Okay ladies, I am so excited that I have to post this in all the ayurveda threads I can think of. It's a response email I got from Ekua at http://ayurnaturalbeauty.ecrater.com/search.php?cid=0&keywords=henna, is this service or what?
Here it is:
Hi Agatha,
I'm back in town and have been busy with fulfilling the orders that came in the past few days while I was away. I see your order delivered. I hope all was satisfactory!
Good news (and you should spread the word) ... I should have indigo, cassia, and pure henna (100% henna, no blends) by the end of this month. I received the samples and they are all very finely sifted -- very powdery. This first order is a smaller one as I want to be sure of how well it will be received. If response is favorable, then I will increase the supply.
As for the discount, I know I was going to offer free shipping over a certain amount ordered and I was thinking of 10% off across the hair boards. Still working it all out.
I appreciate you being willing to promote me across the boards. I need the support as there is no AyurNatural Beauty without the support of customers! Any and all feedback is welcome!
Please stay in touch and also, I'm working on my blog for store updates and announcements -- http://ayurnaturalbeauty.blogspot.com -- feel free to join!
And I was recently interviewed by Kinky Rhonnie on her blog. See here -- http://kinkyrhonnie.blogspot.com/2009/07/ekuas-ayurnatural-beauty.html
Again, thank you for your support!

This email was in response to an email I sent her earlier in the week. Everyone feel free to visit her blog spot. I am so excited about the indigo
. That was costing me an arm and 2 legs in shipping charges coming from Canada and I just don't want to pay those anymore
.

Ultra simple night. Washed with NJoi Creations ayurveda poo bar. DC'd with Shescentit Fortifying Mask, followed with Banana Brulee and PC. Mixed Giovanni DLI, KBB Hair Milk and Afroveda Pitta Bodhi Hair oil; did twist n curl by mixing Afroveda Curling Custard and Whipped Gelly. Sealed with vatika oil. Currently in rollers grumbling about having to get under dryer. If I don't, hair will still be soaking wet tomorrow.

Clarified and then conditioned Moist 24/7, then I added a small amount of coconut oil and let hair air dry in 8 flat twists. Applied henna and have saran wrap and two plastic caps on my head. Will rinse in the morning. Henna was mixed with green tea and a few squirts of lime juice.

I would never apply anything to my head that came directly out of the refrigerator. This would close up the scalp pores, and also could affect your health. I consider this a very unhealthy practice. I personally would let it sit at room temp and then sit in a pan of warm water and bring to room temp. Just My Opinion.

Thanks for the tip Mahalialee! I wasn't sure because of the coconut milk. I'll just leave it on the kitchen counter.

OK, I will try that. I am thinking of upping it to every 2 weeks instead of every 3 weeks. Gotta go stock up on more Karishma...so glad I can get it locally, lol

Hmmm, I think I will try adding honey to my next henna treatment too. It's probably best to add it in after the color has released I think. I'll try it that way and see how it works for me.

You're welcomed Shay. Ekua will be adding cassia and indigo at the end of the month. She also just recently added Nupur henna that a lot of the ladies were raving about in another thread. I will be adding that one along with indigo to my next order from her. I need to use the heenara that I bought from ruchita to see if I like it before I do though. I may be needing some more amla powder as well, I'll see how my stash goes first.

since using the shakakai powder mixed with water, alma oil, and vatika oil ive noticed that my new growth is a lot straighter and smoother. i deep condition and do protein treatments weekly and use the gvp version of the chi silk leave in but that shouldn't be doing that to my new growth. Does anyone else notice this? I air dry my hair now and you'd think I was using heat on my roots by the way it looks. The only thing that I would think is drastically different about what Ive been doing, is co-washing and the ayurvedic stuff, because before i started this healthy hair care journey my hair would matt up something bad, now its like nothing. When I get my hand on my camera I'll show you guys what I'm talking about. But is anybody else having this experience?

I used to do this a lot, I think I will start it again when I take down these cornrows.

This is good news. I ordered from her early last week and I am waiting for my shipment. However, I was dissapointed because she did not have the cassia (which is a staple for me) nor the indigo (because I wanted to try it). I have never had an issue though with Ruchita, but I could not get the discount to work this time so I thought I would try something new. If my stuff comes before Wed and it is in date and well packaged, I will try her again.
Yes . . . this is one of the benefits many ladies have noticed with Ayurveda. A couple of ladies decided to transition because of this fact. I have noticed though that some products will make my hair revert, but I have not been meticulous enough to figure out which ones they are.
Once I figure it out, I may very well transition or at least move to 6 month stretches.

Aspire, Ekua sent me an email indicating that she will be bringing in the cassia and indigo at the end of the month. She was travelling last week for a few days purchasing more products and was back last friday. So you should be able to order them from her most likely at the end of this month if you are still interested then.

last night I pooed with my Shikakai bar & cond. with AM. I sealed with Afroveda Shikakai oil, Brahmi oil, and Castor oil. Today I will massage my scalp with the Afoveda Hibiscus infusion & Hesh Shikakai oil.

I did my whole regimen this weekend.
Oiled hair and scalp with EVCO
Made tea of horestail and nettle
Made mix of: amla, hibiscus, shikakai, brahmi, fenugreek
Added the tea to the powders and applied to hair after rinsing oil
Left on for 45 mins with plastic cap
DC'd with J/A/S/O/N NaturalS Henna High Lights and Sea Kelp Conditioners with heat for 45 mins
My hair is lovely, soft, and the color from the hibiscus is beautiful.
BTW: that henna high lights and sea kelp conditioners are great.

I am doing another conditioner mix with neem, henna, and shikakai. This time I also added honey. I hope it comes out well.
