What natural mask should I use for oily or fine hair? Ayurvedic treatments that regulate sebum
Oily hair is one of the most common hair problems and also one of the most difficult to balance. Conventional shampoos clean excess oil but often dry out the scalp, which responds by producing even more sebum. The result is a vicious cycle that is hard to break.
Ayurvedic tradition has been addressing this problem for centuries with plants that regulate sebum production without irritating the scalp. Here are Radhe Shyam's three most effective treatments for oily and fine hair.
Nettle: sebum regulation and purifying action
>Nettle is one of the most recognized plants in the care of oily hair. Its main action is to regulate the scalp's natural sebum and purify it deeply thanks to its purifying properties.
Rich in vitamins A, B, and C, nettle nourishes the scalp while balancing it, preventing both excess oil and post-wash dryness. It also helps eliminate dandruff, which in many cases is directly related to sebum imbalance.
It is the most recommended treatment as a starting point for hair with an oily tendency, especially when the scalp also presents irritation or flaking.
Preparation: Mix nettle powder with hot water until a creamy paste is obtained. Let it rest for a few minutes and apply from roots to ends. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse with plenty of water without shampoo.
Thyme: natural antiseptic against excess oil
>Thyme is the most active option for hair with pronounced excess oil. Its invigorating, disinfectant, and antiseptic properties act directly on the scalp to combat sebum overproduction and prevent dandruff.
Unlike other milder treatments, thyme has a stimulating effect that also promotes hair growth and adds shine. It is especially useful when oily hair is accompanied by a dull root sensation or lack of volume.
Preparation: Mix thyme powder with hot water until a creamy paste is obtained. Apply from roots to ends and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse with plenty of water without shampoo.
Nagarmota: oil regulation in fine hair
>Nagarmota is the most specific Ayurvedic plant for fine hair with an oily tendency. Extracted from the roots of the Cyperus plant, it regulates the scalp's oil production while improving hair texture, leaving it soft and fine without weighing it down.
Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it especially suitable for sensitive scalps or those prone to acne. It is the most recommended option when hair is fine, gets greasy quickly, and the scalp is easily irritated.

Which one to choose for your case?
>If you have an oily scalp with dandruff or irritation, start with Nettle. It is the most balancing and purifying.
If you have pronounced excess oil with a dull root sensation and lack of volume, Thyme is the most active and effective option.
If you have fine hair that gets greasy quickly and a sensitive scalp, Nagarmota is the most specific for your case.
All three can be used in rotation or combined depending on the scalp's needs at any given time.
How to integrate these treatments into your routine
>Use them once a week or every 15 days as a complement to your usual shampoo, depending on your scalp's needs. Consistency is what makes the difference: with regular use, the scalp recovers its natural balance and hair takes longer to get greasy between washes.
