Look What Came Today: Cassia Obovata and Alma Powders!

The packets… not the cat!

Yes, I’ve decided to try cassia on my hair! I purchased two packets of organic cassia obovata ($12.50 for both) and one packet of organic amla ($7.25) from www.hennasooq.com. I’m excited. I think I will try cassia on my hair this up coming weekend. I’m excited to see the thickening effects on my hair.

P.S. Isn’t she (Shaddy) purrrrrrrrty? lol (In case you’re wondering why I randomly have my cat in the pics, she was initially laying on the packets until I pulled them out from under her and put her in the pics.)

Just placed my order! Keep doing what you do Jen! Your articles are addicting! I started from your very first blog and am currently making my way through 2011 LOL! I don't want to miss out! You have experience and results, a great combo! Also, I think you have a larger following than you think! This is my first post to your blog. I believe you probably have 15,000 + readers but we get lazy and don't want to comment. You're a rock star! So rock on!

Also, I mix coconut oil with my cassia. As for essential oils, I've can't remember if I've seen a recipe that does include them, but I know there one or two large threads on longhaircareforum where members have posted their recipes… that might help.

Lol! I love her!

When mixing amla and cassia, I mix 3 grams or amla for every 100 grams of cassia.

When I read up on cassia/amla, I used hennablogspot.com as my primary resource.

Here are a few links:
-Video on mixing: http://hennablogspot.com/video-mixing-cassia-obovata/

Hope this helps!
