To New Yorkers (remember: just people from NYC), anything North of the NYC metropolitan area is considered Upstate (so basically anywhere other than NYC or Long Island). Thing is, if you actually live Upstate, you're way more territorial than that. Thereâs Western New York, Central New York, the Southern Tier, and the Finger Lakes, to name a few. People from Upstate NY will often debate with one another on what truly is Upstate and what isnât.
To make the shampoo youâll need: 2 to 3 tablespoon besan, 1 tablespoon reetha powder, 1 table spoon shikakai powder, 1/2 tablespoon amla powder, and 2 or 3 crushed hibiscus flowers or leaves (helps to detangle and condition your hair). Add hot water to make a thin paste. Use in place of regular shampoo.
Choose a section of hair and release five kinky twists from your ponytail. Place a rod on one of your kinky twists. Start from the tip of the twist and wrap the hair around the rod. Secure it in place by placing the cap of the rod on the top of the hollow end. Repeat this step on the other kinky twists until you have used all 5 rods. Dip all 5 kinky twists into your mug of hot water one at a time.
