Amla is a boon when it comes to curing almost all hair problems like hair fall, hair breakage and greying. It is a fruit that is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that nourish your scalp and strengthen your hair follicles.
It helps in the production of melanin which is responsible for your hair colour.
Apply amla oil or amla paste on your scalp and leave for 30 minutes. Then, wash off with a mild shampoo.
Another way to utilize the goodness of amla in taking care of your hair is eating the fruit as such or drinking the juice of it. This wonder fruit takes care of many of your health problems including hair related issues and helps you achieve glowing skin naturally.
