AMLA AS A HAIR TONIC
Alma prevents
.... Premature graying
.... hair-loss
.... dull, limp and oily hair

How to use:

1. Apply a mixture of almond oil and gooseberry juice with finger tips on the scalp.

2. Boil one cup of dried gooseberry with 4 cups of water. Add a pinch of sugar in it. Keep boiling till the quantity of the liquid reduces to one cup. Mix 2 cups of Mehendi, an egg, juice of a lemon and the gooseberry solution and apply on hair. Wash the hair after two hours.

3.Amla to prevent premature graying:
Take a few amla and cut them into pieces. Dry them in shade. Boil these pieces in coconut oil till the solid matter becomes like charred dust. This darkish oil is an excellent oil to prevent graying of hair. Massaging the scalp with amla oil induces sound sleep also.

4.Amla as a conditioner
The water in which dried amla pieces are soaked overnight nourishes the hair and this water can be used as a last rinse while washing your hair

5.Amla to prevent hair-loss
If you are losing hair excessively on your scalp, a regular intake of amla not only prevents further hair depletion but is also good for hair growth. Also wash you hair with the fresh juice of alma.
