Vadik Herbs Amla Hair Oil (8 oz) Rosemary oil | Herbal scalp treatment | Great for hair loss, balding, thinning of hair, for beard growth, made with Amla (Amalaki) - Indian gooseberry

This oil is great! At first, I was deterred by the comments saying it is mostly sesame seed oil, BUT, after some research, I found out that is how most amla oil is made, with a base oil such as sesame seed, then the dried amla powder is added to it. This oil really makes a difference in hair softness and sheen. After using a bit in my hair, and twisting it up over night, I noticed a great enhancement in moisture retention and curl pattern. My hair also seems less frizzy, and my scalp feels refreshed. I actually like the fragrance: It has a soft flower scent to it, with a nutty undertone. The scent can easily be masked by an essential oil if one finds it unpleasant. I would definitely recommend this oil.

I just received the Amla Oil in the mail today and was looking forward to trying it. I immediately looked at the ingredients listed on the bottle and they are,in this order:Natural sesasme seed oilAyurvedic emblica officinalis (Indian Gooseberry / Amla)Piper LongumTinospora CordifoliaNatural fragranceI was surprised by the sesame seed oil. I wasn't aware it's good for hair. I Googled it and did find that sesame seed oil is, in fact, good for hair. I also learned that it has hair darkening capabilities. I recall reading in some of the reviews for this product, that it has darkened the hair of some users. I also Googled emblica officinalis and learned its the offinal name for Amla. Was happy to learned that. Always good for Amla oil to contain Amla, right? Then I Googled Piper Longum and Tinospora Cordifolia and I'm wondering why these two ingredients are included. I didn't find anything that suggested they are good for hair or helps hair grow. They are good for many other things like Diarrhea, gonorrhea, syphllis, etc...things you woulndn't think would be synonymous with hair growth. Maybe Bazaar India (the importer of this product) could explain that.I'm going to give it a try and see if there's a difference in my hair by the time I finish the bottle. If there's no difference, oh well. Didn't cost much to try and I won't be buying again. For now, I give it three stars because of how it made my hair feel...very soft and moisturized.

This product has a very strong smell.I don,t usually like fragrance products.I like it coz it has no mineral oil.Its making my hair stronger no spilt end.My hair is also growing.I mix it with bringhay.Other than the smell its a good product and does what it says.Somehow u get used to it.Please Vadik Herbs make a fragrance free Amla oil! that could be great!The price is good too!I gave it a 4 star for the smellUPDATE!So i was using this oil to oil my scalp when i was in braids.I just took my braids out.There is no shedding breakage and my hair has darken naturally strong and grown like crazy!It,s also soft and shiny and detangles easily.Other than the smell which i will be taming down with other oils its a great product.Am odering the big Bottle.Am so pleased with the results!

it has a nutty sort of smell and i don't mind it at all. i put it on at night or in the morning on a day when i'm not going out and leave it in as long as i possible. i have thin hair and i started using this on a regular basis a few months ago. have defintely seen a difference. my hair seems healthier and more "alive". i also use a tiny bit of argan oil after washing. i haven't gone out with it in my hair yet, but when it's in my hair and i pull it back into a ponytail, it looks like some people i have seen in magaizines -- you know -- when their hair is slicked back. looks rather good, if you're into that look.at this point, i just love the fact that my hair looks thicker than it ever did before.

I absolutely love this product. I got it in yesterday and I have a special hair care routine that I do, but I was so anxious to try this product that I just had to try it anyway. I put the oil all over my head, massaged it into my scalp, and let it sit for 2 hours. Then I took a shower and washed it all out. When I was done taking a shower I let my hair air dry and it was so soft and silky. It felt like I blow dried my hair. Once my hair was completely dry I took a little bit, not too much, and put it on my ends and on my body of my hair (not the scalp). My hair was instantly shiny. Warning: don't put too much because your hair will look dirty and greasy. As for today, before school I put some on my ends again and I love how this makes my hair feel. I will absolutely order this again once I run out. I shower every 2nd day because it is not healthy to shower every day, and from now on I am going to put this in my hair for a couple hours before I shower. On other reviews I read about the smell, I personally don't mind it because it reminds me of being a little girl. Let me say that it is a little strong and may take some time to get use to. I think that getting this product is worth getting because you can just mask the smell with some leave in conditioner or something. I recommend this product for people with dry hair that needs some moisture.

I recently bought a new bottle of this stuff (same brand) and it is NOT the same as it was the last time I bought it. The last time I bought this (about 4 years ago), it was pure amla oil and it had an overwhelming smell and was a greenish/blue color - that was how you knew it was real. They have changed the ingredients however and now it's clear and basically just sesame seed oil! In fact, sesame seed oil is the first ingredient listed on the ingredients label. I will never buy this brand again. This new formula does not help with hair growth and does not darken hair like the original formula did. What a waste of money.

Item has an unpleasant smell
