How is amla drying on the hair? I purchased the oil and it's supposed to nourish dry hair.. Is the powder different? I'm confused..hmmm..

[curlmebella]

@ralegria16 yes the powder is different. Its a paste, similar to henna. Its the pure amla plant(ground up I guess) and you add water and put on your hair. In paste form its supposed to thicken strands, prevent premature gray, strengthen hair. Anyway if you dont deep condish enough afterwards it can be drying. Im not familiar with the oil but its probably infused with amla but its an oil so its completely different.hth

Great vid!! I was wondering why my hair felt dry after using the Amla. I'm going to try it again. I should have gotten the powder instead of the oil. I'm hearing all these things about mineral oil. Dunno...

[curlmebella]

Ive heard that the oil contains mineral oil too, I havent tried it. Sometimes I can get away with it, sometimes I cant. Ive loved the powders though. I had my best result when I mixed it with coconut oil. Whenever I do it with just water it is really drying- not too bad but I definately have to deep condish afterwards. Let me know how you like it:-)

what were ur measurements...mine wasnt pastey enough i just used a few spoons of amla with evoo, vit-e oil, and water...it isnt caoting my hair like urs but im keeping it in overnight maybe next week i will have more luck....and it was good advice to coat ur hair in oil 1st something told me to do that but i didnt and the application left my hair feeling a bit dry but hopefully when i was it out i will be ok....do u dt after rinsing out amla?

[curlmebella]

I do, I dt after using it, my hair is a little dry. Its a catch 22 if you use oil in the mix, it cuts down on the conditioning effects of the amla, if you dont use it, your hair can be kinda dry. So I guess it depends on what you want to do. I use about 100 grams, or one full pack and I add water slowly until its the consistency I want. I dont know the exact measurements.sorry.I just keep adding water till its like paste, but I used alot more amla than you.I think what you describe is a rinse.

Thank you, this was very informative...I also mix my powders with Olive oil.

[micaiahty]

I am going to try this combination. Do you still use this as a deep conditioner Ms. Curlmebella?

[TruthFan]

Did you apply the oil and amla/brahmi powders to wet hair? I just oild my hair and realized that I prolly should have rinsed it first. I have henna/amla/brahmi/shakaki/arit­ha powders. For tonight I think I might just use the brahmi/amla mix. Does this also increase growth rate?

Hey Holly... U inspired me again. I finally recorded how I do my amla powder treatments. I thought it was gonna be too messy and mess my laptop up, but it actually wasn't! I posted a vid response to this vid so you can see my application process. Thanks again girl for your inspiration girl.
