Herbs do not leave your hair feeling like shampoo does as they do not strip the oil out. It takes a couple weeks of using them to transition. To shampoo and condition will just wash out any benefit you have gotton from the herbs - think of putting make up on your face and then washing it right back off.
I would make a thick tea if the shiakaki an amla and apply it to my scalp only, using either catnip tea or conditioner on the length of my hair. Let that soak in for 20 minutes then rinse. That way I got my scalp clean without stripping the ends and gave the herbs time to to thier job. Good luck with what ever you try.
