Hi. Are you joining us this year in this Challenge?

Shame You know I thought I had! That's how I know I've been lurking too hard. I remember now that I was going to, but decided to hold back after I joined a couple of challenges and didn't want to loose track.

The old threads helped me immensely. You know...I will join you after all- I think I can handle it. I have to remember to post and not just lurk. I use bentonite clay and occasionally henna, amla, cassia. I am trying rhassoul clay for the first time tomorrow. Currently DCing overnight.

Henna is on my hair now. Did a new method I found on youtube where I start in the crown and slowly make a bun with my hair. It worked so much better because in the end my hair was all in a bun instead of hanging on my neck where it just gets messier.

I prefer to keep my natural kinky hair separated from the beginning in four sections. To the very end including, rinsing and air drying then sealing.
Even when I do henna.
If I set it in a bun I would assume it's gonna be rinsed loose.

But it's good if that method works better for you tho

Just attaching a link from Moptop maven. It helps me to remember the benefits for each powder. I only use conditioning powders.

She also has a few combinations that look interesting.

Yes, yes I'm in! I'm definitely on board with my powders and henna since I'm having a baby in a few short weeks and I don't want to lose my hair! Its been so full and nice, I'm hoping between prenatal vitamins, iron and ayurvedic powders it will stay this way. So I've been on hiatus, but I'm back and ready to continue my hair growth journey!

I got so excited, I forgot to post what I'll be using ! For starters all of my powder mixes and teas will include fenugreek, that stuff is a godsend! My brahmi, amla, and shikakai are my old faithfuls mixed with heaps of coconut oil. I've using these as a paste or in an Indian premixed shampoo, but I may break out the coffee maker and go back to teas at some point. For now, I'll be going back to basics with those!

[Pennefeather]

I did a ACV and tea rinse with Nettle and Peppermint tea last night.

xu93texas,

Do you mix the ACV with the tea rinse or is this two seperate processes?

 

[xu93texas]

xu93texas, Do you mix the ACV with the tea rinse or is this two seperate processes?

I mixed it together. I have so many teas that I need to use up. I did 1 part ACV to 3 parts of tea.
The tea was made with distilled water.

I apply my DC over it.

I wrote at the end of the other thread that I have tons of powders that I need to use. I am home for the holidays and found some more in my old room. Still havent figured out how I am going to incorporate everything. I know I want to make a spritz out of the Fenugreek because of the raves it gets. I will probably use Kalpi Tone, Bhringraj, Brahmi etc to make paste

One question: Has anyone mixed powders with Rhassoul clay? I searched and didnt see that mix.

I plan to check in weekly to write what combos I come up with!

cutiebe2 I used to use Rhassoul for deep cleanse hair and remove every coat of products/stains, so I wouldn't have done a mix of a cleanser mixed with a coater. But at the end of the day there are plenty of mixes like Shikakai/henna(and other powders)sold on the market so why not try Rhassoul and other powders.
I'm taking Shikakai/henna as an exemple because Shikakai cleanse and is an astringent and henna coats hair.

I have been using shikakai and rhassoul clay together in a paste to wash my hair. I love how it makes my hair feel. I use 3 tablespoons of each with hot water, mix into a paste and add to damp hair. I don't add any oils or any other powders. I like to keep it simple.

I sometimes add a deep conditioner to my mix if I want extra moisture, but so far so good. I have been using this mix for about 2 months now and not had any problems with it.

Since using it, I've noticed I've not had to wash my hair weekly any more. I wash bi- weekly now.

I was thinking about adding a table spoon of henna to my mix every 6 weeks as a strengthener and see how that goes.

I'm not sure why mixes don't contain rhassoul clay. I love it.

Welcome.:welcome3: Glad to have You.

 

[Ms. Tiki]

I'm in. I really fell off but I need to get back on track with my powders. I haven't needed tea rinses much b/c I hadn't exp much shedding. I was just looking at my powder collection the other day.

 

[victorious]

I'm in.

I usually do a henna with coffee once a month. I'm not sure if I want to go back to indigo again or use more coffee to darken the grays.

I need to be more consistent with black tea rinses, and I can't remember the last time I did an acv rinse. I really want to try the recommended green tea rinse/spray.

Welcome Ms. Lady! Glad to have you!

 

[Pennefeather]

Rozlewis,

Do you put your tea mixture together yourself or it is a prepackaged mix?

 

[NefertariBlu]

I need advice please.

I have dandruff. I need to find something that will help with it. I usually see it 4 days after I wash my hair. It doesn't itch, I just have flakes.

I use rhassoul clay and shikakai powder. I wash my scalp with the aunt Jackies shampoo.

I've tried fenugreek and coconut oil separately and both makes my hair shed a lot, so they are not options for me.

TIA

[Leo24Rule]

I've been M.I.A. I know..

At the moment, I'm torn as to what I should purchase. I have two carts: 1 from Annabelle's Perfect Blends with 3 items a) Infused Oils Hurry Up Grow b) Ayurvedic Infused Oils and c) White Chocolate Mousse Moisture Intense Mask. Second cart is from hennasooq.com with the 300g of Sukesh Ayurvedic Powder and Cocoveda Hair Oil. I don't need all this oil now. What to do...what to do??

 

[meka72]

Steeping chamomile and nettle leaf tea for my wash day this weekend. This will be my first time trying these two teas.
