Healthy Journey Series | PrePoo with AMLA for Strength & Growth

[@headsup2010]

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!

[@THEE.apples]

BEST NATURAL hair on youtube hands down

[@NekiCakes]

marquise Washington awww Thank you Love ❤️!!

[@djm2985]

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.

[@8888-y8h]

[@beachlover9705]

Really please share. How long did you use this before results ?(ie extreme growth )

[@letiah7863]

this is the most obedient hair i've ever seen

[@lifeiseverything9]

🤣😅🤣🤣😂 love you comment

[@Foreignfee]

I love alma powder!!!! I use as a prepoo as well, love the results everytime. I also add it to my conditioners and deep conditioners n leave over night. Your video is well done lovely.

[@NekiCakes]

Foreign Fee Thank you beautiful 💕

[@NapturallyFlyy]

How much do you add to deep conditioners?

[@MJ-ln4xm]

I used Alma oil on my daughter scalp & mine & let me tell you, that stuff has thicken her hair up. It’s the truth!!!! I usually mixes it with other oils & do it twice a week.

[@maybemyra4857]

What other oils did you use

[@NapturallyFlyy]

Do you rinse the oil out? Have you seen any hair growth?

[@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!!!

[@HIMEnatural]

I like how you don't manipulate your hair a lot 👏

[@NekiCakes]

HIMEnatural Thank you 😊

[@NekiCakes]

HIMEnatural having fragile hair, less and being gentle is bests for me

[@HIMEnatural]

Nice, you have beautiful curls by the way 😍

[@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 !

[@fiona1407]

When I put it on my hair it was dry as soon as I washed out the amala it was soft so happy for ya tips.

[@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.

[@chassidytv6462]

Omg where were your vids when i decided to go natural........Like 3 times 🤦🏽‍♀️ and went right back to relaxers

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.

[@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!

[@NaturallyKayD]

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.

[@kathleenharris8824]

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

[@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)

I tried a growth oil that made my tender scalp inflame so badly that it bled and swelled up and I couldn’t even touch a hair on my head or press my scalp for about a week and a half. It was one of the most painful things ive ever been through, I’m worried this might cause the same thing, my hair is low porosity 3b/3c/ and 4a and doesn’t take moisture easily, any tips? Or reassurance?

[@avasd59]

Yikes. Try to apply it onto your skin first and wait 24-48hrs to see how your skin reacts or better yet, don't take the risk

[@turtle_goddess9522]

Rosie A. Yeah, it sounds like you had a really bad allergic reaction. Do what the other user said and put some on your skin first to test if you’re allergic to it. I’m sorry that happened to you.

[@rosiea.1178]

Ava S. Thank you I will try! I’ve put oil like coconut oil and olive oil in my hair but I used this Walmart growth oil for the natural hair section and I have no jdea what was in it that did that.

[@rosiea.1178]

TURTLE_GODDESS it’s not the first time my head has reacted like that which is weird, My head gets tender like that when I blow out and straighten my hair but no where close to how painful that experience was, I’m also pretty sure I was allergic to something in the growth oil

[@turtle_goddess9522]

No, I haven't yet, but I don't feel there's a need to be worried! this weekend I will be doing my amla prepoo following up with a henna mask.great way to balance out the moisture/strength

I would love to use this in my hair. The issue is I have beautiful silver hair which I love. Would this concoction stain my hair and turn it brown?

Brenda Terry Amla darkens the hair, it’s known to naturally cover grey hair. So I don’t think this powder would be something you try at this time.

Can you pre Poo with Alma every week or 2 weeks thanks again for sharing

[@NekiCakes]

Thank you, yes I still condition after shampoo especially if my hair feels dry. protein base if it feels soft and moisture base if the hair feels dry. You can use amla as often as your hair likes.
