Rave! Dabur Vatika Coconut Hair Oil is the truth!

[baddison]

So before I finalize my order has anyone used the Dabur amla hair oil???

LOL!!!....I was gonna add that to my recommendations too. I use the Amla oil monthly as part of my overnite henna mix. I don't care what nobody else says, but I truly believe this monthly amla oil is the reason why my hair stays darker longer, and the grays that I "should" have are not even here. YUP!! Another Dabur staple for me!

Yeah, I have the Dabur amla oil too and love it .

 

[blackindia07]

baddison & Italiano man...you guys are killing me.... Back to ebay I go....

So how are you guys using it?

 

[sharifeh]

Does hairvedas vatika frosting work just as well for people? Because I love the smell of that

 

[Angelinhell]

What exactly does it smell like? Is it like totally unbearable?

 

[greenandchic]

Yes. I poured mine into an old coconut oil jar so it is easy to scoop out if hardened.

The smell reminds me of old school, drugstore, perfumes from back in the day. It doesn't bother me for long because I only use it for prepooing or oil rinsing.

 

[KiWiStyle]

Ok, that's it! I'm ordering some tonight! I just received my cocoveda coconut oil and I think it's pretty much the same thing but I can't see my self prepooing with it due to the price. I'll use the Dabur Vatika to prepoo instead.

I guess I will add this back to my buying list.

I used it back in the day and enjoyed using it!

 

[NappyNelle]

Angelinhell The scent is pretty light and herbal-y; almost like grass that is drying in the sun. Sorry, I couldn't think of much to compare it to! Thankfully, the oil is not a horrendous or gag-a-riffic scent like some other products I've used in the past.

So I've been using Dabur Vatika Coconut Hair Oil one night before I wash my hair weekly, then I wash it out the next day. It is really good stuff!!

It's making my hair so healthy and growing faster. I love it.

Anyone else use this???

Italiano Your hair is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! And to answer your question, I didn't, but I am about to I just use coconut lime oil from Hydroquench.

 

[Oneprettypa]

I used it in Iraq because I read good reviews on it and my hair shed like crazy and was nasty oily! However I must say I didn't know much about hair so in willing to try it again as a pre-poo.

@baddison & @Italiano man...you guys are killing me.... Back to ebay I go....

So how are you guys using it?

I use the Dabur Amla oil in my monthly henna mix. I mix NUPUR Henna, room-temperature coffee, Dabur Amla Oil, and cheapie condish....that's it. 4 items only. The second Friday nite, of every single month (for the past 4 years...) has been called "dirt night" by my loving hubby who has to sleep next to a mud head...LOL!

Anyway...I sleep with my henna mix, then wake Sat. morn and proceed with a really moisturizing regimen. I am very certain that its the amla oil, and the amla powders in my henna that keep my hair so dark and keeps the greys at bay. This is the only way I use the Dabur Amla oil. Its a monthly thing.

 

[blackindia07]

baddison so the amla oil isnt something you would use daily... only as a prepoo? The fact that you say it keep your grays away has me a little nervous though. My hair is dark brown with reddish/medium brown highlights that I love and dont want to lose. Do you think it would effect the color of my hair?

From prior uses, I can say it did darken my hair but as you can see my hair is black so I'm ok with that but if you have highlights I don't think I would use the amla oil.

blackindia07, Nope...not a daily item at all....only for the monthly henna treatments. I really like the softening and darkening results. Like @Italiano mentioned....after consistent use, it may darken your highlights.

 

[blackindia07]

Italiano your hair is black? I wouldnt have thought so from your siggy...I would say our hair color looks similar. Dark brown with medium brown ends and mixed in through out... Mine is very subtle...most ppl dont notice it until im in the light or especially the sun and all are very surprised by it. LOL

Yeah its black with brown in it though, you're right. Its a mix but I notice w/ the alma it does make it more darker.

Lawd, I just ordered some. I want fab hair too!

 

[auparavant]

I use a vessel with hot tap water and place the bottle in it. Melts in 2 min.

baddison I might try the overnight henna application this weekend because doing it all during the day is just too time consuming AND you don't have time for nothing else. I bought two 5g so I'm good for almost a year, unless I chose to do 2 applications in one month ;-). I store my powder in my extra freezer in the basement.

I remember buying it years ago when I first joined the board but I don't remember using it consistently.. I might pick some up omw home tonight. Your hair is on point.

^^this is me....BUT OP's hair did make me want to go to my local Indian Store and try it again...like... that day. I did a pre-poo before my WnG yesterday and loved it. May be adding again to my staples....

ETA: I massaged it into my scalp and my scalp seems to love it.

 

[offthechainliz]

I use it as a prepoo

 

[blackmaven]

Yes! Yes! Vatika Oil is a great product,been using it for years as a prepoo.

 

[The Princess]

Put the oil on my hair and wrapped it up with Saran wrap while I exercise. Afterwards cowashed with VO5. I noticed a difference with using this oil prior to cowashing. My hair was soft and felt very conditioned. I will use this in my regimen.

 

[blackindia07]

So after getting my Vatika I decided to braid my hair and leave it in overnight as a prepoo. When I took my hair out the next day it was very shiny and soft so I started using it in my braid out. Anyone see a reason why this would be a prob? Does anyone use it day to day?

 

[ElegantElephant]

My hair is dyed a reddish/brown color. Will using the coconut or alma oil darken it???? I really want to use the oils but don't want to dye my hair regularly....I currently dye it twice a year and by the way, I'm relaxed. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I think it will darken it.

 

[hannan]

I just picked this up yesterday and am now seeing this thread . I love coconut oil and hairveda's vatika frosting worked extremely well - I'm guessing b/c of the henna - for me. I'm sure vatika oil will work even better.

Lovely hair, Italiano!
