Rooted in Heritage: Honoring the Rituals That Inspired Us

Rooted in Heritage: Honoring the Rituals That Inspired Us

At A Thousand and One, every drop of oil carries a story.
A story of ancient lands, family rituals, and timeless wisdom passed from hand to hand — and strand to strand.

Our journey didn’t begin in a lab. It began in hammams filled with steam and spice, in South Asian kitchens filled with the scent of Amla, and in North African gardens where fenugreek was soaked with intention.
We were inspired by rituals — not routines.

The Power of Ancestral Beauty

For centuries, hair oiling has been a sacred tradition across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. These rituals weren’t just about beauty — they were about care, connection, and culture.
From the weekly scalp massages of Ayurveda to the nourishing oils used in Moroccan hammams, hair was treated as a symbol of vitality, strength, and self-respect.

We created RootRevivalOil to carry those stories forward — to bring ancient wisdom into the modern world with honesty and reverence.

Every Ingredient Tells a Story

Each oil and botanical in our formula is chosen not just for function — but for legacy.

  • Argan Oil — once pressed by hand in the mountains of Morocco.

  • Amla — a fruit revered in Ayurveda as the source of hair strength and youth.

  • Fenugreek, Bhringraj, Hibiscus — all rooted in generations of haircare traditions.

🌿 We didn’t invent the ritual. We simply reimagined it — for today.

A Ritual Reborn

RootRevivalOil is our love letter to the past — and our offering for the future.
It’s small-batch, handcrafted, and made with intention. Not to follow trends, but to bring back what matters:

Time. Touch. Tradition.

When you use our oil, you’re not just caring for your hair —
you’re reconnecting to something deeper.
