Hopefully, this weekend I will be able to purchase my list of powders & oils locally and start. I am looking to purchase the following: Hesh aritha, maka, neem, shikakai, brahmi, and amla powders along with Ramtirith brahmi oil. I was able to find sesame oil at a local mediterran store here in Memphis but they did not have any of the other oil/powders.

There is an Indian grocer in Cordova that carries the oils and powders. I haven't been there in a few months, but they are usually well stocked.

Awesome....thanks so, so much for replying. By chance, is the name of the store Indian Imports? If so, that is the one I plan on going to. I sure hope that they have the powders and oil I want b/c I really do not want to order online(trying to only use/buy products locally in an attempt to save money).

That's the one! That's how I found a couple of stores here...although I ended up buying products from one that an LHCF member told me about, that wasn't on the list.

I have a thin watery paste of amla, shikakai, brahmi and kalpi tone powders sitting on my pre-oiled hair now and will follow up with a DC mix of Joico Color Endure, Mizani Moisturefuse Conditioners and some hot evoo. I think I will be doing a beer rinse as my final rinse today too.

How much of each powder did you use? Or do you pre-mix all your powders? I'm trying to shore up my measurements...I always find myself either mixing too much or too little.

I used:
2 Tbs Kalpi Tone
1 Tbs brahmi
1.5 Tbs amla and
1/2 teasp of shikakai
I added about 3.5 - 4 cups of water to itogether and let it sit for an hour to steep.

The Cordova store is excellent! THey even agreed to ship to me in MS.
I know when I went, they had just gotten a shipment of mahabhringraj oil in that Tee had requested.

OK, so yours was not a thick paste. I think I need to add more water to mine to stretch it out some. I also wasn't letting it sit, so I may try that. Thanks! I have all those powders...last time I used shikakai, brahmi and amla.I just ordered the Kalpi Tone for the first time, so I'm gonna have to snag this recipe.

Go for it sweetie
. It really added some strength to my hair. I attribute that to the kalpi tone and shikakai powders for sure.

Let me know how you like it Imoan. I may take out the shikakai powder and add bhringraj or hibiscus petal powder next time for a more moisturizing rinse. I will update on what I will be using next. I have a few recipes I want to try and I'll list them here as I use them

That's good, I actually received my products today along with a note apologizing for the delay. She also gave me a larger size of the oil I ordered. Although I didn't like that I was told about the move after I waited at least 10 days without a shipping notice. I do appreciate her fixing the problem, but I did suggest that she post any expected delays in advance to avoid negative feedback and to keep her customers happy.

Me too....I'm so excited. I haven't tried any powders yet. I think I'll start slowly by adding the powder to my daily co-washes.

I'm dcing with ORS, AM, TJ Nourish spa, Suave Humectant, Bhrami, Bhringraj, and Hibiscus. This is my first time trying the Hibiscus, Aggie raves about it and I can see why. I think my hair is gonna turn out really soft.

Would you order from her again? I don't want to risk it but I really want some powders which are harder to find

Cassandra that would be great!!! I printed out a few threads to see what I need to get, there was a lot of info. I'm not sure about where to begin.
I will make it my goal to find a store and maybe the store clerk can help me find what I need.

I have mixed feelings about this, On one hand some of the members have had a few issues with this vendor. To my knowledge they have all been resolved. Usually after posting in here or filing a dispute. However there have also been members who have reported fast service and they are satisfied with their products. Plus she offers a discount to LHCF members. Although I couldn't get this to work for me.
So to answer your question, it would be a maybe. If I continued to see good reviews I might be tempted to order again. My products did ship fast after I received my notice and I was overall satisfied with my order. I suggest paying with paypal with any vendor just as a back up.

Hey ladies, do you think it would be alright to add alma powder to my conditioner and water braid spray? I want to start using the powders at a greater frequency. I dont feel like I am using them often enough.

Definitely, many people here use the powders in conditioners and daily spritzes. Longhairdontcare has a good tutorial on adding the powders to conditioner and we usually infuse the water with powders for a spray.

I did order a box of Kalpi tone since it will be my first time trying it, so do you use more of the kalpi tone than the other powders? If kalpi tone has everything in it why use other powders?, how often can you use Kalpi tone? Sorry for all the ?? still learning about Kalpi Tone
