acid, it increases circulation in the scalp, directly nourishing hair follicles and supporting new hair growth. Its thick, emollient texture also provides a protective coating to each strand, significantly reducing breakage, split ends, and hair fall caused by friction and heat.
Virgin cold pressed sesame oil — Sesame oil is called the king of oils in Ayurveda for good reason. It is one of the oldest hair care ingredients in Indian tradition, known for its ability to penetrate deeply into scalp tissue, carry active nutrients with it, and provide a gentle natural UV-protective barrier. Sesame oil also has natural anti-inflammatory properties that calm an irritated scalp, making this blend particularly effective for those dealing with dry scalp or stress-related hair fall.
BENEFITS:
What this blend does for your hair and scalp
-
Reduces hair fall and breakage — The combination of castor oil's follicle-strengthening ricinoleic acid and coconut oil's protein-preserving properties tackles both root-level hair loss and strand-level breakage simultaneously.
-
Promotes new hair growth — Regular scalp massage with this blend improves blood circulation to hair follicles, creating the conditions for healthier, denser hair growth over time.
-
Deeply conditions dry and damaged hair — All three oils work together to restore moisture, smooth the hair cuticle, and repair visibly dry, brittle, or chemically treated hair.
-
Controls dry scalp and dandruff — Coconut oil's antifungal action combined with sesame oil's anti-inflammatory properties makes this blend highly effective for dandruff-prone and dry, flaky scalps.
-
Repairs split ends — The thick emollient layer formed by castor oil coats split ends and protects them from further damage — visible improvement with regular pre-wash use.
-
Provides natural UV protection for hair — Sesame oil naturally filters UV rays, providing a degree of protection for hair exposed to sunlight — particularly valuable in Indian summers.
-
Suitable for full body massage — This blend makes an excellent Ayurvedic body massage oil. Sesame oil is traditionally used in Abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-massage) for its ability to warm the body, improve circulation, and soften skin.
-
Safe for children (2+ years) — All three oils are 100% natural with no chemical additives, making this blend gentle enough for children's hair and skin massage.
How to use — hair, scalp and body
-
For hair growth and hair fall (scalp oil treatment): Warm 2–3 teaspoons of oil between your palms. Part your hair and apply directly to the scalp in sections. Massage gently in circular motions for 5–10 minutes to stimulate blood flow. Work remaining oil through the lengths of the hair. Leave on for a minimum of 1 hour, or overnight with a shower cap for deep conditioning. Wash out with a mild sulfate-free shampoo. Use 2–3 times a week consistently for best results.
-
For dry scalp and dandruff: Apply directly to the scalp the night before washing. Focus on the areas most affected by dryness or flaking. Leave overnight. Shampoo in the morning. Consistent weekly use over 4–6 weeks produces the most visible results.
-
For split end treatment: Apply a small amount to just the ends of dry hair. Leave on for 30–60 minutes before washing. Can also be used as a light serum on dry ends between washes — use a very small amount to avoid weighing hair down.
-
For Ayurvedic body massage (Abhyanga): Warm the oil slightly. Apply generously to the entire body, starting at the head and working downward. Massage in long strokes along the limbs and circular movements at joints. Leave on for 15–20 minutes before bathing. Best done in the morning for an energising effect.
-
For children's hair and skin massage: A small amount warmed in the palms is ideal for gentle baby and toddler hair massage. Apply to the scalp and massage gently. Suitable from 2 years and above for external use only.
Pro tip: Because castor oil is naturally thick, warming the entire blend slightly before use helps it spread more easily through the hair and absorb more deeply into the scalp.

Frequently asked questions
Can I mix coconut, castor and sesame oil for hair at home?
You can, but the results depend entirely on the quality of each oil you use. Most market oils are heat-refined and have lost their active nutrients before you even open them. Matru Ayurveda's blend combines all three oils in their virgin cold pressed form — so you get the full benefit of each without needing to source and blend three separate bottles. It is also more cost-effective than buying all three individually.
Which oil in this blend helps most with hair growth?
Castor oil is the primary driver of hair growth in this blend — its ricinoleic acid content increases scalp circulation and nourishes hair follicles directly. However, coconut oil supports it by reducing the protein loss that causes thinning, while sesame oil carries the active nutrients deeper into the scalp. The three work synergistically — better together than any single oil alone.
Is sesame oil really good for hair growth?
Yes — sesame oil has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic hair care for thousands of years. It is rich in Vitamin E, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, and fatty acids. Its molecular structure allows it to penetrate the scalp deeply, making it an excellent carrier that also conditions the scalp, reduces inflammation, and provides a gentle natural SPF barrier against UV damage to hair.
How long before I see results for hair fall control?
Most customers notice a visible reduction in hair fall and improved scalp condition within 3–4 weeks of consistent use (2–3 times per week). Visible new hair growth typically appears after 6–8 weeks. Natural oils work gradually and cumulatively — consistency is more important than frequency.
Can this oil be used on the body as well as hair?
Absolutely — this is one of its best uses. Sesame oil is the traditional Ayurvedic base oil for Abhyanga (self-massage), known for its ability to nourish skin deeply, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system. Combined with coconut and castor oil, this blend makes an excellent full-body massage oil, particularly for dry skin, joint areas, and children's skin.
Is this oil safe for children?
Yes. All three oils are 100% natural and free from any chemicals, preservatives, or synthetic additives. The blend is safe for use on children above 2 years of age for external scalp massage and body application. It is not intended for consumption.
What is the difference between this blend and the individual castor or sesame oil?
The individual castor oil and sesame oil sold by Matru Ayurveda are each 100% single-ingredient oils — best suited if you want to use them for a specific purpose (e.g., castor oil for eyebrows, sesame oil for Abhyanga). This 3-in-1 blend is designed as a complete daily hair oil that combines the strengths of all three — convenience, versatility, and maximum hair benefit in a single product.
