I'm also careful about what Western conventional products I use in combo w/ my vedic stuff. I've always found Nature's Gate and most "organic" products found in health food stores far too drying for my hair. I can't predict how it would work w/ veda.
The Jane Cater stuff has several of the herbs/oils used in both the veda bar and the Nature's Gate...so maybe you're overloading there. LOL...maybe you just need a plain ole cheapie and not the fancy stuff to go along w/ it? My IndoPak friends tend to use drugstore stuff and not the $10+ a bottle stuff. Dunno.
As for Vatika, it has several herbs in it which can act as proteins for some people. It has both coconut oil as its base AND henna It also has lemon oil which can be drying for some. In addition, it shares the many of the same herbs the other 3 products have.
When you say cheapie, like a V05? I have a ton of that that I really like...
I think I overdid it with the Vatika oil + the complex poo bar, so maybe I'll try to go real generic around the other products since the bar has so much other stuff in it. Thanks for the insight, sis!
