OMG!! That's beautiful yet scary looking at the same time!
Just goes to show we're all into hair...it spans across every nationality!

I'm not an expert or anything but what I know of Indians is that their hair regimen is pretty simple. I grew up among them and I still live in a predominantly Indian neighborhood and I see that kind of hair everyday.
They usually wash and condition with basic drugstore shampoo and conditioner (the cheaper the better cause a $20 bottle of conditioner will last one wash :lol: )
Air dry and coat the hair with coconut oil, put it in a braid or bun and go. The more modern Indians get their hair blow dried and flat ironed once a week at the salon and trimmed about once a month and their hair is still pretty long.
Indians are blessed. If you take a strand of their hair and hold it between your hands and try to burst it it's like trying to burst wire. You're more likely to succeed in cutting your hands than bursting that strand.
 
I wish I could get that kind of strength in my strands. Sweetcashew, do you know what they use to strengthen their hair, is it purely genetics?
 
I know I had a "most-beautiful-hair-I've-ever-seen-shock" every day when I visited India! Every woman had the most pretty, gleaming, shiny, super thick and healthy hair. It was amazing! I had to turn my head in every direction just to catch those super long braids, thick as my arm...:eek:

Not to mention that some of them stepped out of shacks in the ghettos and looked as if they just had a shower at the Hilton! I admire all women who struggle and still come out beautiful like that.

My grandmother, who was also a beauitician, used to travel to India alot. (It's a long story) Anyway, she would always bring back some powdery stuff to rinse our hair out with. I'm not sure what it was, but was reddish in color, and smelled really good. It our hair really soft. I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
 
Years ago, I used to work with a lovely Indian lady who had hair almost down to her ankles! :eek: She wore it in a thick braid most of the time, and I remember begging her on more than one occasion to wear her hair down, because I thought it was so pretty.

This is my favorite picture from that site, so far:

I had the same experience in India. One of my friends there told me that longer hair is more traditional there, but now that it is getting more influenced by western culture, women are cutting their hair more.

I was in India for an entire summer, and I never saw a woman with bad looking hair, even if it wasn't long. It was always thick and shiny.

Soapnut by any chance?
 
The weird thing is a LOT of Indian women have naturally frizzy/curly hair. When i was little i thought that all indian women had straight hair. How wrong i was:lol:
 
*LOL*

I have an Indian coworker who gets a relaxer on the REGULAR, because her hair is a bit kinkier than she likes.

I wonder how much of the strength/shine is from using henna?

*makes a note to check out other indian hair herbs*

They use henna all the time, don't cut their hair, just trimms, oilling and scalp massage, eat fresh foods-fast food ouside the US is a luxury so poor people may not eat alot but they eat right, no pressing and no heat and no chem's period.
I have freinds who are Indian and don't do the traditional things to their hair, I've met Indian girls and guys who relax their hair to get the straight look, don't use oil shamppo daily and MY hair's longer than theirs and they've never had a super thick butt-length braid. FYI: most Indians actually have naturally wavy hair and brush it straight, then curly/kinky type 3-4 hair, then naturally straight hair is the minority but it's what they were told to like by the Vikings when they started the caste system way back based on them white-blonds with straight hair being the highest then mixtures inbetween, royalty then the original black indians with kinky hair and dark skin at the bottom. Whites and Asians have been mixing with Indians for centuries upon centuries to get the look they have now

That site was so cool! There are some beautiful heads of hair on there, thats for sure!

I was reading thru it and, dang, those women who run the site are not happy that "modern" women are no longer keeping the tradition of long hair. I was also :eek: at the link to where "long haired women only" can sign up to find a husband. :look:
