I just bought it too and will be using it on the weekend to try it out. I can't wait to see how my hair responds to that one. Most likely I will be using it as a gloss-like co-wash like the one in my fotki. I don't know if I'll mix it with other powders yet, I'll see and update later. On second thoughts, I might have to use it separate from the other powders first then try mixing it later just to see if there is a difference in how my hair responds to it. That's what I like about these ayurveda powders and oils, you can toy with it until you get it just right

I use it as a tea rinse. There is a recipe in my fotki, check it out and let me know how you like it, okay? It really does give the most amazing slip ever!

Aggie you took the words right out my mouth. Im sitting here with my little pink color bowl mixing up some Tulsi powder for my co-wash in 1 hour. Im using Heenara with it to see how it works. I also added some coconut oil. Wish me luck.

Mmm, that sounds yummy. Let me know how it goes, okay?
How do you make the teas rinses?
The PJ in me forced me to buy some Tulsi powder a while ago (to use on my skin). Still contemplating whether to use it on my hair. I'm in love with Kalpi Tone at the moment

The same way you make tea. Add hot water to the herb and let it "steep" until cool, then use. You might need some of those empty tea bags you can get at heath food stores, some cheese cloth (gotten at any Walgreens, CVS, WalMart, etc..or an old fashioned crew top tea strainer made for loose teas. Even a old (clean) panty hose or coffee filter will work to strain the herb out of your "tea".
It's important to strain well for rinsing purposes.

Hi vestaluv, yesterday I added some tulsi in my kalpi tone, bhringraj, hibiscus petal powder and brahmi tea rinse and it came it out silky and very soft surprisingly. I had oiled my hair and scalp very well first of course. I made the rinse from my fenugreek tea rinse as a base for the powders.
I didn't even strain the tea (because of pure laziness), I poured the whole thing right over my hair, herbs and all, left it on for 2 minutes, then washed out. I have never used the tulsi on it's own though, too chicken to try it that way. Good luck with it honey.
This one too!
This is all I know of, Trace... there may be more, though.
I thought we were discussing hair. Not hating, but the picture does not fit the conversation. Very much out of place and in the wrong forum.

Quick question, I did a tea rinse on Saturday using shikakai and alma with water. I put it in the fridge but I know I'm not gonna wash tonight (I'm loving my hair too much to wet it right now 
). So do I need to put the rest of my rinse in the freezer until this Saturday?

I started incorporating Ayurvedic products at the end of November 2008. I am absolutely in love with Dabur Amla Oil Lite. I love the consistency (similar to grapeseed oil) and I got the lite version because I did not want it to "color" my hair. I have recently begun using the Shikakai bar (soap) for cleansing and/or LongHairDon'tCare's version of CW (conditioner with shikakai powder and coconut oil added). I follow the later up with a caffeine rinse and a DC. (OTT??LOL!!)
I've got to get my hands on some of this Hibiscus Petal Powder though. I'm all for soft.

Yes I think you should put it in the freezer because they say that ayurveda tea rinses don't last longer than 3-4 days in the fridge.

I am new when it comes to Ayurvedic hair care products but I think I'll be using them for a while. I'm trying to locate a good shop that has all of these products.
I picked up some Alma oil and some Multani powder for my skin. I have no skin problems but bought it because the indian lady said it was really good.
Anyway, I'm off to give myself a facial with the Multani powder.

Indigo is the only powder that can give you a true dark color but you can add amla powder to your henna mixes as it helps to darken that reddish copper tone from henna.
