Using Amla Powder For Your Hair

If you're looking for a natural way to strengthen and nourish your hair, then amla powder is a must have ingredient to add to your hair routine. Amla powder comes from dried fruit of the Indian gooseberry tree and has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine due to its hair care benefits.

Amla powder is a natural source of vitamin C, calcium, phosphorous and iron. These nutrients are known to help nourish and support healthy hair growth. Vitamin C is specifically necessary for the production of collagen, which is a protein that helps to support hair follicles. This will help to improve circulation to the scalp, prevent hair loss, breakage, damage and promote healthy hair growth. Amla powder can strengthen your hair by tightening the hair shaft, which will give your hair a thicker and fuller appearance. It also contains natural astringent properties that help balance the scalp's pH and prevent excess oil production, reducing dandruff and flakiness of the scalp.

You can use Amla powder for your hair in a couple of ways:

• Mix Amla powder with water and create a paste.

• Apply generously to the scalp and hair.

• Leave it on for 30 minutes

• Wash hair with mild shampoo

Or

• Mix Amla powder thoroughly with coconut oil

• Apply to the scalp and hair as a deep conditioning oil treatment.

• Leave it on overnight

• Wash hair with mild shampoo.

Amla powder can be used on color-treated hair and as much as a few times a week, however it's best to do a patch test on a small section of your skin before using, as some people may have a sensitivity to the powder.
