Hi Mommies, My baby is 3 months old and so far I have been using Ramdev mustard oil for her hair. The oil is good but too heavy and sticky. I am using olive oil for her body massage. Can the same oil be used for her hair as well? Any other suggestions?

Hi Sukirti. You can use mustard oil for massaging her body for its anyways winter and mustard oil is traditionally used for heat producing effect. Olive oil is also good for body massage. But please try and not use mustard oil for the hair because of its heat, its generally known to affect the hair quality and lead to premature greying. Use coconut oil instead.

For winter's I use olive oil both for body and hair. I mix the same with a Lil almond oil as well. I use figaro olive oil and baby biotique almond oil. I am very content with both. Ideally Mustard oil is also good but it's suggested not to use the same for kids as it may have some irritants for the baby. In summers please do not use olive oil as it is very warm. Use Coconut oil instead. Happy Parenting!!
