Yay!! I'm so glad you found a supplier where you didn't have to wait until the 12th of never to get your products.By the way ladies, my Karishma, kapoor kachli and amla order arrived today from ayurnaturalbeauty(ANB.com) - TO THE BAHAMAS!!! In ONE week. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I still can't believe it. Now I can't wait for the weekend to come so I can henna my hair.
I ordered on Thursday, she shipped on Friday, and they got here yesterday. I wasn't home when the post office tried to deliver, so I picked them up today on my lunch break. Talk about fast!

Oh yeah
! Now the next thing I want Ekua to add to her site are some more choices of the main oils we use like brahmi, amla, bhringraj, and shikakai oils. I would also like to see her add some hibiscus petal powder. When she brings in the indigo, I will be ordering about 6 or so at first to see if I like it, and go from there. I want to try a couple of Nupur henna too.

You better tell them to get ready for LHCF and stock up!By the way ladies, my Karishma, kapoor kachli and amla order arrived today from ayurnaturalbeauty(ANB.com) - TO THE BAHAMAS!!! In ONE week.

Aggie, I'm getting some cornrow this week and need to know how are doing all this without messing up your braids? My hair gets frizzy very fast so I'll be getting some small cornrows and never had them in for more than two week but I need them. I'm not getting much growth which is probably from too much manipulation of washing more than I used too.

thanks honey but I already told Ekua about us and she said that will try to work on getting us a discount code and free shipping over a certain amount. I will check on how she's coming along with that soon and report back as soon as I have word.

I am in the "hide your hair" challenge so what I do is have my niece flat row my hair going back in 6 big rows and I wear my wigs over it. It is not really exposed and I try to redo them every 2 weeks. I only undo them to henna my hair, do ayurcowashes, and properly DC, then have them redone.
I am also attempting to stretch my texlaxer a whole year so I definitely can't afford to manipulate it too much. I will be getting my extension braids installed on September 3rd, so I need to really strengthen my hair before getting them installed. Now while I am in extension braids, I greatly reduce how much I wash my hair to every 10-14 days.

Got my KT today from AyurNatural. Everything was fresh. I mixed my KT and Amla tonight and will be using tomorrow in a quick cowash. I am so happy to have my KT back.
Dont you just love KT, my sister came over yesterday and I caught her sneaking two boxes of my KT, and I call myself hiding it from her, lol my mom txt me this mornng saying she wanted to try KT since I and my sister keep talking about it.... I cant handle this (not my KT)
OH I spoke with Euka too and she said if people let her know the things they want her to get she will try her best and that she is working on getting more oils but not sure of all the names so let her know ladies...

Oh I did not think you could be doing all this with braids. I'll have work something out, I've never had braids longer than two weeks the hair makes me itch so I'll probably just oil/spritz with my products and do a rinse with mild shampoo mix. Thanks

Yes you can DC overnight as long as you use a moisturizing deep conditioner. Yes you can do so with natural hair as well. I lay it on thick but you really don't have to. It's just a preference for me

Does anyone have a review on the Hairveda Shikakai bar yet? 
I've been thinking about buying one, but I'm also playing with the idea of making my own soaps, so I can make them as yummy as I please,
plus I could save a few bucks by using up some of the powders I already have.
