2017 Coffee Tea Clay Mud Acv Avj Ayurveda Challenge

[Sharpened]

GHE with my CP mix overnight.
Did a mix of clay, coffee, citric acid, and amla; froze the leftover.

Argh! Too drying... rosewater spray saved my my life, lol. I need to mix marshmallow root tea and rose powder in it when I use it next.

I'm currently doing a tea rinse with a ready made herbal tea rinse. I've had it in the fridge forever unopened. I can't remember the brand. It just says herbal tea rinse lol. Getting ready to rinse it out now.

May I join please? @IDareT'sHair
For the remainder of the year I'd like to focus on retaining every strand and avoid breakage.

@beauti
Absolutely Sis!

Glad to Have You! What will you be using?

 

[beauti]

Yaayyy! Thank you sis! Ok so curly proverbz growth oil worked so well on my hair that I decided to stick to that and have a new jar infusing.

I also made her tea spritz which consists of henna,amla, and shikakai.

Lastly I made her whipped shea butter and henna infused coconut oil mix for hair growth, which smells like mint chocolate!

The plan is to incorporate these products into my regimen. 3x a week I will:
Oil my scalp with the growth oil
Spritz my hair with the tea
Moisturize and use the whipped shea butter mix to seal.

One last thing either biweekly or monthly I will apply a henna gloss. Phew! I think that's it!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Did a Coffee Rinse (under my Protein DC'er)
AVJ Rinse (under my Moisturizing DC'er)
Bamboo Tea Rinse: (under my Final R/O)

Lol!!! I'm too tickled. Yes very random lol. I will be doing the tea rinses or a coffee condish weekly over the next few weeks then I will "ease up" to every other week and eventually just monthly.

What all did you put in your Blend?

@NaturallyATLPCH

It's a premixed blend I ordered from Lakshmi's Cupboard. She doesn't sell it anymore so I'm rationing it lol. It should last a while because I bought 16 ounces of it. It's actually an Amla powder mixture to be exact.

I noticed it also. Her henna and other powders are very smooth and easy to apply, and also rinse out.

 

[beautyaddict1913]

After I rinsed out my D.C. I ended up "sealing" before applying my detangler. I used HV Cocasta Shikakai oil.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

This coming wash day will use my blend of:
Saw Palmetto
Pure Green
Nettle
Burdock Root
Rosemary

 

[GGsKin]

Clay washed today with a mix of rhassoul, c.bentonite, steeped hibiscus, water and SAA.

What's the function of the hibiscus in the clay mix?

 

[GGsKin]

What's the function of the hibiscus in the clay mix?

It's my little something acidic, that lowers the ph giving the clay a smoother feeling on my hair. It also makes my clay a little more moisturising for my hair.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Tea Blend (Green, Burdock Root, Nettle, Saw Palmetto)
AVJ Rinse w/EVOO
Cantu's ACV Root Rinse

Take it easy Sis and get plenty of Rest.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

BAQ Henna
Amla
Shikakai
Bhringraj
Bhrami
Hibiscus
Neem

Organic:
CO
JO
Shea oil
AVJ
Murumuru Buterr
*and the preservatives*

I just noticed today that it has been a while since I have had to deal with potential mini-locs in a long while. I give credit to using raw aloe, which softens my hair and lays that cuticle layer down.

 

[NatrulyMe]

I did a clay treatment, deep condition and wash n go last night. My wash n go came out to be the best one I've ever done.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

I'm still with my ayurvedic regimen :

Last wash day I used Jakeala Beau Vert DC. It contains amla. (I've been curious about APB's ayurvedic DC!).

Also, I've been wearing my hair heat straightened for a week now, applying Jakeala Amla Shea Parfait (which is chock-full of ayurvedic ingredients) and my DIY CurlyProverbz ayurvedic hair growth oil just about daily as I restyle and tie up my hair at night.

 

[Prettymetty]

I need to buy a new blender for my hair concoctions. I tried to blend some aloe vera gel in my old blender and it was still chunky The blades are dull and it just doesn't work as well anymore.

Luckily I was still able to use most of the aloe for a life changing prepoo. I mixed avj with coconut oil, covered my scalp and hair, and wore a baggy for 2 hours. When I washed it out my hair didn't feel like my hair. It felt new, strong, silky, etc.

 

[beauti]

So it's been almost 2 weeks since I started using the tea spritz and shea butter mix. My braids need to be redone, they're so fuzzy.

This weekend I will prepoo with the growth oil prior to dc'ing under dryer. After the hoopla of wash day I will rebraid for another 2 weeks.

 

[Beamodel]

Last week I did a Henna treatment with a red raj. I need to get back into my ayvuerdic treatments. My hair performs so much better with then being incorporated.

 

[NatrulyMe]

I planned to co wash with ACV. Then, do a chamomile and peppermint tea rinse following a deep condition on Tuesday.

 

[GGsKin]

Today, I rinsed my hair and then poured blended aloe onto my scalp and hair, and massaged. On top of this, I applied my protein DC and left for 30mins.

After rinsing, I applied APB PMM with hot towel for 30mins. Followed with a rhassoul clay wash, with steeped hibiscus, water and SAA.

 

[Sharpened]

Spritzed my hair with rosewater and fluffed.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Today will use:
Black Coffee
Slippery Elm, Burdock Root
AVJ
ACV

*Used - Soultanicals "Coil-Soil" Activated Charcoal & Dead Sea Black Mud (as a Pre-Poo) My DC'er is TMN's Henna & Amla.*
