I used Kalpi Tone for the first time on Saturday and it was great!
I think once I've used up all of my other powders this is going to be my staple one.
I didn't use it the way it says on the box because when I use any of these powders as a thick paste, I cannot 4 the life of me get all the grit and residue out and it causes breakage. I did this the first time...never again.
I used Kalpi Tone the same way I usually use my other powders.
I used about two tablespoons and added boiling water. It was not a paste, but it was not watery either
(still quite thick).
I left it to sit for about an hour, then strained it through a stocking cap.
After rinsing my hair for about 5 minutes,
I poured the mixture over my hair in sections and left it to sit on my hair with a shower cap for one hour.
I rinsed it out, slathered on some conditioner, rinsed it out immediately, conditioned again, but this time left the conditioner on for 15 minutes before rinsing. I might tweak this method in the future.
This stuff is great.
After rinsing off the powder mixture (before any conditioner was used), my hair felt clean and soft and there was no dryness at all.
My hair was left very shiny and a little darker.
This is not a great picture, but it shows the shine I'm talking about on air dried hair and normally when I airdry, my hair is dull as h3ll. There is no product at all in my hair in this picture.
Hope this helps a bit!
I just wanted to add, the only thing i didn't like about it was the black tinge I got on my fingers after using it.
I don't think there's henna in it, but
I think it's a thing called Mandoor that's in it that gives the black tone to your hair.
