“It has a lot of benefits strengthening, shining, especially growth and thickness of your hair.”
Liz revealed that she applies the oil generously to her hair and then leaves it in overnight to achieve her desired look.
“Halfway through my day today I took a shower and washed it out,” she said. “I did a quick blowout and this is how it came out.

Many people took to the comment section sharing their own experiences of using the oil.
A top commenter warned that it shouldn’t be used on light-colored hair as it will stain.
“Blondes don’t use it! It will make your hair green over time!” they wrote.
Dabur Amla hair oil is available to purchase from Amazon for $8 and has a 4.2-star rating from happy customers.
Many shoppers have penned glowing reviews saying they were impressed by the results of using the oil but warned it has a strong smell.
One person wrote: “I have used this oil a total of three times, and by the second time, my hair stopped falling.
“I would shower and leave behind at least a small handful of hairs, but by this third time that I was washing my hair, I swear I must have seen maybe three strands of hair in total.”
Another review reads: “I love this hair oil.
“Now, be warned, it stinks to high heaven and you probably should not go out in public with it in, definitely ventilate your area, and use a shower cap.
“I start at my roots, massage it in, and work my way down, and then let it sit for an hour to an hour and a half then double shampoo and condition with your regular conditioner.
“It makes your hair so soft and shiny and promotes growth!”
