In the world of ayurvedic hair care, two names consistently rise to the surface, Indulekha and Kesh King. Marketed as miracle oils for hair growth, both have amassed loyal followings and prominent shelf space in Indian households. But with grand claims and glossy promises, the real question remains: which one actually delivers? At HZ Tried & Tested, we put these cult favourites through a no-nonsense review, scrutinising their ingredients, application, and most importantly, results.
Indulekha Bringha Oil boasts a powerhouse Ayurvedic blend, with Bhringraj, Amla, Neem, Brahmi, and Svetakutaja. What sets it apart is its self-dispensing comb applicator, allowing direct root application without fuss. The formulation is free from parabens, sulphates, and synthetic dyes, lending it credibility as a clean and holistic choice.
On the other hand, Kesh King Ayurvedic Oil comes enriched with 21 Ayurvedic herbs, including Bhringraj, Jatamansi, Manjistha, and Brahmi, blended in Sesame and Coconut oil bases. It also carries the Ayush certification — an official nod to its Ayurvedic legitimacy. However, it does contain mineral oil, which some users may want to avoid for a purist routine.
Indulekha’s oil is thicker in consistency, with a distinctive herbal aroma that’s quite potent and may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The applicator comb, though unique, can be tricky if not used carefully — it dispenses oil generously, so control is key.
Kesh King, in contrast, has a lighter, more fluid texture and a milder fragrance that’s easier on the senses. It comes with a flip-cap nozzle, making it simple to pour and massage into the scalp.
When used thrice a week over three weeks, Indulekha showed a noticeable reduction in hair fall and the appearance of baby hair along the hairline, especially when used overnight. It may not offer instant shine, but it clearly strengthens strands from the root.
Kesh King added more softness and shine to the hair and was easier to rinse out. However, its effect on new hair growth was slower in comparison.
If you’re seeking long-term growth and scalp health, Indulekha is the more targeted, effective option — despite its strong scent and thicker texture. For those who want a light, nourishing oil that adds gloss and a mild herbal experience, Kesh King is a charming contender. Our vote? For growth alone — Indulekha takes the crown.
