Pure application

The great advantage of amla is that it can be used separately as an independent drug. Such procedures are recommended before washing your hair. For short hair, it is enough to take 2 tablespoons of oil, for long strands, the flow should be increased depending on their length.

By adding amla as the main or additional ingredient, a significant enhancement of the cosmetic effect can be achieved. The frequency of use and the duration of the course are the same as for pure oil.

All masks from amla are applied to dry hair, wrapped in a film and a towel. To obtain a positive result, it is enough to withstand the mask for 30 minutes, but the longer you hold, the more nutrients the nutrient mixture will give. Therefore, if there is time, then it is better to leave it on curls for 2-7 hours.

In the treatment of oily hair, the application of any mask begins with the roots, and for dry and brittle hair more attention is paid to the shaft itself and to the ends - they must be handled most carefully.
