Never had any problem with the Coconut oil!
And that's the Amla I use as well. I think FNWL has a different oil, I've never purchased from them so I can't verify. One thing I have noticed with Indian products is that you do have to check the expiration date.
bklynwildheart said:FNWL's Amla oil is very different from Dabur's. FNWL's Amla has a very strong herbal scent; imo, Dabur's Amla smells more floral/perfumy. Dabur's oil is also green and thicker, whereas FNWL's oil is brownish in color and thinner (it's Amla in a sesame oil base). In fact, I find that Dabur Vatika and FNWL's Amla smell similar...
VWVixxen said:Thanks for the review! FNWL's oil is lighter than Dabur's? Wow!...I will not shop...I will not! Nope, can't make me do it...leaving the credit card home today!

beana said:Hi arcadian,
As we all know on this board, everything doesn't work well for everyone. I'm 4a relaxed and I apply the castor/jojoba oil mix to my dry hair prior to styling. I dont use it on wet hair, so I cannot vouch for any results using it that way. Maybe this will help, i use the unrefined TropicalIsle brand and pour maybe a dime sized amount into my palm and 2-4 drops of jojoba oil, rub it between hands to mix and apply... My hair instantly softens and feels so rich and moisturized, yet strong. This mix has also helped me manage my newgrowth without breakage

OT: Do you use the Phyto relaxer too?

Arcadian said:I did indeed feel a difference in how it applied to my hair when I mixed the caster in the jojoba oil. My hair really seemed to like it a lot, but wow, my scalp rebelled. I'm going to try it one more time and see if adjust the ratio of caster to jojoba. Jojoba straight dosen't cause issues at all.
*sigh*
do you know anything about neem by chance?
