Takeaway
Everyone can benefit from Amla extract. You can find Amla extract in Dr Locs’ color treated conditioner. One of the worst experiences is when you experience dry and broken locs. Amla can help prevent breakage and thinning because it will support your hair, especially after you color your hair. Coloring the hair lifts the hair’s cuticles and dries it out tremendously. We need something to support our hair after we manipulate it with color. Coloring frequently can potentially damage our hair, and temporarily damages the hair’s cuticles. Amla strengthens the hair and adds that support you need to keep your locs looking and feeling healthy and soft.
