I've been meaning to mix some Ayurvedic powders into my DCs. I'll try to remember next time.Morning everyone
This morning I massaged my CP growth oil in my scalp after rinsing out my prepoo.
I then added her henna gloss treatment on my hair and will be leaving it in for 30 minutes, cowash with Rusk Deep Shine Smoothing Conditioner, SSI Marula Mallow Leave-in, Bun and I'm out of the house for a few hours.
By the way, my henna gloss treatment today (using as a deep conditioner today) contains SSI Peach Conditioner and CJ Beauticurls Strengthening Conditioner, hibiscus, powder, brahmi and amla powders as well.
You should. My hair is responding well to this method of care.I've been meaning to mix some Ayurvedic powders into my DCs. I'll try to remember next time.

@Chicoro is right. My hair does appear a tiny bit relaxed but I like the look. Although once dry, it still shrinks a lot.Ayurvedic powders make my hair straighter so I stopped using them. I used to believe they thinned out my hair. I don't think that is the case. I was wrong. The powders 'relax' the curl on my strands resulting in less bulk, and less bushy hair, not necessarily less thickness. The one thing I do love about using them is how they make my straightened hair look. My hair is super black, cottony soft, but with a silky looking strands. I'm back to using a couple of the powders in my regimen. I've been using them since around summer.
Which powders were you using? I'm thinking of using amla and/or brahmi.Ayurvedic powders make my hair straighter so I stopped using them. I used to believe they thinned out my hair.

I remember her posts! Going to research right now!I used shikakai and amla in my conditioner. I used 1 teaspoon shikakai to 2 teaspoon amla mixed directly into my conditioner. I was inspired by Candy_C and got my process from her around 2007.

Giovanni Ultra Moist shampoo
Mizani Thermasmooth in shower
For the oils, I described the recipe here:@Jade Feria ,
How did you make your home made conditioning oils? The only change in your process was the addition of the two powders to your deep conditioner (DC)?

I added the 2 powders and honey to the DC, those were the only changes.
Tomorrow I will be DCing with Kerastase Cristaliste Luminous Perfecting Mask. I am doing an overnight henna treatment and will use indigo tomorrow morning before my DC.
Last night my recipe comprised of 100 grams of Karishma henna, 1 tablespoon each of hibiscus and amla powder for a deeper color deposit, bhringraj and brahmi for growth and strength, 3 ounces of Aloe vera juice, 2 tablespoons of SSI Peach Moisturizing conditioner and distilled water to mix until it reaches a yogurt like texture. Allowed the dye to release for 10 hours in my hot cabbie, then applied last night before bed.What is your recipe and process for the overnight henna treatment?
How do you use indigo the next day?

As far as the indigo, as soon as I washed out the henna this morning, I added it to damp hair from root to tip, wrap tightly in plastic and towel for 2 hours. Then I deep conditioned and styled as usual.

I only added 2 tablespoons of sea salt and distilled hot, not boiling water to my indigo. I let it sit for only 15 minutes before applying.
