Hi Silky and welcome to LHC!
While I am not Indian I do use a lot of Indian traditional hair care in my routine. Your hair, from your description seems to be a similar hair type to mine. What I found to work really well to give shiny soft hair are Methi (fenugreek) and buttermilk masks.
Mix a 2-3 tablespoons (depending on hair length) of methi seed powder with a enough warm buttermilk to create a thick paste. Let stand for half hour. Apply to the hair and leave on for at least 15 minutes, cover the hair so it doesn't dry. Then rinse out thoroughly. No need to shampoo after, it is cleansing enough to even take out a bit of oiliness.
About the community, there is a friends/buddy system where you can add people to your friends list (the option is visible in your profile or if you click on a member name.) You need to have 25 quality posts (outside the "new? start here" section) for most of the options in this community.
Contact outside of the site depends on the person. Some like to communicate through this site only, others have messenger contacts available in their profile.
I hope that helps.
