hi!have you been keeping up with this regimen?how is your hair liking it?I'm particularly curious to find out if you noticed a difference in effectiveness between using rinses as you describe here and using pastes? tiaDaily I oil w/Vatika. On Tuesdays I do a prepoo of Vatika all over & Amla oil mainly on my ends & then I scrub my scalp w/Shikakai oil. I do a rinse w/1 tbsp of each: shikakai powder, amla powder & aritha powder mixed in 2 cups of boiling water. B/c I don't have time to rinse for 20 minutes, I grind my powders w/a mortar & pestle & I also strain the tea. I leave the rinse in for about 5 mins & then I rinse & cond. After I rinse the cond, I do an oil rinse w/regular coconut oil & when I get out of the shower, I use a leave-in.
On Fridays I do a prepoo of several things: amla oil, castor oil, basil EO, peppermint EO, thyme EO, aloe vera gel & some left over Cocasta oil (the majority of the prepoo is the Amla). I leave this on overnight. On Saturday mornings I scrub my scalp w/Shiakakai oil & then I rinse the prepoo out & wash w/my shikakai shampoo bar & then I do a rinse w/1 tbsp each of the amla & aritha powders leaving the shikakai out. I leave it on for about 5 mins & then I rinse & do a DC. After I rinse the DC, if I'm doing a rollerset & flat iron, then I don't follow up w/a coconut oil rinse, I just do a leave in.
I've been unable to find the brahmi powder at any of the Indian grocery stores close to me but I'm going to start adding a tbsp of it to my rinses.
Do you think it's ok to add Ayurveda products to your regiment if your hair is dyed? I feel so limited when it comes to adding Tea rinses, Coffee, powders and herbs into my regiment because I don't want to mess up my hair color and have my hair looking crazy. I'm trying to thicken my hair and was going to add Fenugreek to my regiment, I think that is safe. Thanks in advance!!

MayaNatural Yes but only herb infuses oils or herb powders Not henna it will change the color especially if your highlighted or dyed blonde some herbs make hair darker so check first? Cassia might be ok too doesn't change existing color
Anyone still using Ayurveda? Back on Ayurveda. I'm newly loc'd now so I'll use my oils mainly on the scalp. I'm trying to figure out how to make a good Ayurvedic daily spritz though. flowinlocks do you have any suggestions on making a daily spritz for a loc'd head?
I still use Ayurveda.
I use different powders in my pre-poo and daily I use this oil that I cannot pronounce Mahabhringraj Oil.
I like and have used bhringraj. I know that it is a moisturizing powder that aids in growth. My hair really likes this one. I've never heard of the Jetmansi.I'm reading thru the thread but need a little help with the following powders:
Bhringaraj
Jetmansi
Do you use either or both and how often can you use these?
