Vatika Naturals Amla Hair Oil – Nourishing Herbal Oil for Stronger, Thicker & Shinier Hair – Enriched with Amla Extracts to Reduce Fall, Strengthen Roots & Promote Healthy Growth – 500ml

This product will not stop hair loss although it may say so. This just conditions your hair to be more elastic and smooth. Lessen the breakage of hair...it also makes hair appear slightly darker in colour. Who knows why hair falls out. Hereditary issues, vitamin deficiency, hormones and my favourite !!!STRESS!!!.Im indo guyanese with wavy frizzy hair naturally. This works to tame my hair...you oil the hair thoroughly top to bottom. Leave on 1hr to overnight. I leave for 3-4hrs and wash my scalp well with a really cleansing shampoo and condition as usual. I noticed people complaining about the scent. Its a medicinal oil smell, indian gooseberries...i dont think its that bad...for me it works. I havent cut or trimmed my hair in over 2 years and it doesnt have split ends or looks dried out. I think for anything to work you need consistency.... I wash and oil my hair 2x a week in the summer/ sweaty months and 1x a week in the colder months.If anyones interested in other indian hair oils...Ill break them down for youVakita Cactus oil smells amazing and it heavy weight its meant to be used before shampooing. But you can use a few drops on dry hair to tame.Vatika Black seed oil smells great and can used as a leave in after your hair is dry to tame frizziesVatika Garlic oil smells sooo good like lemon and rosemary , heavy weighted and can be used before shampooing. And after a few drops on dry to fight the frizzies.Mahabhringraj hair oil is a medicinal oil you use only on the scalp to help with dandruff. You must wash it out.Navratna oil is for cooling and tingling of the scalp..meant to help with waking up the scalp. Must be washed out.Ive used all these oils and they all have their benefits. You can mix them as you like. I use mahabhringraj oil on my scalp for dandruff and the rest of the hair gets amla,garlic, cactus depending on my mood...Im going to tell you the best indian hair advice I know to growing out your hair....oil it faithfully & always keep your hair secured ...like in a bun with spiral bobby pins or an octopus clip or a braid with no tangle bands. It shouldnt be too tight, but firm. Its keeps hair from snarling and breaking. I know its not superstylish but it really does save your hair especially if your going to grow it out to your mid back or to a longer length and beyond . And when you do wear it out on occasion all the girls and boys will envy your soft gorgeous long hair...Ps in the pic my hair is oiled and awaiting its shampooing plus i like this pose reminds me of a troll doll.

no hair oils seem to work for me but my hair has gotten longer & thicker using just amla since the end of 2023. i had a small afro like oct 2023 today my hair is past my shoulders flatironed ! my hair had never been so full & healthy

I haven’t used it enough to testify, but I’m sure it’s good; 1st time I used it, I left it all night since the smell is very strong; i prefer other fragrances.

I love the hint smell of this oil. My hair doesn't look too sticky like other oils when I use this. I have been using this one or twice a week and my hair has grown smoother, looks shinier and I have noticed less hair loss. Would highly recommend this.

It smells strong but it really grows your hair

I’m absolutely floored by this oil. I have type 3c/4a hair and majority of my life my hair has been recovering from a perm, dry, brittle, broken and heat damaged. I big chopped in 2017-2018 and eventually achieved longer, thicker, luscious and primarily healthy hair (i box dyed it to a lighter color in 2018 and 2019).Unfortunately, I started working at a fancy job and decided to straighten it for 6 months without properly caring for it. Afterwards, I traveled the entire summer in heat, still straightening it, and eventually fried it. It started falling out more, thinning, breaking easier. It really scared me so I cut it. All the color out all the damage. Once again, started straightening it and damaged it some more. At that point I decided to just chop all the damaged hair out no matter the length and now it’s thin, see through and limp on the left side and thick, curly and healthy on the right. With one more silk press my hair has become its utmost driest and weakest.So, this is me restarting on my hair and it’s proper maintenance again. I went from mid back length to above shoulder length hair. I’ve been struggling to find a way to keep it moisturized and this oil was a REAL game changer. I’m mixed; Samoan, Black and White so my hair texture has always been extremely dense at the roots, thin at the ends, dry and itchy (especially without proper moisture and maintenance). However, using this oil in my hot oil treatment it absorbed so quick and easy. I heated up the oil for about 20mins and sprayed rice water on my hair before applying the AMLA oil. My hair ate it right up. I’m now sitting under my heated cap 20 mins later writing this review. I have high hopes for the turn out after i’ve washed my hair and can already tell it’s going to be so soft and moisturized (of course with proper maintenance and styling). Also I love the smell, it smells great to me idk what everyone’s talking about lol. It is very potent though, so if you’re not used to potent spices or smells this can be intense.If you have low porosity hair make sure to DAMPEN your hair before applying and massaging otherwise it’s just going to feel greasy and dry. Make sure the oil is hot too, make sure your hands are warm, make sure everything is heated but not too hot. The products sink into your hair like butter.Highly recommend this oil. Now thinking of using other products recommended by them to use in their hair care routine.

I will update after 12 weeks of using 3x a week! After 1st application I can say it is very greasy, as expected and the smell is not favorable. If it works I will tolerate the smell. I left it on overnight. Directions say to leave in your hair at least an hour.

I am glad that I ordered this product it didn't only oiled my hair but allowed it to smell really good and feeling rich
