The Randomness

You would think since I love buying stuff for my hair, my hair basket would be bigger? Yes?

That would be a big, fat, NO.

Exhibit A:



Now this little basket holds everything(save for a few items sitting in my shower caddy)for my hair. I was really shocked to see that I'm not *that* bad when it comes to my ProductJunkie alter ego, Laquisha Sallie Mae.

I feel pretty good about myself and my spending habits, lol.

Next up is a my prepoo, daily scalp moisturizer oil mix, which smells divine by the way:

I mixed some Dabur Vatika oil with Hairveda CoCosta Shakakai herbal oil. I plan on using this every other day to grease my scalp since synthetic hair can soak up moisture.

What's next?

Oh yeah, I decided to add Ayurveda powders to my herbal rinses to clean my scalp. I'm going to make another trip to Curry Hill to pick up: Shakakai, Amla, Bhrami, Aritha, and maybe some Hisbicus petals.

Properties of each

Shikakai Powder: Hesh Shikakai Powder acts as a natural astringent for hair enhancing its binding properties. It clears dandruff and cleans the dirt accumulated on the scalp. Being a natural conditioner for hair, SHIKAKAI strengthens hair roots and promotes luxuriant growth. Hesh Shikakai powder has certain vital properties that act as coolants for the scalp. This powder has to be mixed with water and used as a paste on the hair instead of shampoo.


Amla: The paste of this powder helps promote luxuriant hair. Even as it controls hair loss. It stimulates hair roots and promote hair growth. This apart, it prevents scalp infection and controls premature graying of hair

Bhrami: Brahmi powder is a remedy for people with chronic hair problems. Brahmi can make hair dark, dense, and lustrous. It strengthens hair roots, thus controlling hair thinning and hair loss. Regular use control premature graying and massaging it into the scalp clears dandruff.

Aritha: Excellent as a natural shampoo and gives hair natural floss and bounce

I'm really interested to see how these powders work. When I wore extensions in the past, my biggest problem was the dirt and buildup that gathered at the root of the braid. Because of this, my hair was is in very bad shape and I lost a lot of hair. Now that I am more informed nappy girl, I'm going to purchase some baking soda to remove buildup and dirt, and follow up with Auyverdic powders to clean my hair.

I hope this works!




Nappiness Leads to Happiness!
