Any Naturals/Transitioners using Ayurvedics?

[Platinum]

Just curious. Are there any naturals or transitioners using Ayurvedic products? I'm transitioning, 24 weeks post and I'm trying to incorporate my Indian powders into a regimen. So far, I have Brahmi, Amla, Shikaikai, and Aritha powders.

My question is how often are your using these? Are you experiencing problems with tangling or shedding? Please help!

TIA.

Hi Platinum!
I am 24 weeks post too and I've been using Ayurvedic powders twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays ) for roughly two months now.
I have NO PROBLEMS with excessive shedding or tangling.
I always pre-poo with oils overnight before every other wash. Before rinse, I detangle.
As long as you detangle (fingers and/or widetooth comb) you will be fine.
Also, be sure to deep condition after every wash!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask/pm me!

Transitioner (about 18 months post) here who uses Amla oil (weekly in my DC) and Shikakai powder 5 days per week using my Shikai-CoWash - the recipe for this is in my fotki.

I do not have excessive shedding or tangling issues.

I know that MsCocoface is a natural like 4b who uses Indian products and is getting FANTASTIC results!!!

Hi, I'm Transitioning and I use Amla Gold as a pre poo.
I don't use any of the powders.

I do have a Shikakai bar but I've only used it twice.
I really dislike the smell.
