Hi Ladies!
Well I finally got to purchase some of my Ayurveda stuff this weekend. The guy was really nice and said he would order the other products I wanted. I'm going to keep going there since it's close to my house and the people were nice. This is what I bought:
Amla Oil (need to take this back though b/c it's the one with mineral oil in it)
Methi Fenugreek powder
Neem powder
Shikakai power and shikakai soap
Amla powder
Vatika oil
Parachute coconut oil
So yesterday I clarified to start me off with a clean slate and DC'ed with ORS Pak. I then moisturized my hair with the Profective in the green tub (root health) and sealed with the Vatika oil and baggyed. Today when I woke up my hair was soft because it was still wet so I put some more Vatika oil on it (I thought to seal in the moisture from baggying). Well by the time I got to work, my hair was dry and it still feels dry
. Anyone have any recommendations? I've been going through the monstrous 'Ayurveda Support' thread but I don't want to have product overload and use all the powders at the same time. Most ppl are posting their recipes but they seem to have 50-11 ingredients. Instead I'm using each powder one at a time. I plan to cowash 5 days a week and no sulfate poo/DC twice a week. I made a moisturizing poo using Dr. Bronner's and coconut oil. Would this still be drying? My mom is even actually interested in using these products (and she's been anti-LHCF since I started)! She's relaxed (every 5 weeks, I'm trying to get her to stretch). Can anyone recommend a really basic reg for her? I'm thinking she'll let me wash it once a week. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'm also drinking the fenugreek powder to increase my milk supply. Does anyone know of a better way to dissolve the powder? I've tried acai juice, hot water and room temp water and I always get grit that just sits at the bottom of the cup.
That stuff is bitter as all get out!
