My sister in India,what should I ask for?

[MsKibibi]

My sister went to India for 2 weeks with her boyfriend's family. I asked her to find out what they use on their hair and so far all she learned was Herbal Essences and Pantene LOL. I told her to keep asking.

So far my wish list is tea (to drink not for my hair) and mustard oil (after that thread yesterday about it warming/tingling the scalp).

Any other suggestions? I already have enough coconut oil to last me the rest of the year and henna gave me a major setback, so I don't need either of those.

Thanks ladies.

I spent some time there there and loved their face stuff. Its pretty cheap but feels AMAZING, I wish our cheapo drugstore brands felt as awesome on my skin. Theres two brands I like. Jovees and biotique. But i dont know what your skin needs are so I can't recommend specific products.

I also loved the Darbur Vatika Coconut Oil-- the one without mineral oil, but you said you have a ton of that already.... I loved it bc it was mixed with neem and amla etc. smelled amazing.

Love love love Indian products. Came home with a whole suitcase full

ETA:

The teas are amazing, and have her bring back some spices as well. We are big hot pepper fans in my fam, so chili peppers and spices were also in the giant suitcase of purchases.

Silk products too.

ooooo their oils... I would love to get amla and vatika there or to just sit with a older female and ask her what she uses in her hair bath.. I dunno that would be interesting...

I like indian skin care like neem soaps. You could try that.

I'd ask for a truckload of henna!

Navratna, all sorts of herbal goodness, and body/skin products!

I'm thinking the oils too...that would be the stuff i'd like, it's GOT to be cheaper there, and the hennas as well.

Biotique hair oils, hair products and skin products! Biotique is the best!

Sarees.

Shoot... I wasn't even thinking about hair products. Before I read your post, I was saying fabric. They have the most amazing fabric ever. OP, your hair is gorgeous! I'm sorry I don't know much about their hair products.
