Is anyone NOT on the Ayuvedic bandwagon?

I really hate the word bandwagon because it implies just that.

I feel the same way--my regimen is getting closer to being ALL ayurvedic except for my sunsilk leave-ins. However, this is after a lot of careful trial and error and thorough research. Natural products have worked for me with my skin and for my overall health--finding out about natural hair care and using it does not make me part of a 'bandwagon'.

People from eastern descent have had beautiful hair and beautiful skin for centuries...i don't see where the argument lies. But that's just my own humble opinion. :nono:
 
I've tried the shikakai oil scalp scritchin thing and it just made my hair shed really really bad. I never in my life had that much shedding not breaking but shedding. It was really scary for me. I did the scritchin 2x a week before i washed and deep conditoned like always. I tried the powders once but I think I mixed that wrong so cant really say if that was any good or not. but that shikakai oil scritchin did work for me with the growth but I have to leave that off because of the shedding. I dont want my hair to be all thin, I rather use MN instead.
 
I'm not.
I use my own products but even it I didn't I'm not interested in using Indian products in any way.
I live among Indians and they're usually the ones stopping me on the street to ask for hair advice :yep:
Most Indians start balding in the 20s. It starts with a receding hairline and a slowly thinning crown. By their 40s they usually have a large bald spot at the crown and extremely thin hair. Must be hereditary but shouldn't their products help with that? Up to yesterday I had two long discussions with two Indian women who approached me on the street asking me about what they can do with their hair and skin to improve it.
To each his own but I'll stay away from the Indian stuff.
 
I guess I have a couple of toes in. :grin:

I've been an occasional user of Amla powder since 2003. I've used Vatika oil but now I prefer just plain coconut oil. :yep:
 
I'm not on the bandwagon.........Trust me I have thought about it. I just can not give up my WGO for nothing. I love the shine and softness it gives my hair and it does not break me out. So many new things pop up on the board. I just feel like if I start jumping on every new thing that comes out I may never stop and it may do my hair more harm then good...plus I am cheap.

"Sigh" I really did not mean what you and a few of the ladies on here quoted about the word BANDWAGON. Maybe I worded it wrong. I myself have nothing against Ayuvedic, I was just wondering if there are anyone else using/following this because of your growth or are they just sticking to there own and also why if not. I myself is still using this.

Please forgive me for stepping on anyone toes. Seriously!:look:

For the record, I didn't get that impression from anything you said. Candy C's post just got me thinking about the word, and why it (the word) can sort of turn people off, in general.

I'm going on record as saying I LOVE your hair butter....just love it. Don't stop selling it...maybe larger size offerings would be nice :)
 
I did admittedly buy the Gro-Aut sample kit this month. I used it twice and went back to my staples since the Gro-Aut shampoo left my hair very stiff after washing. Once I completed all the steps (2 shampoos, 4 oils and a leave in conditioner) my hair was so oily that I washed again 2 days later. Plus my hair had a kind of "spicy" odor.

I still have the oils (almost full) but my husband has locks and intends to use up the oils so I won't toss them out. I may even use them as a pre-poo.

So far a pre-poo (oil or maybe conditioner), diluted CON and Suave Humectant (or Garnier Fructis) are working just fine along with ORS Replenishing conditioner.
 
I am not currently on but that is only because

1. I can't figure it all out oils, rinces, shampoos etc :perplexed
2. No Indian stores near me, when I get a chance I might visit one on the indian store listings.
 
I'm NOT.....I'm just not interested in any new bandwagons...it sounds too complicated....I am keeping it very simple this year :drunk:

I'm not on the Ayuvedic bandwagon because I already have a solid regimen and spent a lot of money recently to stock up on everything I love. I couldn't imagine spending anymore money on products that may or may not agree with my hair when I'm cool with what I've got.

What she said, plus I'm scared i'll have set-backs. My hair is so fragile; I'm not about to loose what I have retained so far.

same here man

"all day everyday, i dont know what else to say!"

Same here. I've tried alot of things being on this board and I've learned what works for me and what doesn't because of it. This works and it's simple for me and I've actually did away with alot of other things so my closet is much cleaner :yep:.

I'm I would like to make my own Jaborandi oil from the Jaborandi leaves so that will be the only thing I will try. <---Though you don't hear peeps talk much about Jaborandi aka Indian Hemp.

Ah...Jabarondi Oil really isn't a part of the whole Ayurvedic family of herbs/oils or whatever. So that's why no one talks about it, lol. Nonetheless, I will eventually make and use it. I read some good things about it and it would be great to use on the scalp before shampooing.
 
I'll try it next year when my hair is longer..right now im just trying to get out of the arkward stage and see some length!
 
I My am willing to add this to my reggie! My hair love natural products. In the past I made hair products myself, I named it love butter. But with school and now work I have not had time! My hair suffered. Now in 08 I am going back to my roots! I plan to but some powders this weekend and wash on Sunday! Wish me luck!
 
I've used them in the past and they dried my hair out, so I stopped using them. Then I came back to the board, saw all the posts about the herbs, and tried it again. Guess what? They dried my hair out again :wallbash: I guess that's what I get lol.
 
I just don't make the time to mix up all those berries and juices. I don't negate the efficacy of these methods, but I like to keep it simple. I used henna a few times last year, but it was too time consuming and messy. Too much work for me.

I know what thing, If I'm adding powders to water, that powder better be flour and if I'm gonna be brewing something, it better be tea... tea and buscuits LOL That stuff sounds like cooking:grin:
