Since the amount of water and powder depends on the length/thickness of the hair, looking at your hair, I say get the biggest one OUT there!

Hell! Get two or three of 'em just so you don't have to keep replenishing the one! :lol: :grin:

heeeeeeey...you forgot to add the coconut oil:grin:
thanks again for the total break down though. when i did it last week it didnt take long at all. it was very simple and effective. i would just like to find the shikakai oil. i dont really want to make it myself. i had some shikakai powder just sitting around and brahmi powder. i did mix a teaspoon in my mixture too.

Candy, when you say repeat do you mean repeat with the conditioner wash or repeat with the powders and conditioner?
 
Where does the coconut oil fit in?? Or is the coconut oil a substitute for the amla oil? Sorry, I'm one of the slow people.

OT:...fotki updated:poke: plizzz:grin:.....
 
Okay, I might try Dabur Vatika Oil but it's like $20 bucks I would be spending, shopping from Amazon.com. I could go up to Devon Ave in Chicago but that's on the North Side and I'm on the South Side and it's just too damn cold and I don't have a car man.

So I'm asking, is this stuff really worth the $20 I will be spending for the two bottles and the $9.99 shipping charge?

$20, that's expensive

Where, are you located? Do you have any local Indian stores?

I paid $2.49 at my local Indian store.
 
Is the shik/alma /water mixture suppose to be a paste or tonic consistency? How much hot water is suppose to be added to the mixture? Thanks.

I wouldn't make it too watery if i was making the paste.

Now for the tonic- i put 4-6 tablespoons of herb to 6 cups of water. I use my coffee pot for this. put it in a 32 oz plastic btl. let it cool overnite and use it in the morning. It is good for 4 days only. HTH

You so totally did not read my post :nono: In the post, I clearly state:

So yes, I could go to the Indian store if I had a car. I'm not getting on the bus and trains to go that far for some oils.

I'll see if this local Herbal store I live by has some.

$20 is too expensive for Vatika IMO. You might as well order all the ingredients in it and make it yourself :look:. If you can't find it locally, try http://www.eastwestbazaar.com/ or another site selling Indian products.
