A few weeks ago I posted a picture of the self-care kit that I got from Alchemy Oils on Instagram. Since I got the kit, I was trying everything out, and decided to write a review on the Alchemy Oils Amla Hair Remedy. Last year, I did a couple of reviews on the Alchemy Oils products and was generally impressed with the quality of their oils and this year Alchemy Oils have redesigned the packaging of their products.

A little about Alchemy Oils
Alchemy Oils specialises in creating effective, natural hair care solutions and hair oil. Combining the age-old Ayurvedic practice of hair oiling from India; where they use oils in scalp massage (which increases blood flow to the scalp) for a deep conditioning treatment, with Western hair styling sensibilities (oil/serum hybrids to smooth fly aways, add shine and heat protect). The brand also caters for all hair types that includes afro hair.
All of the products are do not contain any parabens, PEGS, phthalates, sulphates, silicones, mineral oil, glycols, DEA or TEA. Alchemy Oils are registered with the Vegan Society and also certified by Peta as cruelty-free.
Alchemy Oils Amla Hair Remedy
Made with a combination of Amla, Coconut, Avocado, and Argan oils topped off with a splash of Lemon Essential Oil to naturally cleanse. These all work in sync to fight premature greying, promote growth and impart a lustrous shine.
Amla, Indian Gooseberry, is a powerful hair tonic known to stimulate the hair follicle to encourage growth. It nourishes the hair shaft, adding strength and sheen, and cleanses the scalp to prevent dandruff, providing a perfect environment for long and healthy hair. Featuring a number of essential fatty acids, Amla oil is known to strengthen the hair follicles and condition the hair. Amla oil penetrates the scalp and can help treat dry, itchy scalp and along with vitamin C, Amla is also very rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants carry anti-ageing mechanisms which can prevent hair from premature greying.
The Amla Hair Remedy is £38 for 50ml, and is available to buy online on the Alchemy Oils website and through many other stockists.
Review
I love the redesign, the new drop bottles are much easier to open, meaning that I won’t have to worry about accidentally spilling oil. In the past, I used amla oil that left a pungent smell that really lingered. Thankfully, I couldn’t smell the amla in this hair remedy, it actually has more of a citrus smell, the combinations of the oils has such a calming effect. The oil does feel quite thick & rich.
Initially, I massaged the oil on my scalp and hair, leaving it to soak in before washing it. I left the oil for about 2-3 hours in my hair. While washing my hair, I noticed that the oil is quite rich and I may have put too much oil on my hair so I washed it out twice.
After washing my hair and drying my hair, my hair was visibly more shiny, and healthy looking. It felt so much more smoother. Even after a couple of days had passed, my hair was still quite smooth. It leaves my hair nourished and has the same high-quality finish as the grapefruit hair remedy. ✨
Thank you the amazing Alchemy Oils team for sending me the Amla Hair Remedy (and the self-care set).

I’ve never tried hair oils before but this sounds great! Great review x
Thanks hun ☺ Honestly you should definitely give it a go, it does wonders for your hair. The benefits are endless and it’s all natural so there’s no worry about damaging your hair. xx
I love love love hair oils, I may have to give this brand a go.
So do I! You definitely should, I’m sure you’ll love it. They do have international stockists, so I’m sure that you’ll be able to buy in in the States. xx
This sounds great! The packaging is so lovely!!
It really is, should give it a go sometime Kayla. It works wonders, especially since it’s winter for you guys xx
I love hair oil as use it pre shampoo as you do. Your results sound great, I will have to give this a try sometime. It’s great that it can be used on all hair types too! If you are saying it’s quite thick, I can imagine a little going quite a long way. Lovely read xx
Thank you ☺ You could also use the oil after washing your hair too, like a serum. I use it before washing because my hair is pretty thick, so I need that extra nourishing lol. And a little really does go a long way, I used Alchemy Oils’ Grapefruit Hair Remedy for 4/5 months before needing to buy another bottle. Would love to know your thoughts on it, if you decide to buy it xx
This sounds amazing! I might have to invest in it at some point. Great post!
Thanks hun ☺ It’s worth the investment! Last year, I used the Grapefruit Hair Remedy from Alchemy Oils for 4/5 months before buying another bottle. So it definitely lasts a long time, and you don’t need to use a lot of the oil for it to work xx
The drop bottles will be great at preventing any waste too. I really like the sound of this and the investment really sounds worth it if it really works. I’ve followed you on Instagram too!
