Update!!!!!
I washed my hair last night with the usual brew and usually after I scritch and rinse I use ElucenceMB or AHR to do a quick co-wash b4 deep conditioning.
Well!
I had gone shopping with Tetbelle and saw a Bhringraj Conditioner- I went back yesterday and bought it (PJ cant help it)
Today I just did my hair tea wash and I decided to try this bhringraj conditioner- just to see what it would do cause the bottle said for thin fine hair- of which my hair is neither... I applied it to my hair- finished up with washing my body and rinse the conditioner out!
Lo and behold- my hair felt even stronger than ever! When I did my detangling (Denman) I lost 6 hairs!!!!
The conditioner is called Bhringraj Conditioner and is made by a company called Sandhu's. For 5.00 !! Cant beat it. I still deep conditioned though:rolleyes:
Ill take a picture of the 2 things I bought I Amla and Brahmi shampoo for my daughter- she's my Ayurvedic relaxed control subject, and put it in my Fotki. She hasn't used it yet.

That is so amazing. All I can say is you sold me a little while ago. I'm waiting for my Shikakkai powder and oil (well aware that I probably spelled it wrong) to come in the mail anyday!

WHERE can I order these products??!! Your hair looks fabulous, congrats on the growth.

HAIR : The hair should be well conditioned. Lustrous hair, short or long tresses and well-cut, are a woman's delight. Oil your hair regularly with almond oil or bhringraj oil which if pure may smell quite medicine but works wonders for the scalp.

Always steam your hair after the oiling by wrapping your head with a towel from which hot water has been squeezed out. You may use henna on your hari for that extra bounce and shine.

But, if you do not particularly like the color of henna, then you may try a hair pack with the following ingredients in it : 2 eggs, 2 tsps shikakai powder, 2 tsps amla powder, 2 tsps reetha powder, 2 tsps powdered fenugreek. Mix all these together and apply from the root of the hair onto the scalp, up till the hair ends.

Leave on for about half an hour and wash off with a mild shampoo. This pack should be applied once a week. It is effective for strengthening and conditioning the hair as it acts as food for the hair.

Hair rinses are also excellent for the hair. If you have dry hair, then after shampooing, rinse out the hair with a litre of water to which you have added 1tsp pure honey, if you have oil and limp hair use stale beer as a last rinse or a glass of strained tea water to which you have added the juice of one lemon. Since these can be made very easily at home, you can use it regularly
 
okay...this is SUPERB because i just went to the asian market here and spent less that $2 on each product...i JUST checked this thread after i bought, so i am missing a few products but can go back and get some more. i got the amla powder, dabur amla oil, henna, and i got the hesh brand of aritha powder for a clarifying shampoo and multani mati for my face and skin, which is basically fullers earth. oh, i got a bottle of rose water for a buck and a box of psyllium husk for another buck so i can smell good while trying to cleanse my colon, lol!

this should be fun...i got a loooong vacation starting tomorrow, so i'll be getting the MAHABHRINGARAJ oil (had to cut and paste from candy, lol!) and the shikakai oil. i love the post above me...sweet!
 
for the past two weeks.. I have been making my own "mix" of things and I havent needed to shampoo or condition at all..

I mix:

Shikaki Powder
Brahmi Powder
Aritha Powder
Neem Powder
EVOO
Coconut Oil
Castor Oil
Very little water

I mix all these up together and create a paste....I massage them into my scalp and let it sit for about 45min - 2 hrs (depends on how busy I am. I rinse with warm water only. The result is soft, moisturized lush hair. I have not needed to shampoo or put conditioners on my hair since I started this. After it is all rinsed out, I apply coconut oil on damp hair to seal in the moisture... Very effective....

I will clarify once a month..

Where can I purchase MAHABHRINGARAJ oil in the US?
 
I am about to do this regimen but 1) do I co-wash or shampoo my hair before???? 2) do I need to co wash or something over the next 3/4 weeks?
 
How do you ladies make your homemade shikakai oil? And does it work the same as the store bought brands?
 
I knew I shouldn't opened this thread. PJ is getting tempted. I will be in Tallahassee FL this week. Does anyone know where I can find this stuff in Tally?
 
Great Thread!!!! I will definitely try this. I'm already massaging my scalp with amla oil b4 I wash, and using henna paste at least 2x a month. But since it does make the hair a little hard, I'm open to trying something that will make it more manageable. I will give the herbal wash a try and see how my hair responds.....Thanks Candy! :drunk:
 
Thanks Candy_C for this method. I tried it twice and couldn't get used to the gritty powders all over me when I poured it over my hair in the shower. Now I strain it and like a tea rinse, I pour it over my hair and leave it in for 30 minutes covered with a plastic cap, jump back in the shower and conditioner wash it out, then DC. This works better for my hair. My new recipe mixture includes 2 parts bhringraj powder and 1 part brahmi powder. This new mixture leaves my hair both soft and strong.
 
Naw...I'm just henna-in at the moment (henna+Amla powder).
Twice a month for now.

At some point I will try this but--I just bought all these batches of Amla powder! LOL
Plus I don't want to overdue things, y'know? I will buy the amla oil to but I'm really all about 'K.I.S.Sing' (keep it simple)it...

Keep in mind i've been flouncy with my vits, (not taking them every single night) the only thing ive done is oil wash for around 30 days, and use shikakai and amla powder with water (pouring over my head) as a cleansing/all-round healthy hair rinse...​

I'm so happy!​

OMG! I am so excited.:grin: I had to read the whole thread to understand how and what to do. :thought:Yeah!!!!


Go buy these 6 items:
  1. Hesh Shikakai powder,
  2. Shikakai oil
  3. Hesh Amla powder
  4. Dabur Amla Oil
  5. Le Kair Self Heating oil (want to try it out)
  6. Coconut oil (want to try it out)
Exactly what I have learned and gonna do:
  • massaging my head (scritching) esp with my nails, with shikakhai oil
  • then message through hair and add amla to the hair ends and throughout
  • 10 mins later, rinse with warm-hot water for quite some time, until most of the oil has been distributed and released down the drain
  • then mix 2 teaspoon amla powder, 1 or 2 teaspoon shikakhai powder, 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a tub then add 1 cup boiling water to mix then add half cup cold water
  • get in the shower and pour this over head
  • rinse and then condition, apply leave in and moisturiser and seal with oil
  • do every 4 days, and detangled only when saturated in amla oil
  • After 4 weeks, shampoo (On shampoo day use same shikakhai and amla oil to message scalp, rinsed out, shampoo, dust wet wet (if needed) and make powder mix, apply to hair and rinse again. Then deep condition and use some le kair self heating oil, rinse out.Apply leave in and moisturiser then seal with oil
(Please excuse my bad spelling. To tired to check)

Thank you so much Candy C. Love your gorgeous hair. So excited!!!!!!!!!:grin: Now that I have been educated I might enter that thread challenge.

She captured this thread right here!!!


add: steam hair when you have oil is on the scalp and hair with a hot wet towel,

two other oils and powders mentioned are Mahabhminjar oil - a growth oil
Bhringaraj oil - a growth oil highly recommended.

I read this oil will cause boils on the scalp in the summer. Anyone noticed bumps from using the oil?
Click to expand...

Boils in summer...and why JUST summer? From bhringraj, never any boils, bumps or anything....in any season. Most of the Indian subcontinent has permanent summer (w/ months of rain as a variation while having summer heat), so if bhringraj caused boils just in hot weather, it would never be used!

How are you long term users doing with this process?
Does anyone have light colored hair -- did it darken
Is there more growth or more health?
