Amla Powder and Vatika oil

I wanted to share that I am going to try something new. I was looking into henna but didn't want to order online so i went into this Indian store called Bombay Spices. I ended up purchasing Amla Powder. I guess it darkens the hair and is supposed to aid in the health of it. On the back it says: Promotes hair growth, controls hair fall, cures scalp infection, controls premature greying of hair. I also bought Vatika Enriched coconut hair oil. I was gonna try both tonight but first I wanted to know if any of you have tried it.... If so please share what you did and how it worked for you.

P.S. Happy memorial day weekend!!

I tried Alma powder for the first time yesterday with henna and didn't notice much difference in my hair. I also tried the vatika oil and it is thick but thought it was too greasey for me. But everyone's hair is different. Hope this helps.

I really like Vatika oil. I use it mixed with KC Knot today to do my twists (it doesn't have enough hold to do use it alone). I also add it to my conditioner when I DC. I used it to seal as well. The smell isn't great, but it dissipates after awhile. I know a lot of people pre-poo with it, too.

Hey Thanks. I Shampooed my hair and after that it was completely stripped. I thought that applying the amla powder mixture would like condition it. It was hard to put in with my hair completely stripped. I'm not sure what i will do different next time. I got the stuff in and let it sit for like an hour then rinsed it out. My hair was soft and my curls were more defined. I am deep conditioning it right now. I guess i felt like I wanted it to be more moisturized. SO I will DC over night and see what happens.
