A rich source of vitamin E, it strengthens hair roots and thus encourages healthy blood circulation. Amla also contains essential fatty acids that repair cell damage in the scalp and therefore promote healthy growth of the follicles. The oil also contains pectins and phytonutrients that further build follicular strength while improving the overall appearance of our hair strands.

Which is better for hair growth?
There cannot be any comparison between the two as both promote hair growth and clean the scalp when used twice a week before washing. However, hibiscus oil has a tad more benefits attached to it, as the oil promotes hair growth and protects our hair strands from the harsh UV rays, preventing us from skin cancer and premature greying. Hibiscus treats dandruff as well and adds a subtle shine, acting as a natural conditioner and moisturiser.
