Indian oils

[Mrs.Witherup]

:) 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??

[hootski]

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 use coconut oil and I love to use it before my shower,makes my hair nice and smooth.

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.

[Mrs.Witherup]

Has anyone experienced any darkening with any of these oils??

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

Cool, thanks I will!!

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.

Hi everyone! :waving:
I've been researching neelibhringadi oil on some of the other threads here, and it seems there are quite a few varieties, with varying ingredients and levels of effectiveness. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a great neelibhringadi oil that is free of antimony, lead, and other heavy metals that works well for reducing shedding? (And links, if possible ;)) Thanks in advance!

I recommend Kama Ayurveda Bringadi intensive treatment. I think you can get it on the India Abundance site.

I must say I got obsessed with the smell of this oil. I don`t know how much it helps my growth, because I am experiencing a hugely slow growth since taking DE, but this oil drives my crazy, this time in a positive way.

I actually posted the same question in a past thread, as I did not wanted to darken my hair. I must say - it gets a bit darker, like you would have a shade from something above your head. But I cannot say that my hair got darker in generally.

Man, I'm trying to lighten right now! I know all of these oils would smell fab and do a great job taking care of my hair, but the darkness....:rolleyes:
I wanted something a bit heavier than argan oil, which is what I've been using.
Any other blondies tried the vatika??
