jamaara,
quick question, are these powders just meant to be a rinse? or can they be used as a conditioner and left in for 30 minutes or more? i learned my lesson about shikakai, with that one i know the answer is no. LOL but i was wondering about the more moisturizing powders like maka and brahmi. today i suppose i was in the adventurous mood again, since i have not gotten my cassia in so i tried these two mixed with the trader joes conditioner and some homemade amla oil and left it on for about 30 minutes. my hair came out soft, very soft, almost like feathery soft. not bad, but not quite what i was going for... i kind of felt like if i had added the shikakai, maybe a little it might have come out perfect, but i am a little afraid of the shikakai, you know why. grin.
anyhow, i spraid a bit of protein on my hair this evening, and did my usual night routine with moisturizing and sealing and all seems to be well. not like last week when i could have renamed my self squeaky

this wasnt such a quick question was it?
