Indian hair oils: Dabur Amla and Dabur Vatika

Hi, try using coconut oil its really good for growing your hair i used to use it for several years but thought i should try something else so use vatika oil now although i find it makes my hair fall out loads. It really depends on what type of oil suits you. try the indian menthod of ghee herd thats really really good aswell but only leave that over night or so. otherwise just stick to amla oil otherwise trying different oils may make your hair fall out :smile:

What exactly is ghee herd? I've never heard of it but would be interested to try it :smile:

. I didnt know it made hair fall out, is it bad for hair? I have had a lot of success with amla, although the smell is awful!

Now I understand! There's loads of Indian grocery shops where I live so i'll definetly have a look, thank you :smile:

. I really recommend amla oil, its done wonders for my hair! I keep it on overnight and my hair is so shiny afterwards!

I used to use the Vatika oil and it's pretty good. It's basically coconut oil, infused with some Indian herbs and I actually think it smells quite nice! It's really cheap so I'd give it a go :smile:

Coconut oil is generally amazing for your hair anyway. Only coconut oil and argan oil actually penetrate through the hair shaft to strengthen it. My mum swears using it since she was young has helped stop her hair from going grey too and apparently there are studies which support this. Her hair is still fully dark brown at fifty so who knows? Anyway, yes, I recommend it though coconut oil is just as good IMO.
