GATHER INGREDIENTS
To make amla oil, you will need only two ingredients 1/2 cup of amla powder or 1/2 cup of freshly chopped amla and one cup of sesame oil.
COMBINE AMLA POWDER AND OIL Mix
1/2 cup of amla powder or 1/2 cup of freshly chopped amla and one cup of sesame oil in a clean, empty jar.
SUN INFUSION
Place the jar in direct sunlight for approximately 2–3 weeks. The lighting of sunlight helps the oil absorb beneficial properties from amla.
SHAKE JAR
Rub the jar lightly every day to make sure that there is an even spread of amla powder in the oil.
STRAIN OIL
2-3 weeks later, strain the oil by passing it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to get rid of amla powder residue. Squeeze out the most oil you can.
STORE
Transfer the amla oil that has been strained into a dark-coloured bottle to save it from light, which can cause damage to the oil.
APPLY TO HAIR
Before using the oil, ensure your hair is freshly washed. Apply the amla oil to your scalp and along the lengths of your hair.
LEAVE IT ON
For better absorption, allow it to stay in the amla oil for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
WASH
As usual, wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Use the amla oil treatment at least once a week for the best benefits.
