how to make amla juice for hair growth - #43266
I am really struggling with my hair lately, feeling super frustrated and kind of lost. A friend mentioned how amazing amla juice is for hair growth and that I should try it, but honestly, I have no idea how to make amla juice for hair growth or even what the right way to use it is. Last week, I did some research and bought dried amla powder, but the instructions I found were confusing. I thought I could just mix it with water, but is there a specific ratio? Like, how much powder do I even need? I also heard that fresh amla is better, but where do I get that? Sometimes, I even wonder if there's a difference between amla juice for hair growth and just using the powder directly. Do I need to do anything special to the juice before applying it? And how often should I use it? Once a week or more? My hair has really been thinning out, and I just feel like I need to try something natural and effective! Would love some insights on how to make amla juice for hair growth properly and maybe even tips on how to use it in my hair routine. Thanks a bunch!

Making amla juice for hair growth is relatively straightforward once you get the hang of using either dried amla powder or fresh amla fruit. Let’s tackle it step by step to ensure you’re on the right track.
First, if you’re using dried amla powder, you can indeed mix it with water, though there’s a particular ratio you might find effective. Typically, take about 2 tablespoons of amla powder and add approximately 1 to 1.5 cups of water. Stir this mixture until the powder is thoroughly dissolved. It’s best to allow it to sit for some time, around 15-30 minutes, so the nutrients become more bioavailable. You can strain out any undissolved particles if you prefer a smoother liquid.
Fresh amla fruits are often considered more potent due to their higher vitamin C content and active enzymes. Depending on where you live, you might find fresh amla at Indian grocery stores. If you do get fresh amla, wash them thoroughly before use. Cut them into small pieces, removing the seeds. Blend these pieces with a little water to make a smooth puree, then strain through a fine cloth to get the juice.
As for using it in your hair routine, whether from powder or fresh juice, apply it directly to your scalp, focusing thoroughly on areas of thinning. You can leave it on for about 30-60 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. This helps the scalp absorb the juice’s nutrients.
For frequency, starting with once or twice a week can be beneficial—more isn’t necessarily better since overuse might irritate the scalp. Monitor how your hair responds, making adjustments as required . Be patient, as natural remedies might take time to show results, typically around a few weeks to a couple of months.
Don’t hesitate to combine this with a balanced diet, rich in proteins and essential fats, as enhancing hair health from within is crucial. Remember, if you have any scalp conditions or allergies, it’s wise to consult with a healthcare provider before starting new treatments.
