I love using powders in my conditioner. My hair is responding well to it. I have hair that is so soft, it's incredible. It also helps define my curly new growth. I love this stuff. I just wish my nape would grow faster though.

I order mine from www.garrysun.com. I usually speak to Karen there who helps me out right on the phone. They have very helpful customer service too.

Hi DDt, are you massaging your nape area daily? This will help with stimulating faster growth in that area. I did quite a bit of massaging to get my front edges back and I am happy I did, and so is my hair

I just realized that I've been playing in my hair, mostly in the front and the sides. I'm going to start concentrating more on the nape. Thank you.

Gosh, I wish this thread would go away. Every time it pops up, about a month later, someone is on the Vendor Review Forum complaining about how Candy didn't ship their products or respond to emails.

Updating: Using CandyC's amla powder and shikakahai recipe worked well for me for a while. First, I put amla or amla lite in my hair and let it sit for at least a half an hour. Then, I mixed 2 tablespoons of amla powder with 1 tablespoon of shikakahai and added water. I let that sit on my hair for a few minutes. Rinsed. Then, I followed up with Alter Ego's energizing conditioner. When I finished, my hair was strong and smooth.
However, it became harder for my relaxers to take, my blowouts didnt come out as straight an smooth, and my hair started acting funny in a bad way. So, I stopped and went back to my dominican conditioners.

I'm sorry to hear that, I hope your hair recovered well.
I tried doing the prepoo with oil first & then doing the pastes followed with the tea rinses, I never followed her recipe to the tee. I noticed that the Amla powder has a high vit. C content so it can make your hair hard if not used properly, and the Shikakaki is excellent for strengthening the root, but it can make the hair feel like straw if use alone. For my hair I realized after reading some of the Ayurveda threads in their entirety, that I needed to MAKE SURE I added moisturizing powders like Bhrami, & Bhringraj. Otherwise I have no doubt I would be in the same boat. I also noticed that the Amla is said to create texture, this is why your blowouts might not have came out smooth. I have to admit I'm a bit too lazy for all that mixing all the time. so I have premixed containers with 2 parts Bhrami, 2 parts Bhringraj, & 1 part Amla. I just add a few spoons of this to my cowash or dc & my hair loves it!!! Sometimes I'll add Shikakai & Neem. IMO I think adding these powders to cond. help me to reek the benefits without having to do a ton of rinsing. And my hair stays moist. Lol, not to mention it's less work. I do the tea when I feel like it, and the pastes only when I'm less than 4wks. post. I also have infused oils with the Shikakai & Alma included in with other herbs for daily use.

I know this is an old post but I believe it as well. I've used Indian Ayurveda for years now but not consistently until last year. I don't have a growth problem (knock on wood) BUT...these oils really do push the hair out faster, particularly that Bhringraj oil! I mean, after a touch-up, I've got push out after using just 3 days later. I too have started with oil rinses and will soon add black tea with some ayurvedic powders too. And, what stretch marks?

South India is hot. Why would they use the oil then? I don't think that's true. It might be that someone had dirty scalp contaminated with lots of bacteria then applied the oil and it sealed in the bugs. ???

You didn't read my post eitherCome on ladies!
I said that I live in Chicago. I live on the South Side of Chicago, the Southwest side.
For those that don't know, Devon Ave is a big street in Chicago that is located in the heart of a predominately Indian neighborhood, primary West Rogers Park. They sell all the products. However, Chicago is so large so it would be more feasible for me to go up to the North Side in a car.
However
The reason why I rather go online is because of the service treatment. I mean Chicago is a racist city and I and lots of other blacks have gotten not so nice treatment from the Indian and South Asian stores up North. So that's why I'm cautious.
Wow. I'm not from Chicago but I have family and have been many times. Everytime I shop and eat in Devon, no problems. I even got my eyebrows threaded by Dilshad's. She's a very nice lady. Hmmm. Maybe it's the way Indians appear to westerners, kind of standoffish? I find that with W. Indians and Africans but I don't nec. take it for prejudice.

I know! There are also much better threads about Ayurveda anyway.
So, for anyone out there reading this thread and thinking about ordering from Candy_C, DO NOT DO IT. You will not get your products. She's no longer a member on here, so she will not answer your questions.

Pretty much. If you look in the Vendors thread, you will see how many people ordered and never got any products. She hasn't given them any refunds, so I guess she's keeping the money. It's a pretty messed up situation.
Maybe the mods could delete this?
