Mesmara Amla Powder – Natural Hair & Skin Care | 125g

Amla Powder is dried and finely powdered Indian Gooseberry. Revered in Ayurvedic tradition, it has been used for thousands of years as one of the most valued and nourishing herbs in India.

Also known as Indian Gooseberry, Amla grows on the myrobalan tree, native to India and Burma. It's traditionally valued for soothing effects on skin and for nourishing hair when used as a natural conditioner. Dried Amla, ground into a fine powder, coats and nourishes the hair and scalp, and a homemade Amla mask can add texture and volume to your hair.

Amla For Hair

Basic Amla Hair Mask

You will need: ½ cup Amla powder, ¼ cup warm water, a small bowl, a shower cap and shampoo.

1. Scoop ½ cup of Amla powder into a small bowl and add ¼ cup of warm water.
2. Whisk together until it forms a thin paste. If it's too thick, add water slowly to thin it out.
3. Apply to dry hair, scooping the paste with your fingertips.
4. Massage into your scalp and hair roots using circular motions, then work through to the ends.
5. Pile your hair up and cover with a shower cap. Leave on for 15–30 minutes.
6. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, then shampoo and style as usual.

Repeat this treatment every two weeks.
