Amla will not cleanse hair on it's own usually but can be used as a conditioning rinse. It is mildly acidic so makes the cuticle lay down flatter thus making hair shinier.
I use amla powder in a mix with shikakai, bringradj and other herbs to wash hair. The mixes are food cleansers.
There is more in formation on it in the Indian herb article, the link for it is in my signature.
