Does Anyone Still Use Amla Oil?

[LaNecia]

I was so anxious to use them and did, earlier. I'm thankful that my hair did NOT turn red. My henna is the Reshma brand and says 100% natural and can be used for body art or as a hair conditioner.

I used all of the powders that I mentioned previously, (twice as much Amla) mixed w/ about 16 oz. of hot water (too much). I used half of the mixture and put the rest in the fridge. I put several plastic caps on, worked out for 1 hr. and took care of some other things for another hour. I rinsed and used DDTA (deep conditioned w/o heat for an hour).

My hair felt super strong. The ends were a bit stiff, but that went away after I used S-Curl spray and some oil. My hair feels great! My SO asked if I had dyed my hair. I said, "Uh, oh! Is it turning red?" He said, "No! It looks black!" Yay! He said that my hair was shiny, as usual, which is good b/c I heard that henna is very drying and makes the hair look dull. I'm very pleased and will be doing this, again.

Thanks so much for all of your help! (((hug)))

I'm so glad you had awesome results with it!! This is a DEFINITE keeper in my regimen!

I used Dabur Amla oil last night for the first time, the smell is a little strong but I can deal w/anything if I can deal w/MTG, lol, I used it for my roller wrap and I must say it's a keeper , hair was soft and light, not heavy at all. I will be watching to see my results of growth and hopefully my hair will darken.

That's awesome!!

I've been using a Dabur Amla/EVOO mix for pre-poos and moisture for almost 9 mos., I think.

Well, I tried something new today: a coconut milk with oil mixture I'd read about on this forum and another. Let's just say I'm going back to the Amla oil next week.

I got my first bottle of Dabur last night, and put a teeny bit on my ends. They smoothed right out! It smells strong, but I actually like the scent. I plan to use it for pre-poos; it's kind of heavy for daily use IMO.

Oh yeah, I still use it. Nothing can replace my amla. Nothing!

ETA: I use pure, unscented amla from FNWL.

I'm so glad that you started this thread! I was trying to do a search, but some of the info that I know that I read in the past year, or so, did not appear. I used Dabur Amla Hair Oil and it did make my hair stronger and darker, which I love. I ran out of it awhile, ago and didn't buy anymore. I would like to make my own, but don't know exactly how.

Thanks for sharing, I so wondered about this. I have used the Dabur brand as a hot oil treatment twice and I noticed the same results. After the second application I found myself wondering if it was me or was my hair darker and stronger. I am loving the shine without the greasy
feeling.

I use it and love it!!! I use a moisturizer first then seal it with amla oil. I love the unscented one from From Nature With love. I also have the Dabur amla light

I posted this in your thread too, but I use it on my braids. My hair is not the same w/o it.

Sareca, how do you use your amla? Daily, or just as a hot oil/prepoo treatment?

 

[God's Anointed]

I've used this and it's pretty good. It did seal my ends after adding moisturizer and i guess i'm the different one but i like the smell. Honestly, it's not that bad to me. Which reminds me, i need to restock on this oil soon!!!

 

[sareca]

i use the organic amla oil from www.fromnaturewithlove.com... it does not contain mineral oil.

I use it exclusively. It's good stuff.

 

[dlewis]

I have used it for years and I love it, I use the Dubar with mineral oil but I'm gonna try the kind from FNWL when I use my last bottle.

 

[january noir]

I DO, I DO!

I still use it (with or without mineral oil!) and still love it!

It's the best stuff on earth!

 

[facets]

i love it, i had to stop because of morning sickness(the scent is too strong), i might go back to it in a few weeks.

I have Dabur Amla Oil and it smells like circus animals...erplexed

is it this one?

 

[princesslocks]

I still use it. I use it mostly when mixing my henna. The scent sometimes makes me a little

 

[Lotus]

Dog on it! I just picked this up today... didnt notice the mineral oil- shoot! Maybe if I'm careful not to get it on my scalp... I'll be alright. Or if I use it as a pre-poo or something. *laughing at myself*- How is it I went in to get chapatti and such and came out with hair products. Shame, just a shame.

I agree. I just cant stand the smell of mine.

 

[good2uuuu]

I use Dabur Amlla oil. I guess I'm the wiredo because I like the smell.

I thought I was the only one. I like the way it smells. It reminds me of the grease my mom used to use on my hair when I was a kid before she would press it.

 

[deltagyrl]

is it this one?

YES!!!

 

[sareca]

Does Dabur irritate anyone else's eyes? When I sleep in it I wake up w/ sore, itchy eyes. That was part of the reason I switched to unscented.

 

[HoneyDew]

I don't like the smell either. I only use it in my herbal conditioning mixes so the smell rinses out when I rinse out the henna, cassia or whatever I am using.

I am not sure I will repurchase, though. I like the thickness of it compared to other oils, though. We'll see. I have 75% of the bottle still.

It didnt irritate my eyes Sareca.

I'm with you good2uuuu...I too like the smell of my Dabur Alma oil. I really luv the soft and conditioned results of my hair. I leave it on overnight twice a week. This is a keeper

I am usually very sensitive to smells (thats why i gave away my salerm 21 & MTG ) but this doesn't bother me either.
