I Used Amla Oil On My Hair And This Is What Happened...

Audrey Victoria: Hiii guys! I have a new video, my pamper routine! Watch it here ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvrJLEm6Y0E

Aditi Gupta: Hey Audrey , I'm from India we are using this oil from centuries. Anyway there's a quick tip from India - many Indians actually eat amla or its juice on regular basis but in small quantity like a spoon or less. It actually have so much vitamin c which helps in hair growth very quickly .

Amel Al-Dousary: In the Middle East, we've been using Amla oil since we were little kids. It was a once a week ritual before washing our hair. The other thing we used to strengthen our hair is olive oil. My sisters and I always had thick hair that reached our butts.

Beth Eshete: The Amla powder didn’t work for you because you didn’t use it as an oil nor did you evenly distribute much of it in your hair. They sell pure amla oil, with no other oils or dyes in stores so maybe try that instead. It also takes more than one use to see results.

Ruhi P: Tip: Heat the oil and let it warm a bit before applying to your hair, helping it penetrate better.

Ronja Sebastian: Tip for the smell (+ also make sure you get PURE Amla Oil which smells great): Add in drops of essential oil of rosemary to stimulate hair growth + natural DHT blocker. Lavender essential oil, tiny bit of peppermint oil, or whatever your fave hair growth essential oil is. I personally like the smell of the amla oil. Maybe your particular brand just smelled strong because of all the strange additives? I use the Amla Oil from SVA Organics = 100% Amla Oil and NO mineral oil. (You can get this one on Amazon too.) No idea why yours contained mineral oil with is basically petroleum = seems kinda whack and unnecessary. So yes, I agree that the one you used has "harsh ingredients", but >> pure Amla Oil doesn't. I'd be curious to see a video with your experience of pure Amla oil without the weird additives, if you care to give it another go and use the real thing. Anyways, gonna go and do an Amla Oil treatment now and head to the beach while it penetrates! :) Love from Costa Rica

Isabella Demarko: great video! i enjoyed it. Your hair is so freakin beautiful already though <3

CommentReplyEdit KHJM: I’ve been using Amla oil for 9 years. It’s done wonders for my hair.

Blurryink: I’d recommend using a nozzle to apply the oil, less drip, less mess speeds up the process and really helps get any oil into the scalp

tanya dakshy: Smell bothered u because u applied almost a month's hair oil in jus one go

A Mechealle: When I was little my best friend was Indian, they lived next door. They had a ritual where their Grandma would massage the children’s hair all the time, I had hair to my knees and the grandma would call me over to do my hair. My hair always looked great. I love my Friends family. P.S. the food is mind blowing too!

Ethereal de pokum: When she was running her fingers through her hair in the shower. I was shocked when I didn’t see any hair fall out. I literally lose half of my hair in the shower.

Dancing Appaloosa: Amla oil has been a popular hair treatment for a long time, and I probably used it about 13 years ago. However, I used it a few times and genuinely saw no benefit from it. My hair is extremely thick and naturally curly, so it's prone to dryness, and I didn't really find my hair benefited from it as it was too heavy. My hair responds much better to hair masks and conditioners that have been designed to penetrate the hair.

R: I used that oil when I was in middle school, I remember this made my hair so so shiny, but at the end I also realised that this was just from the mineral oil. Today I just use regular coconut oil with lavender essential oil in it, or with patchouli essentiel oil (Love the smell of both) for pre-shampoo, when I have scalp issue I put tea tree essential oil in the coconut oil ( I have scalp issues since I take an immunosupressive treatment for MS ) Tea tree works great but it stinks so much

Sukanya Sona: Amla powder is to help in growth of new hair specially for ones who suffer from hairfall... It doesn't do much for hair smoothening and softening. But its powerful for hair growth. If you're using amla powder and water , you can just rinse with water instead of shampoo since it can be drying.

Tamara: It’s easier to thoroughly wet your hair first, then apply the Amla paste. I often mix Apple Cider Vinegar & water into the powder when I make the paste. I prefer the Ayurveda herbs rather than shampoo. It can be a little messy, but I’ve had great results.

