Amla Powder for Hair: Nature’s Beauty Secret
When it comes to plant-based beauty, amla (Indian gooseberry) is a must-have in your natural hair care tool kit. Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, this tiny berry has been a staple in Ayurvedic wellness for centuries—and for good reason. Whether you're looking to enhance your henna hair color or brighten your complexion, organic amla powder does it all.
Amla for Hair: Strengthen, Soften, and Balance Color
Amla powder pairs beautifully with henna and indigo in your natural hair dye routine. It not only supports rich, long-lasting color but also cares for your hair at the same time.
Cool Down Your Color Naturally
- When mixed with henna and indigo, amla helps create cooler brown tones, reducing the warmth in your final color.
- When used with henna alone, it tones down the bright red, giving a deeper, more subtle shade.

                 How to Use Amla with Henna or Cassia
DIY Henna/Cassia + Amla Paste
- Mix: 25g of amla powder per 100g of henna or cassia
- Add: Distilled water until it forms a paste with the texture of mashed potatoes
- Rest: Let the mixture sit at room temperature covered (68–72°F) for 8–12 hours for full dye release
Pro tip: Henna and cassia release their dye best when mixed with a mildly acidic liquid (like diluted lemon juice, levender or rosemay essential oil) or a fruit acid powder like amla. This method keeps your hair color rich, even, and fade-resistant—and over time, it will deepen into a more natural-looking tone.
