i know many use shakakai (sp) powders and alma powders, i was wondering anyone used or using the oils in the same way as the powders?
ex. washing hair with shakakai oil?is it possble to clean the scalp with oil?
would a vatika oil prepoo then shakakai oil wash be too much oil?

I'm not Ayurveda expert and I really just got started with it last month. I just use the oils for scalp massage and to moisturize my hair. I wouldn't try to wash my hair with the oil that sounds like it would make my hair extremely oily and I hate oily, greasy hair. Not to mention it might cause skin to break out.