Sanjeeta Heralall: This low key makes me so mad. People used to bully me for years about using this oil in my hair. And now it’s a trend smh

Suprana Sengupta: I'm also from India and have used the oil before..I think the amla oil can be avoided..but incorporating amla in general for hair and health care is great.. not necessarily amla will make ur hair smooth and silky, but it does help in healthy hair growth and keeping away grey hair.. many Indian women have long, luscious hair and amla is an ingredient in many of our diets

Ilhaam Mohammad: Mustard oil is a better alternative because It’s fragrance free and dye free which is better for hair

Nomtoy: You can use olive oil mix with castor oil. After 2,3 uses you will find the difference.

Berenice C.: Im mexican, I live in Sweden and I found Amla oil here. I love the way it smells. but I find it hard to remove it complitely.

It’s Me: I’ve been using this oil since 2007 i used many different oils but honestly this is like the BEST oil i’ve used my whole life, everyone should try to use it

Hajar h: My mom used to put this for my hair when I was little, and I had the longest and thickest hair ever. This brought a lot of memories .

Anjala Ahmad: Ive been using amla oil for the last 30 years of my life. It makes my hair so soft and shiny, and the growth is amazing. I use Dabur Amla oil.

Alesha K: Your hair is already beautiful. I see a big difference in the before and after video! Your hair looks like it had more volume, thicker and shinier than the before video.

elinao: Looking at the ingredients my guess is that the amla oil you used was a cheap version. For example Khadi Amla oil's ingredients are: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower Oil) · Emblica Officinalis (Amla) · Eclipta Alba (Bringaraj) · Bacopa monniera (Brahmi) · Cyperus rotundus (Nagarmootha) · Symplocos racemosa (Lodhra) · Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) · Azadirachta indica (Neem) · Sesamum indicum (Sesame) · Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor) · Lawsonia inermis (Henna) · Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Almond Oil) · Tocopherol (Vitamin E). There's no mineral oil, fragrance, alcohol, colourings, etc.

Auntie D Ramey: So using all different treatments for your hair, which one do you think worked the best?

Sasha Massey: Yeah, the fragrance is rough. I usually mix it with a lighter oil and some jasmine+Lemongrass. It's works awesome in my hair!

Domenica Laraspata: I recommend you Khadi's Amla oil which has natural ingredients instead of Dabur's. In fact Dabur amla oil has paraffin as one of the first ingredients

valentina s.: Hi: For Growth: Do you trim your hair every few months? How much time do u go without a trim? What would u recommend?

murtee16: My mum used to use this when we were kids and the whole house would smell of it. Back in the day it was good but now its full of chemicals so would not recommend it anymore. Best thing is to get 100% Amla powder and make your own oil with infusing with an oil that suit ur hair.

Bhawna Rao: 1. Direct application of Amla powder with water can cause dry scalp so it's better to mix it up with some oil and then you can apply it and it will serve the purpose. 2. Yeah, Amla oil smells way too strong so you can heat the oil and then apply like hot oil massage, coz after heating it losses a bit of the fragrance so it will work for you. Hope so 3* Your videos are just mesmerizing and I binge watch them on Sundays Love from India Keep posting such hair care videos ❤️

rinu Cart: Thank you... Amla oil is awesome for hair. But Dabur Amla might not be the best choice which has mineral oil, colors and i think fragrance. As an Indian, blessed with gooseberries everywhere we make it at home with virgin coconut oil and other herbs added.

Gargi Biswas: Happy to see, Indian culture is going around everywhere in the world now a days.... and yes, girl.... your hair is fabulous itself . Okay note one point: Natural ingredients take a lil longer time to show better and stronger results as they don't contain chemicals. Suggest to use a natural product atleast for a month to get a result which you can really notice. It will not only strengthen your hair but also will increase the hair growth. But need to have patience and have to be consistent with the usage.

