Question 1

Whats the difference between the 2 Amla products? Like one has gold written pictured with brown hair and the other box is pictured with black hair?

Accepted Answer

As far as I know from experience..... My understanding is that the black hair picture is for those who have dark hair.  This oil is a dark green colour.  Do be careful which one you use.... the oil that has the picture with back hair WILL make your hair darker if you have light hair - this  happened to my daughter- she naturally has medium brown hair and she used the oil that has the picture with black hair a few times and it changed her colour to a permanently darker shade.  She was not happy.  I can only assume the brown hair picture is for people who have light hair.  The oil is light green shade.

Question 2

Are you supposed to wash it off? the instructions don't say to but i used it and looked like i'd dipped my head in a chip pan! or did i use too much?

Accepted Answer

Ayurvedic hair oils such as this  have to be used in a specific way. Pour  an ample amount of oil to a bowl, you can warm it up slightly if it is not Summer. Dip your fingertips into the oils and massage your scalp gently, with circular motions. This can be a shorter massage or you might continue for 5-10mins, until you used up the oil in the bowl (this amount depends on hair length and thickness). Focus on your scalp without scratching then spread oil on entire length of hair & tie it up if longer. Leave oil on for 1hour -overnigbt under a cap or sg. Wash out using shampoo twice or more, depending on the porosity +dryness of your hair. The result will be thicker, shinier ,healthier hair with  increased growth from the combination of massage &plant  extracts  in the oil.  
On very dry hair, a tiny amount of the oil can be also used to tame frizz or dry ends.  
Hope this helps; I have been using the oil for years ,usually leave it on overnight or during housework then wash out +my hair looks v healthy & thick despite of my age (40) & previous hair issues (thinning and looking flat ).

Question 3

Is this safe for coloured/dyed hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is, try to massage on the scalp with the oil  it will not impact your dyed/coloured hair, instead they looks more shiny.
Thanks

Question 4

what does this smell like? Is it different from the normal dabur amla?

Accepted Answer

If you mean the original Dabur Amla oil (black & green box )
 then this one smells much better ,like a light perfume not stinky at all!
