Apply Amla Oil
Amla oil is used as a treatment for dry; thinning and graying hair. The oil comes from the fruit of the amla tree, grown in India, where it is regarded as a sacred embodiment of Mother Earth. Trees were worshipped for their rejuvenating fruit, which is said to have 20 times the amount of vitamin C than that found in orange juice. Applying amla oil to your hair provides it with a protective coating and a healthy shine. The steps below tell you how to apply it.
Steps
- Part your hair.
- Pour some of the amla oil on your head.
- Massage the oil into your scalp thoroughly. You should feel a cooling effect.
- Allow the oil to get down to your scalp. Some advocates call for wrapping your head in a warm towel for an hour or leaving the oil on overnight. Others simply say to wash out the oil an hour or two after use. How long you should keep the amla oil in place depends on the brand you're using.
- Rinse your hair thoroughly. You should notice the shine in your hair immediately.
