Hi pierre,

I just found an artical that says:
Amla is the primary ingredient used in one of the most renowned
ayurvedic herbal formulae, called: Eclipta Alba.

The juice of the plant is used in a tradional Indian recipe to not
only darken the hair but to improve hair growt and reduce hairloss.
It's also found in the tropics.

Eldery women use a herb decoction to rince hair since the plant
possesses a bluish-black dey.
And they say: There is no need for white hair as long as eclipta is
available.

Do you know more about Eclipta alba?

My source was:Natural ingredients for colouring and styling from the
International Journal of Cosmetic Sciene.
