    Question Indian oils

    I've been looking at some Indian oils and would love to try some, but the one I was looking at says it darkens your hair, and that is not something I want!
    What is your favorite Indian oil? And how do you use it??

    My favourite is amla oil, I buy it from HennaSooq. I love it!! I pretty much just use it on my length, applying it to freshly washed and wet hair. It makes it soft and silky!

    I love Neelibrighadi oil. I place a few drops on overnight before washing out in AM with gentle shampoo. It seems to make my hair come in thicker.

    I like Vatika oil. It's mostly coconut oil, with some additional herbs thrown in. Smells lovely and does a great job.

    ETA: I like to put in on to soak in a few hours before washing my hair. Sometimes I also use a very small amount to help control frizz after my hair is dry.

    Oooh I love learning about new oils! And if it darkens the hair even better - I have some bleached ends that I want to darken to my natural color.

    Look up Dabur Amla hair oil on Amazon, there's a review on there that says it makes your hair darker And it's pretty cheap too IMO

    I've been using a lot of indian oils for a while and I can't say anything about darkening. My favorite ones are neelibhringadi and now hennasooq's cocoveda oil...the latter is basically her version of vatika.
