Herbal hair care part 2

Mixing up ayurvedic herbs: this video shows what ratio I use of the herbs shown, but feel free to play around with the ratio of these herbs according to how your hair feels. DO use an oil, like coconut oil to help protect your hair from any drying effects & to help condition your hair in preparation for the herbal wash.

Hey Sera! Not trying to tell you how to take care of your hair at all. But, I'm hoping that this tidbit will be beneficial for at least one person out there. I noticed that you are using alot of aritha and shikaki. Aritha is very strong, so strong that you can wash your clothes with it. Using both can and will be very drying to your hair. When I do use Aritha (not to often actually) I use only 1/2 tsp.

Thanks for the info, I know that especially Aritha & Shikakai can be quite strong & I am sure it can be drying that's why I encouraged others watching to play around with the ratios. My hair is very well oiled before I do this, not only from coconut oiling, but from Shea butter use during the week, so I don't experience all that much of a drying effect & once I condition my hair is soft afterwards.

Is it okay to mix BAQ henna with Alma powder or oil?

[Sera2544]

It's probably ok to mix in some Amla with your henna (a tsp or so); however, am not too sure about mixing in oils with your henna.

[Sera2544]

Everyone's hair is different & needs different care, etc. I think using a watery version of this instead of a paste may be the reason for the drying effect not being all that noticeable. However, it's always good to be on the safe side & start with small measurements & work your way up if need be or just use somethingelse altogether. :)

I have tried using soapnuts (aritha) in higher concentration for doing my wash & it is pretty good; however, am use to the convenience of detergents....

I only bought Amla and Brahmi. But I plan to mix it with Clove & Olive therapy by Africa's best organics, virgin olive oil, and hot water. wash it out with giovanni deep moisture shampoo/conditioner. Style with shea butter and sweet almond oil

I did a kind of deep conditioner / treatment on my hair because my hair was over shedding due to the cold weather were I live. I mix amla powder with amla and jasmine oil, black strap molasses a bit of megatek, left it on overnight and in the morning washed it out and my hair felt so good, strong and moisturized. I was surprised but my hair stop over shedding. I'm not consistant with the herbs, I just don't have the time. Yeah these herbs do wonders for the hair.
