7 Best Amla Powder Recipes for HairTo catch up on the earlier articles in the series, head on over to:-

Amla powder is one of the most recommended Ayurvedic herbs for natural hair care and when incorporated into your hair care regimen, it can promote healthier hair growth.

The recipes only require a few ingredients. If there’s an ingredient that doesn’t work for you, let me know in the comments section and I’ll make substitute recommendations.

  • Set aside to cool down then strain out the amla oil and store in the squeeze cap bottle.

Use as a scalp massage oil 2 – 3 times a week. You can also mix it with aloe vera juice and use it as a pre-poo.

5. Amla Powder Anti-Dandruff Recipe
