Maha Palandu is HerbtoniQ’s onion hair oil in the Ayurvedic tailam style – palandu being the Sanskrit name for onion. Onion oil is combined with bhringraj, amla, methi, nagarmotha, brahmi, gudahal (hibiscus), priangu and shikakai in a til (sesame) oil base for an old-fashioned champi.
Key Benefits
- Nourishes hair and scalp during a warm oil massage.
- Supports strong, healthy-looking hair with regular oiling.
- Helps reduce frizz and leaves hair smoother to the touch.
- Adds natural shine to dull, dry-looking lengths.
- One ready blend instead of mixing several oils and herbs yourself.
What’s Inside
1 bottle, 200 ml, a blend of:
- Onion Oil (Palandu) – the ingredient the oil is named after, long used in Indian home hair care.
- Bhringraj Oil, Amla and Brahmi – three herbs traditionally used in Ayurveda in hair oils.
- Methi, Gudahal (Hibiscus) and Shikakai – familiar hair-pack herbs that add to the blend.
- Nagarmotha and Priangu – aromatic herbs found in classical tailam recipes.
- Til (Sesame) Oil and Sugandhit Dravya – the carrier oil and fragrance.
How to Use
- Take a small amount of oil in your palm; for a warm massage, stand the bottle in warm water for a few minutes first.
- Part the hair and massage gently into the scalp with your fingertips for 5–10 minutes.
- Smooth what is left on your hands through the lengths and ends.
- Leave for at least an hour, or overnight with a towel over the pillow.
- Wash out with a mild shampoo. Use 2–3 times a week.
- Patch test behind the ear 24 hours before first use and keep away from the eyes.
Who Is It For
For men and women with dry, frizzy, normal or coloured hair who enjoy regular oiling. Sesame-based oils feel richer than light oils, so if your scalp is oily, use a smaller amount and keep it on for an hour instead of overnight.

FAQs
How do I use onion hair oil?
Massage a small amount into the scalp, leave it for an hour or overnight and wash with a mild shampoo. Two or three times a week is usual.
Can I leave Maha Palandu oil overnight?
Yes. Many people oil at night and shampoo in the morning; cover your pillow to protect it.
Does onion hair oil smell of onion?
The oil contains fragrance (sugandhit dravya) along with the herbs, and any remaining scent washes out with shampoo.
