Hello Dana, Amla powder is used as a dry shampoo, combined with shikakai, reetha, neutral henna or kapoor kachli kapoor powder, but it can also be used alone as a dry shampoo or mixed with water as a hair mask.

Hi, I prepared this dry shampoo, applied it on my hair and the effect was surprisingly good. I had only one problem, I didn't shake it well out of my hair and the pillowcase got a little colored. The hair volume stayed nice for a few days. Thanks, Elemental! Good job!

Good evening! Following the order placed, I received a Tulsi powder as a gift, so I made the recipe for shampoo with amla and tulsi, testing the products on a scalp with seborrheic dermatitis. One use and the effect was wow! The powders worked better and faster than very expensive shampoos. Thank you!

Hello, I just prepared the dry shampoo recipe and used it and I can say that the effect is wow! The hair looks freshly washed, it doesn't electrify, it's not dull, it gives volume, the effect is clearly superior to other products that I've used commercially, some of them very expensive (150 ron). It opens the hair a bit at the roots and has a herbal odor but not necessarily unpleasant.Thanks Elemental, I will also make masks from amla, tulsi and kapoor powder and I will come back with my opinion.

Back with review. After only one use(of Tulsi powder only), my scalp was cleansed extremely well. It didn't irritate my scalp, it didn't dry it out. Even my hair is moisturized! Before using the powder my scalp was irritated, but after using it my scalp calmed down instantly. Anyone with seborrheic dermatitis on the scalp, don't hesitate to buy. I'm really curious how my scalp will evolve after several uses.

Hello! I have a small question regarding Tulsi powder. I have seborrheic dermatitis on my scalp, kept under control ( as long as I avoid certain oils that would activate the fungus responsible) and I wonder if this powder could have a beneficial effect on my scalp. I am trying to find a solution to keep my scalp clean (deep detox) and moisturized. Thanks in advance!

Hello. Basically, you can replace it with either of the two powders you have available. Possibly, prepare only a smaller amount of the test.
