Hello, I am Rajitha. I bring back simple, chemical-free care for your hair, just like the traditions I grew up with.

Hello, Rajitha aanu. I often get asked if daily shampooing is bad for your hair. If you use shampoos with harsh chemicals like sulphates, it can cause dryness and itching. That's why I created my own natural, chemical-free shampoos that you can use every day without worry.

This is my natural hair care oil, the heart of Neelayambary. It's a traditional kaachenna made with over 15 herbs like Neelayamari and Kayyunni, slow-cooked in pure coconut oil. It's made with a lot of love to help reduce hair fall and nourish your scalp.

Here you can see our hair oil being prepared the traditional way, in a bronze uruli over a wood fire. This slow cooking process takes two days and helps infuse all the goodness of the herbs into the oil, which is what makes it so effective.

This is the result that makes all the hard work worth it. A customer shared her hair fall journey, showing a huge reduction in just one month of using my hair oil. Seeing this change is the biggest reason I continue to make these products.

My Hibiscus Aloevera shampoo, surrounded by the fresh ingredients I use. I still remember making thaali from hibiscus flowers as a child. This shampoo brings back that nostalgia and natural goodness, without any of the harsh chemicals.

Do you remember the feeling of using fresh thaali on your hair? I've captured that memory in my Neelayambary Thaali Bar. It's a solid shampoo bar packed with hibiscus, amla, and other herbs to gently cleanse your hair and make it soft and shiny.

Here I am at a local Onam fair in Malappuram. Being able to meet my customers face-to-face and share my passion for natural hair care is one of the best parts of this journey. I am the owner and the worker, and I love it.

My Aloe Vera Gel is a simple, multi-purpose product for both skin and hair. It's great for calming an itchy scalp, strengthening hair, and even soothing your skin after being in the sun. It's pure, natural, and very effective.

A glimpse into my workspace on May Day. Since I am the worker and the owner, every day is a day of labour and love. Here I am labeling jars and making soaps, all by hand, to ensure you get the best quality.

About Featured

Every bottle of our signature Kaachenna hair oil is slow-cooked for 48 hours in a bronze vessel over a wood fire. This is not factory-made, as I personally manage the entire process to ensure the herbs reach the exact sand-like consistency needed for the oil to be effective against hair fall and dryness.

I started Neelayambary because I wanted to bring back the honest hair care I grew up with in Kerala. Commercial shampoos and oils are often filled with chemicals that cause long-term dryness and itching, so I went back to the basics. My process relies on traditional recipes using fresh hibiscus, aloe vera, neem, and other herbs sourced carefully. When you order from this collection, you are getting products made in small batches, often just after you place your order. This ensures high quality and freshness because I do not store large quantities. My focus is on specific hair concerns, whether you are dealing with persistent hair fall, dandruff, or simply want to remove harsh sulphates and parabens from your daily routine. From our bronze-vessel herbal oil to our mild hibiscus and aloe shampoo, every item is designed to nourish your scalp without any artificial additives. If you are unsure which product matches your current hair health, you can reach out for a recommendation.
