For me, the best natural way to add waves is to add one part honey to
two parts conditioner and just condition my hair with that.

Hey there!
:
: I don't know how many of you have used Amla, but perhaps you could

: getting large, loose waves, if a natural way exists as opposed to
: getting a body wave perm, and amla sounds promising. However I'm
: afraid it will also darken my hair, and make it browner, which is
the
: opposite of what I'd ideally like to achieve. I certainly don't want
: to LOSE any of my blond. So how brown will it make my hair, and if
it
: does darken it, is there something I can do to it to prevent dye
: release but keep the curling properties, like cook it or oxidize it
: somehow? If you have hair like mine, will it even help to make it
wavy
: in the first place? And since I'd like to use Cassia obovata to
: condition it, do you think they will interfere and do something
nasty,
: or cancel each other's benefits? What about if I lighten my hair
with
: highlights - would it have weird reactions with the dye?

: Anything you might know would be helpful!

: Thanks in advance!