RoyalBrenda: I’ve been using this stuff for years and it’s the real thing! It’s so amazing, and it makes my hair grow like a weeeeeeeed

hannah: i can tell you put a lot of work into this video to make it perfect- the editing, the voiceover, the visuals- so good and high quality!! love your channel Audrey ❤️

Snowthemin: I’ve used this in the past and to be honest, yes, the scent is cloying and overpowering to bare (I have sensitive sense of smell). It also makes my scalp feel oily and heavy. Good to those who likes it and I’ll just stick to my apple cider vinegar rinse

Its Fiffys Life: I grew up with Amla oil and stopped using it years ago. I'm on the Amla journey again and I love this stuff!! Great video!

Sarah: I wonder what would happen if you mixed the Amal powder with something like avocado oil or almond oil instead of water. Maybe there would be a difference?

Arham Atif: I've been using it from my childhood... and it's amazing totally nourishing...

Zaara K: Here's a tip, you should heat up the oil in a glass bowl, the hot oil applied to hair increases the blood circulation a lot and it helps to nourish dry, frizzy hair. You should try it. also, leave the oil in your hair overnight in a braid, it gets absorbed much more and is better than leaving for just one hour.

Meryl Gonsalves: For applying any paste on hair, use a coloring brush

Sheridan: I love using this oil as well . It smells good and it darkens my hair colour and strengthen s my hair .

True Lines: Amla is good for health skin hair and all u can see difference after 1,2 months if u want strong long hair

Stacey .B.: When I was a baby my mom used this on my hair a lot, now (at 13) my hair reaches my knees.

Raven Moon Troche: I have been using Amla oil for like 4 years. I love it. I have curly hair and it helps with my frizz! I love the smell too!

sana shaikh: Rather than applying oil and amla hair mask because it’s tooo messy.. You can just drink amla juice.. that’s what I do.. it’ll make your hair healthier and skin better as well if you drink it regularly… We have a tree of India goose berry so I make it fresh every day and drink it in a shot glass.. but there are many good brands that’ll give you amla juice which doesn’t have any preservatives.. 1 shot a day is good enough.. you can Google it’s benefits as well… ❤️❤️❤️ Love from India

R. A.: I'm an Indian, and I love this oil. Smell, colour, everything! However, yes, no one in my family loves the smell though. :/

River Vlogs: Amla oil is no secret it's been around awhile now,I've used it multiple times over the years & it's really good :)

March: There are old people in India who use Amla oil(not necessarily this brand) and have no greys till about 50 and thick, lustrous hair. People even consume this. This berry tastes amazing. Maybe use pure Amla oil next time. Also try Bhringraj oil, you will NOT regret, it's proven to increase hair density. And fenugreek!

Saranya L: I have been using Dabur amla oil from ages ! The hair fall is because u used too much oil. Just little oil would be enough , this oil gives u shine and also darkens your hair and helps grow your hair . U can also mix with virgin coconut oil to get better result , me being a Indian from childhood we use this oil by mixing it with coconut and castor oil in proportion of 1:1:1 .

osakizen: ive been using this for months, the smell really is strong... but im seeing great results and it really moisturizes my hair. im also close to not having dandruff anymore ^^,

TheDailyChaiLatte: In India there hasn’t been a time when i washed my hair without oiling it overnight. That’s a compulsary thing.

haikyuu: I had this oil when I was little my grandma always put it in my hair when I went to school It benefits so much my hair was long ,shinier,and thicker.

Mazia Rashid: The video is about amla oil, Indians: We have been summoned.

Nupur Bhargava: You have beautiful hair. I got curious about your use of Dabur Amla Hair Oil. Yes it has mineral oil so its not advisable to use. However we have Wow Amla Hair Oil in India which does not have mineral oil and is also easy to wash off. It's free of harsh chemicals..worthy a try. Amla is definitely very good for hair when used over a period of time

a49: I love your breakdown and the process, i LOVE that you didnt stop the video after the first product then tried pure Amla, i needed this content!!!❤❤❤

Danielle Contreras: Thank you for sharing your research and doing a review with just the powder!! Before I clicked I was like oh no that has mineral oil but wanted to see your thoughts lol I have been wanting to try the powder

chihchang: I use to use this when i was younger. Great for making hair thick and luscious.

