Mine is pretty simple

I pre-poo w/ Amla or Neem Oil, Shampoo, then add 2 tablespoons of henna to my conditioner. I let it sit for 45 mins w/ a cap then rinse, apply a cheap rinse out conditioner.

I have been trying to grab notes from different posts here and break down the information...I have not come up with a regimen just yet, but I want to keep it simple as well. I need to get some Brahmi powder. I have a friend who was nice enough to send me some Shikakai, Aritha, Multani, Amla and Fenugreek powders to get started. I just have to figure out what I need to do. I have some coconut oil and I have already incorporated that into my regimen. At this point I'm just trying to figure out something to do 1-2x per week.

There was someone who posted a really simple regimen in one of the many threads on Ayurveda. SHe was just mixing the powders in with 3/4 cup of conditioner. I have the info at home...will post for you later.

Try DenverGirl's method. She mixes the powders with a 32 oz. bottle of conditioner. You can search her posts for the recipe.

Oh, that's really simple. How is your hair liking it? Please explain the before and after.

I found the following post to be very helpful:

Been using henna, indigo, shikakai & amla powders for over two years now and I don't do teas, rinses, boiling, etc. and love the results from my very very simple "dummy" methods:

shikakai = use primarily to cleanse. I have never used this alone. I have never boiled it and made tea or rinse

• When I want to cleanse without using 'poo: Add couple of tablespoons or 3 to whatever condish I'm using to co-wash, stir in until well blended, then apply to dry dirty hair, cover with plastic, no heat for at last 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly, I'm done and ready to proceed to leave-ins, oils, etc. and airdry hair. Note: if you wish, you can do another condish without the shikakai for extra conditioning, but I usually don't . . .

amla = used primarily to condition. I have never used this alone. I have never boiled it and made tea or rinse

• When I want extra conditioning to my co-wash: Add couple of tablespoons or 3 to whatever condish I'm using to co-wash, stir in until well blended, then apply to dry dirty hair, cover with plastic, no heat for at last 15 minutes, rinse thoroughly, I'm done and ready to proceed to leave-ins, oils, etc. and airdry hair.
• When I want to tone down the red in my henna: Add couple of tablespoons or 3 to henna powder, then add warm water and let sit at least 4.5 hours = ready to use for hair coloring

Indigo = used primirily to color.

• Mix with warm water and let sit 10 minutes = ready to use for hair coloring
• When I want to tone down the red in my henna: Mix with warm water and let sit 10 minutes, then add to already release henna for hair coloring

Henna = used primirily to color

• Mix with warm water and let sit at least 4.5 hours = ready to use hair coloring

These simple easy additions have greatly improved my hair without a whole lot of extra work . . .

I basically use the same regimen, except I wash once a week since it's cold and I now use HairVeda products.

Great information.

Great information.

That's the post I was referring to earlier. Very simple and concise.

there's a thread about it somewhere...

good luck, op!

 

[mj11051]

I remembered yours yesterday when I looked at that gallon of Coconut Oil I got from MRH. So I copied the rest of your ingredients and I'm getting them tomorrow. Thanks

OK that is on point! I love the photo demonstration!!

I need to look into that gallon of coconut oil, because buying it here locally can be pricey, for smaller containers than a gallon.

That gallon is only 41.00 and it's 100% Organic Virgin Coconut oil.

Oh wow...I need to go ahead and get one of those. I'm not even gonna tell you what I just paid for 29 oz...

Is the shipping reasonable?

 

[mj11051]

Yes it is.

Oh, that's really simple. How is your hair liking it? Please explain the before and after.

Before my hair would always be dry & brittle, especially the ends. I could run my fingers through my hair always get at least a few broken hairs. After using this simple regimen my hair has swang & body, it's strong but still moisturized. Best of all, no broken pieces. Sometimes I let the henna release color first, then just add a bit to my conditioner. I plan to do it for 6 months straight to see what happens. But so far so good, I am however using a herbal henna which has other ayurvedic powders already mixed in.
