2017 Coffee Tea Clay Mud Acv Avj Ayurveda Challenge

[sexypebbly]

Going to use some black tea under my dc and use whatever is left over as a rinse. Gonna try green tea soon and some other things just so many to choice from. Also gonna use avj with my leave in.

@Sharpened
Sounds very interesting.

I did an Oatstraw Tea Rinse once and it made my hair hard as a brick.

I've never tried/used it again. Same with Neem Tea. (Hard & Dry)

I haven't even tried to mix either of them with Green or something else to see how they would do mixed with another Tea.

I had no idea about those two. Sounds like they both act like protein treatments. I would mix them with something moisturizing, like glycerin or honey.

I massaged my scalp with grapeseed essential oil blend. Tuesday I will do the infused coconut oil overnight.

Soaking some fenugreek seeds for the next few days. My scalp/hair doesn't need a full wash but I plan on rinsing well with water then using the fenugreek tea as a rinse. Whatever is leftover, I'll use as a leave in and moisture spritz throughout the week. All of this is planned for the upcoming weekend if time permits. If not, I'll freeze it and try again next weekend. LOL

I almost got a pint out of my two aloe leaves:

Daily aloe treatments and weekly chlorella oat treatments start on Saturday or Sunday:

Freezing leftovers:

Tea Rinsed with a blend of burdock root, Marshmallow root & Calendula flowers after a henna/indigo treatment. I didn't feel the need to deep condition after the tea rinse cause my hair felt amazing...but I did anyway.

May Steep a Pot of Guava Leaf Tea today.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Ended up steeping a nice pot of Guava Leaf Tea.

Pulled out a box of Saw Palmetto Tea and will use this for my next batch.

 

[Sharpened]

Will be applying raw AVG to my roots daily, about 0.5 oz. Applying it dry saves product.

I was so impressed with this blend so I repeated it. I wanted the tea to be nice and strong to add in a mud wash so I steeped it in boiling water in a mason jar overnight on my counter.



This morning, the blend was skronggg!



Added it as a water base to my mud wash.




Mannnnnn my hair feels like fine silk.

@lulu97 Have you done completely conditioner-free yet?

@lulu97 Have you done completely conditioner-free yet?

@Sharpened I did for around a month while researching to find a replacement for Joico MRB. My herbal teas and oils did a fine replacement while I was in between. Now I use Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle conditioner. It's the only product I use now that I don't make myself. At my length, I really need a bit more help to keep tangles down. Like I said before, teas (mucilage ones) and oils were ok but I was not able to get all the tangles out without a sore scalp afterwards.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used this a.m.'s Coffee for a Coffee Rinse and will use Guava Leaf Tea as a Rinse and also an AVJ-Blend somewhere in my Regi today.

 

[imaginary]

I poured out my diy coffee oil into an applicator bottle because I keep forgetting it exists. Used it today and my scalp is nice and tingly. I only have a bit of this left so I'll use this sparingly.

ETA: I also did a FRW rinse on my braids

 

[Rozlewis]

Did a tea rinse with Fenugreek, Horsetail and Green tea.

Pre-Soaked Overnight in an AVJ Blend (Pre-Mix from SprAngz)

Guava Leaf Tea Rinse w/my Triple Seaweed DC'er under Dryer from J.Monique Naturals

Coffee Rinse - with my Coffee DC'er (Joe's Joe from Kindred Butters ETSY) to Steam with

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Washed twice with my shampoo. This batch is infused with Rosehip tea and aloe vera gel. The last batch lasted over 2 months so I shouldn't have to make more until August.

Deep conditioning for a few hours with my Ayurvedic herbal oil. It's infused with lots of goodies. Henna, Amla, Brahmi, Fenugreek, Horsetail and Nettle. Will rinse and airdry in 1 big braid.

Steeping some bhringraj powder (1 wooden spoonful) for my midweek rinse/condition session. I usually only need around 6 ounces for rinses so this batch is enough for 3 rinses. I'll freeze the remaining for future rinses.

Agreed. I have to figure out how I want to use my powders soon or they may expire on me. I think I will mix some of them into my cowashes/deep conditioners and others I will use as rinses.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie

I don't own any powders.

But I'll drool over @lulu97 @Sharpened , Yours and all the other creative Ladies in this Challenge.

My Ayurvedic Blends and Brews are all Hand-Made by someone else.
