Black Amla Powder for Black Hair & Hair Growth – Sun-Dried Whole Amla | 100g

Our black amla powder is made from whole amla fruit, sun-dried in the open until the flesh turns dark, then de-seeded and ground. That slow drying is what gives black amla its deeper colour, and its traditional use for naturally darker, stronger hair.

Amla is the richest natural source of vitamin C in the Ayurvedic tradition, and it is the classic herb for hair — used for generations to reduce hair fall, slow premature greying, and add shine and strength from the root.

What It Does for Hair

• Supports natural hair colour and helps slow early greying
• Strengthens hair from the root and reduces breakage
• Nourishes the scalp and helps control dandruff
• Adds shine and softness with regular use
• Deepens the colour when mixed with henna or indigo

How to Use It

As a hair mask: mix 2–3 tablespoons with warm water, yoghurt or curd into a smooth paste. Apply from scalp to ends, leave 30–45 minutes, and wash with a mild shampoo. Once a week.

With henna: add 1 tablespoon of black amla powder to your henna mix to deepen the colour and condition the hair at the same time. Works with our Rajasthani Mehndi and Indigo Powder.

In a hair oil: steep 2 tablespoons in warm coconut oil for a few hours, strain, and use as a scalp oil.

Black Amla or Ordinary Amla Powder?

Same fruit, different drying. Ordinary amla powder is dried quickly and stays pale green-brown; black amla is dried slowly until the fruit darkens. Both condition and strengthen, but black amla is the one chosen when the aim is darker hair or a deeper henna result.

If you want the plain version, see our Amla Powder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it dye my hair black?
On its own, no — it darkens gradually and deepens your natural colour. For actual colour, mix it with henna or indigo.

Can I use it every week?
Yes. Once a week as a mask is the usual routine.

Does it dry the hair out?
Amla can feel drying on its own. Mix it with curd, yoghurt or oil rather than plain water if your hair is already dry.

Is it the same as black hair dye?
No. It is a single herb powder. For colour, see our Natural Black Hair Dye.