Random Channel: Amla powder won't work on your hair. It's mainly for your scalp. It's very effective in getting rid of dandruff, but you need to use it at least for a month.

deepa choudhary: Hi , Audrey for starters you only need 1/4th ( quantity that you put in the mason jar ) , 2nd you can take a tea spoon of gooseberry powder with lukewarm water everyday it’s rich in antioxidants n vit c and best as it works from inside.

emaan zulfiqar: Y'all don't even know the precious memories and joy attached to these home remedies and hair oils. I'm a Pakistani and when I was little I remember my paternal grandma and maternal grandma(whenever I visit her) both would but shitt loads of oil in my hair to the point where it would be dripping off of my forehead. I would be screaming crying before all of this that I don't even wanna put it in my hair. I remember they would put this in my hair under sun on an open porch or on tarrace and the whole neighborhood would hear my screams and after that at night or the next day when I would take shower and my hair would feel so luxurious and soft and healthy and I'd whipping my hair back forth and pretend like nothing happend. I miss those days .

Momlife: I’ve used this oil all my life. As long as I can remember. My mom used to put Amala oil on my hair when I was as young as 2 years old.

d' ecolife - Jóias com Histórias: For the amla powder, you should apply a whole more product for your amount of hair and mixing it with warm water (not boiled!)! I am not really surprised that you did not notice that much change ... it should be generously covering your hair length! This kind of package that you got is usually good for 1 or two appliances... :) Also I find that lighly humidifying your hair prior to application helps with the product soaking in!

pia madison: Great video. Thank you so much. Can this oil be applied safely on bleached blonde hair?

K Mcleod: ​ @Audrey Victoria Use the oil. Not the powder. It is also used to help grow hair on a regular basis. There are brands that do not have those 'other' ingredients.

Ashley: You should have bought 100% pure amla oil instead. It's sold on amazon. It doesn't have mineral oil or any other ingredients, just pure amla. That way you would have gotten more accurate results.

Magda Krzyzanowska: Amla Oil is very good. I have been using it since 2015 and it helped me grow my delicate hair. It didn't cause any damage. It's fantastic!

Riya Gawde: Am I the only one who likes Amla hair oil smell?? Ik I'm weird

GGP: When using the amla oil DO NOT USE THAT MUCH... only small amount. Like a teaspoon. If you use too much its super strong. Too much of things is BAD. lol One hand full is enough for long hair. Otherwise, good trial. ^^

RUnDerscoreuser: i’ve been using amla oil since i was a baby it’s so good!

Sarah J. Kim: What if you mixed the amla powder with oil (like coconut or safflower) instead of water

Lily Ngulube: My mom used to use Amla on my hair. It's my favourite memory of us when my mother used to oil my hair

Vanessa G.: When buying oils for the hair, look for organic and cold pressed. This ensures there are no filler ingredients or anything harmful to be absorbed by your scalp. It's certain brands that use fillers. You can use the powder to infuse your choice of oils sans the grainy mess. I use a combo of amla and methi infused oil which helps with post partum hair loss and to stregthen hair.

Anika C: I appreciate how thorough you try to be with your videos. But, it’s a mistake to make such a broad judgment about amla oil solely based on this experience. Your experience is from using a cheapened commercial version of a simple traditional recipe. I’d suggest you try real amla oil, which amla fruit extracted into sesame seed oil. I would suggest you try the version from from nature with love. It’s two ingredients: amla fruit extract and sesame seed oil. I don’t work for them, they don’t reward me with anything, but I’ve been pleased with their oils for many years.

Shivani Sinha: Great I'm from India and yes we swearby amla for haircare, but the thing is you have to be consistent for the mla powder to show results BTW the vdo was great

Angie B: I use the dabur amla hair oil with jasmine and the smell is sooo goood so if you’re concerned with the smell but still want the benefits of the oil, it’s a good alternative

taylor gazella: I use the thali hair method and I can’t tell you want you did wrong. If you want to blend the paste into your hair, you need your hair to be slightly damp to help run it through.

Emerald Coppersprite: Hi, I'm from India, and people here use this oil but it contains a heavy dose of mineral oil, and of course, the perfume. So, it is best to use pure Amla oil or one mixed with bhringraj. It does wonders for hair growth with regular use.

