Once mixed, How do you store Ayurvedic powders?

Mixed my powders together ahead of time today, and now not quite feeling up to doing my hair. I may wait till this friday. Is it better to freeze or refrigerate? Will it hold it's nutrients? Don't want it to go to waste Thanks in advance....Anna

Did you add liquid to the powders or did you just mix the powders dry? If you added liquid, either add some vitamin E oil to preserve it and/or use it ASAP. Unless you're talking about henna, the powders tend to degrade quickly if you've added water to them, even if you freeze it.

If you're talking about Sunday-Friday, add some E to the mix and freeze it. For a day or 2, you can fridge it.

Next time, either mix your powders, no water, ahead of time and add the water when you plan to use OR simply do your mixtures right before you use. That's the ideal. To make things for semi-long term storing requires OIL not water.
