Methi is a herb that is not listed in the above post. It is terrible at cleansing, but makes the pastes very mushy, soft, and easy to apply, and it is the best herbal conditioner I have tried so far. When I want to cleanse the length and condition the ends, this is what I do:
First, I soak a piece of katha in hot water for 15 minutes (this is a solid piece of wood that aids in the conditioning and darkening of hair; it needs to be soaked so that all the good bits come out into the water and the solid turns into mush). Then I add my usual herbal mix, consisting mostly of shikakai, amla, aritha, sandalwood, and bhringraj powders.
Then I dunk my length in, holding my ends out of the way. Once most of the rinse is used up, I add some methi powder. This makes it soft and squishy, and I apply it to my ends.
I leave it on overnight as always, and rinse in the mroning