Saira's Creations: I love this Amla hair oil, love the smell as well that means its made from real Amlaz. I gone through thyroid cancer, I lose many hair but because of oil and other natural treatments I still have pretty health hair.

Akansha: You are right! Indian hair oils straight away from companies contains high amount of mineral oil, that's why they cause hairfall . Same happened with me.. it took me around 5 years to found the correct oil that suits my hair well.

Ibrahim Bashir: This oil is really lit ❤ It is hugely popular in Pakistan also Amla is such a wonderful fruit ❤

Itsnaaj: It doesn’t smell tht bad , it’s the most amazing oil

Pramma Gunio: Wow I didn’t even know it became a trend! I remember spotting the oil last year because of how affordable it was. Ever since then I’ve loved using it. It’s one of the only few oils that doesn’t make my scalp itchy.

Samia Hassani: You should section your hair and apply small amounts of Amal powder to each scalp section

Joshua Ben Joseph: Honestly what you used was a cheap quality Amla(Gooseberry) oil....with mineral oil, dyes perfumes etc. You can actually make your own Amla oil by infusing or steeping dry gooseberries or the powder of the same in your choice of cold pressed carrier oil. So what you used was something that was basically 90% mineral oil. Plus you did use a month's worth in a single use, around 5 tablespoons does the trick. Stay awesome and happy hair days for life :)

Fariha: I used amla juice (from direct amla) for my hair, it helped me regrow hair so fast! I donno about amla powder of company, maybe those are not pure BTW, Thanks for sharing your experience.

Laxmi G: Mix amla powder and curd ..let it set for 5 minutes then apply on hair...in this way one can reduce dandruf as well..

Disha Mahajan: Hey, I'm an Indian and I love your content. I use Amla oil many times and it makes my hair voluminous. As you mentioned, that it has a strong smell, yes it has but I think you used a lot at once. You should have applied about 6-7 tablesoon spoons only. And the powder is something different because it doesn't have proper ingredients. Amla oil of any other brand would make your hair look good and creates more volume.

Rosh S: Audrey a suggestion. Use plain yogurt to make a smooth paste with the amla powder. Apply this paste to the scalp and not the hair. Leave it on for a half hour and then rinse and shampoo as usual. You will get the same softness in hair without the mineral oil

Amu: Hi Audrey.. another Indian subscriber here. I can't get myself to use amla oil due to the smell. Try using this amla powder by mixing in you regular coconut oil or olive oil. It works way better that way.

GB Z: The smell is wonderful...it’s great for hair. Ancient Indian secrets are the best...should stay a secret though.

allthebitchesgotoheaven: Audrey you look so pretty, I'm a Indian and I've been using this since my childhood but the pure version that we made. Btw did you colour your hair because the colour of your hair is sooooo beautiful!

Maisha Choudhury: When alma oil has become a thing but us Indians have lived with it our lives

Lashana Gomes-Cornelius: I actually love this oil and the smell...It is a great oil and it does grow your hair.

lahari shetty: You can make a hair mask out of amla powder and yogurt. Mainly for people with dandruff

Komal Nagda: I would say that you have applied that oil wrongly ...because ...its a oil first of all if you want proper result just take a lil amt of oil and apply it on your scalp ( not the length of your hair) and massage it.... DONT USE SO MUCH OF OIL...

Lee Donghyuck: ever since I was a baby my mom been using this for my hair and it's the only thing that works for me

J: You should have problem with Moroccan oil pdts too if u have problem with this. Moroccan oil products just contain huge amounts of silicones. All the shine smoothness everything is silicone. Those molecules are too big to actually do something to your hair. They just sit on top and cause build up. The amount of argan oil in it isn't even enough to work let alone show results. These infact affects hair in long run despite regular clarifying. Mineral oil has a very similar consistency and effect as our normal sebum production on our scalp. So it can actually work just okay. Just like your clarifying shampoo has some 'toxic ingredients' but wouldn't really affect you.

Rare pearl: Takes time to work mam. Mom used it for 3 weeks. She had very thin hair and after 3 weeks omG, her hair was way thicker and softer and shinier.
