I am using this oil for the last few years and I didn’t face any issue with the hair oil. Believe me it is one the best amla oil. For best result before applying oil, heat the oil in a small bowl to make it slightly warm. Then apply the oil on hair. this is not specific to amla oil but for any oil. I like this oil because of affordable range and I don’t feel there is any side effect. It does have mineral oil in it. But I didn’t face any hair problem due to it. Dabur amla oil is easily available in market and it is easy to clean this oil with herbal shampoo.
