Hair: Majority is High Porosity, crown and hairline is low porosity and super frizzy!

You are star! This was THE BEST demonstration for applying an Ayurvedic mixture on KZbin EVER! Your application covered every strand of hair and you worked it IN until your texture yielded to it. That is how you do a mask treatment. Finally! Thank you so much for your patience and thoroughness. Peace!

[@NekiCakes]

Love! Bless you for your kind words! I take pride in what I do & I'm glad you enjoyed this video, it means a lot. xox!

Amla is apart of my growth oil. I use Amla, MSM, & Jbco!!! It's nothing but the truth 4c guys!!

[@NekiCakes]

That sounds real good, your growth must be amazing!

[@Smartgirlkass2017]

What’s MSM and jbco ?

[@Iamblessed12345]

Yasmeen Wallace google msm and jbco is the abbreviation for Jamaican Black Castor oil.

[@user-eh1ku3id7s]

[@prettygirl9320]

How has it worked for you?

[@leonardevans2633]

I'm a male with a #2 curly top/high bald fade and I used Amla Oil not the paste. I must say you can see the results after 1hour. It not makes your hair soft and smooth but defined my curl pattern significantly without adding gels/souffles/or leave in conditioner.🥰😍 Love This!!!

[@mrsmoorek]

Just found your channel! Watching this reminds me of back in the day..putting that *creamy crack* on my hair!.🤣 thank the heavens I was delivered from it!!

[@curli-lettey4319]

Simple ingredients and easy to do application and straight to the point without the extra bibble-babble like others and show the aftermath results.👍. Going to do this next time....I just did a henna + Indigo hair color app this weekend. I will use Brahmi oil,bought a bottle of that from this amazing India store!

[@justjenene]

This is my next purchase. Thanks bunches!💕

[@NekiCakes]

No problem love xo!

Love this recipe! I think I’m going to give it a try tonight but use aloe vera gel from the leaf instead of aloe juice since I don’t have any right now.

[@latashathomas4239]

I also put amla in my prep. I just use amla powder and olive oil. Under a warm cap until I'm ready to shampoo.

[@NekiCakes]

Nice !

[@kathleenharris8824]

I never thought of using it as a prepoo. I also like how you ad Aloe Vera Juice. Great video!😀

[@NekiCakes]

Kathleen Harris yess love I take aloe Vera with me everywhere I go lol Thank you !!❤️

[@Shaysongz1989]

Awesome technique! I will try this. I just started using Alma powder for the first time last week, and I noticed an IMMEDIATE improvement and soon as I washed it out. I used it as a hot oil treatment. I just simply used 4oz of olive oil and a spoon of Alma powder and put it in the blender to mix then poured the mix in an applicator bottle. I then poured heated water and sat the bottle in the hot water and after it cooled I spritz my hair and scalp and applied it and let it sit for 30 mins and washed it out. I sometimes use the Bentonite clay mask with apple cider vinegar, which softens and clumps my curls but Alma is a game changer for sure! Im thinking of maybe mixing Alma powder with Bentonite clay to see what happens.

[@BlueBerryYumYum23]

I just ordered some Amla powder after seeing this video 👀

[@AmberSumerall]

Beach Lover nah she putting some on it. I think she has a very mild curly perm.

[@equallyyoked1]

Ayden Sumerall why is it so hard to believe that black people have curly/wavy/kinky curly hair naturally without chemicals? Please do some research on how to allow your curls to pop if you choose to do so. Remember that curls and Afros alone are a Gift from God. Please do not come onto people’s pages and say that they are adding chemicals when if you look through their videos they are showing you how they create and maintain moisture in their hair which is how some obtain lots of curls. Also, please learn more ( as I am doing ) on Ayurvedic hair treatments. It’s natural herbs infused into natural oils then applied to the hair. After a period of time while following a regime the hair reacts differently because herbs/plants are a good thing for our hair. I believe that these types of natural Ayurvedic treatments are good for all hair. You can see the Indian (southeast Asian) community and Africans doing these treatments as well for many decades. Be blessed on your journey in discovering the great things that God has created your hair to do as well. I am praying the same thing for me.

[@ok-rq5ie]

i’m using amla oil right now how much will my hair grow in at least a month ?

[@jsspald]

First and fore most your hair looks amazing as always. Secondly what made you decide to use the Amla as a pre-poo vs in your regime. Also if you use it as a prepoo are you still putting it in later? Lastly what has been the immediate and long term effects of Amla on your hair? Ok I know that was a lot of questions but your channel gives me so much LIFE!!! it inspires me to be better with my hair. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ariela_]

Do you deep condition after or does it feel like you don’t need to?

Can we leave it over night even if you have low porosity hair?

[@jamariesgranny2084]

I just found you and subscribed. Thank you for helping us naturals. Do you overnight pre-poo with the amla mask every weekend? And do you also deep condition under the steamer as well? I pre-poo with aloe, and deep condition under my steamer every week. I'm just trying to learn from you, if it is safe to use the amla this way?

[@NekiCakes]

Thank you love and glad you enjoyed the video! At the time of this video yes I did prepoo overnight weekly with Amla, that has changed-I no longer prepoo overnight but I still use Amla very frequently to prepoo (At least twice a month for 1-2hrs) I just like to switch up my recipes but the main ingredients (Amla,henna, fenugree-etc) are usually the same. I don’t really use my hooded steamer vs when I did in my older videos. You can use Amla weekly yes it’s safe, you can also use it in rotation with your regular prepoo mix (one week Amla, next week aloe/dc)
