20-21 Coffee Tea Acv Ayur Onion Rice Chebe Challenge

Thanks! I want to make a detangling pre-poo, so this link helps! I wasn't sure if I should just use the seeds or the leaves or both. I'll try both and see what happens. I'm also going to add marshmallow root and slippery elm.

So I made hydrated fenugreek and slipper elm, but instead of hydrating with hot water, I hydrated it with hot marshmallow root tea.

After, I turned it into a pre-poo "milk" (that fancy name kids are calling their lotions, these days). It turned out pretty well. I feel like it needs a bit more slip, but now I have a whole bottle's worth so I have time to reformulate.

Wow, that looks amazing!

That milk looks good! Hmm more slip.. maybe some Okra gel or some BTMS??

I've been using my DIY ayurvedic oil and ayurvedic leave in. I really want to do an ayurvedic wash day this weekend, with a henna gloss and maybe play around with another fenugreek deep conditioner

It's got BTMS. I'm thinking either add more or try ceteryl alcohol? I've never used it before, though. I thought about okra too. Decisions. Decisions.

So after this fenugreek "milk" fully cooled down, it thickened quite a bit and is more like a cream. Originally, I used it as a detangler and it was good and I was able to comb through my hair.

The next wash, I used it post wash and it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. There wasn't enough slip on it's own, but I wanted to give it another shot. So yesterday, I tried it again, post wash to aid in finger detangling, but this time I added some DIY ayurvedic oil and it worked really well as a styling cream. My hair was so soft easy to detangle. My twists are set.
