The present inventors have found that using a combination of mineral oil, vegetable oil and cetyl dimethicone, in a selected concentration range is able to provide all of the desired benefits and additionally superior sensorials. A HAIR OIL COMPOSITION Technical Field The invention relates to a hair oil composition. The invention more particularly relates to a hair oil composition that provides the right balance of nourishment, manageability and feel desired by the consumer. Background of the invention People, especially in tropical countries like those in the South Asian region regularly use hair oils to provide nourishment and health to their hair. Traditionally, vegetable oils like coconut oil, mustard oil and/ or sesame oil are used. This habit of oiling the hair with vegetable oils, in the temperate countries, is not common as they consider hair oils to be sticky and believe that oils impede the manageability of their hair. Rather, the people in the temperate regions use shampoos to wash their hair and hair conditioners to provide the desired feel and manageability to the hair. The present inventors have been working on providing the right balance of nourishment, manageability and feel such that hair oils could be better used by the traditional consumers while non-users or infrequent users start to use hair oils on a regular basis for these benefits, so that one product is able to provide all users with most of the desired benefits. WO01 95866 A 1 (Unilever) discloses a hair oil comprising blend of (i) 1% to 95%, by weight of a first oily component which is one or more glyceride fatty esters and (ii) 5 to 90% by weight of a second oily component which is one or more hydrocarbon oils of average carbon chain length less than 20 carbon atoms. While this composition does provide some nourishment and manageability, it does not disclose use of silicone oil which along with the mineral oil and vegetable oil at the narrow range of concentration claimed is able to provide superior sensorial properties. JP2009221 143 A (Shisheido Co LTd.) discloses a hair cosmetic composition providing excellent floss, smooth touch, moist and dry feeling to the hair. The application provides a hair composition with 1 to 15wt% vegetable oil, a volatile oil, a high molecular weight dimethylpolysiloxane, and dimethylpolysiloxane containing a hydroxyl group, a polyoxyethylene group and/or a polyoxypropylene group. It was found that high molecular weight silicone oils like dimethylpolysiloxane, and dimethylpolysiloxane containing a hydroxyl group, a polyoxyethylene group and/or a polyoxypropylene group were not compatible with the vegetable oils and were found to separate out during storage. US20050053636A1 (Von Der Techt et al.) discloses a cosmetic or dermatological care oil having 90 to 99.5 wt% of a mineral oil and/or ester oil and from 0.5 to 10wt% by weight of a wax. The application further discloses that the ester oil may include triglyceride oil. The present inventors have found that using a combination of mineral oil, vegetable oil and silicone oil, in a selected concentration range is able to provide all of the desired benefits and additionally superior sensorials. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide for a hair oil composition that provides the desired nourishment while ensuring that the hair is not too sticky and feels smooth and manageable to the consumer. Summary of the Invention According to the first aspect of the present invention there is provided a hair oil composition comprising a . 70 to 88% of a mineral oil; b. 6 to 22 % of a vegetable oil; and, c . 2 to 8% of cetyl dimethicone. According to another aspect of the invention the hair oil composition of the invention is delivered through a dispenser comprising a container comprising the composition, and a dispensing nozzle capable of being attached to a pump. Detailed description of the invention These and other aspects, features and advantages will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from a reading of the following detailed description and the appended claims. For the avoidance of doubt, any feature of one aspect of the present invention may be utilized in any other aspect of the invention. The word "comprising" is intended to mean "including" but not necessarily "consisting of" or "composed of." In other words, the listed steps or options need not be exhaustive. It is noted that the examples given in the description below are intended to clarify the invention and are not intended to limit the invention to those examples per se. Similarly, all percentages are weight/weight percentages unless otherwise indicated. Except in the operating and comparative examples, or where otherwise explicitly indicated, all numbers in this description and claims indicating amounts of material or, physical properties of materials and/or use are to be understood as modified by the word "about". Numerical ranges expressed in the format "from x to y" are understood to include x and y. When for a specific feature multiple preferred ranges are described in the format "from x to y", it is understood that all ranges combining the different endpoints are also contemplated. By "Hair oil composition" as used herein, is meant to include a composition for application to the human hair to provide nourishment for proper health of hair. Additionally, on application of the hair oil, the hair should be manageable i.e. does not get tangled, should not be too sticky and the hair should feel smooth and silky to the touch.
