"How do I get rid of the bits of herbs in my hair?"There are a few standard methods to remove excess herb debris that is left after rinsing:1) Strain the herbs so there isn't much left to remove2) Use lots of conditioner3) Soak hair in a bucket, filled sink or mermaid soak in a bath tub4) After hair dries, brush out or shake out the excess herb bits. You can hold your ends and shake your hair to get out the bits. It works pretty well.
"Will Indian herbs darken my hair?"In general, most people do not experience darkening when using Indian herbs. Factors that can increase the possibility of herbs darkening include leaving on the herbs for a long period of time and cooking herbs for extended amounts of time before application. People with light-colored hair are more likely to notice a color change, so strand testing is advised. You many find that oiling makes your hair darker, or redder. Oiling may also increase drying time.
"How much oil should I apply to my hair before washing with Indian herbs?"It is usually helpful to start off with small amounts of oil and work toward an optimal amount. A light oiling can consist of a thumbnail-sized amount or less of coconut oil or 1/2 tsp. or less of a liquid oil. Giving the oil time to soak in before washing can help ensure a thorough removal by the herbs.
