2015 Coffee,Tea,ACV,AVJ,Ayurvedic, Powders/Clay, Challenge

I wasn't sure if I wanted to join this year since I fell off majorly last year but I'm starting henna again soon so count me in. I have 30+ herbs, clays and powders to use so I'll post as I go.
 
Did a green tea rinse after rinsing out bentonite/tea tree/peppermint/honey mask. Going to henna Monday evening.

whosthatcurl,

I have been tea spritzing the last two weeks as well. This morning, I brewed nettle tea w bhringraj, Alma, brahmi, and hibiscus. I spritzed my hair before applying APB ayuverdic oil.:yep:

I will use this for the next four days, and then brew something else.
 
After I run my errands including to stop at Sally's Beauty Supply for a scalp massager and tangle teezer for myself. :lachen:(I just can't stop buying hair stuff as of late) I then will wash my hair, do a tea rinse, and spritz with the same tea as a leave-in.
 
Used rhassoul clay I mixed with water, cayenne pepper, honey and a touch of ACV. I let that sit in my hair for about 2 hrs before I washed it out and used diluted Kinky Curly Knot Today as my leave-in. My hair is still air drying with KCCC but feels soft. And no, I can't seem to keep my hands out of my hair:look:
 
KaramelDiva1978 thanks for the tip about Amla. I haven't had any issues with the shikakai in regards to dryness, but when I finish this pack I will try the Amla and note the difference.

I tried Henna with my mix yesterday. I haven't really noticed anything as yet apart from the lingering smell. Will keep on using it though.
 
Steeping my tea blend (Burdock Root, Catnip Nettle Leaf, Rooibos Leaf, Horsetail Grass, Fenugreek and marshmallow Root for this weekends wash.
 
I feel like after a month and a half of using a tea rinse & tea spritz in my hair it's thickened up a bit.
 
I made a tea spritz using nettle, green tea, fenugreek, pau d'arco, rose hips, and ylang ylang essential oil. I also made a leave-in conditioner/ detangler mixing the tea spritz with Irish moss, marshmallow root, slippery elm, and coconut oil. I love the tea spritz, but I think I should have put more coconut oil in the leave-in. I get great slip and hold, but not enough moisture. My hair feels soft and slightly dry.

DarkJoy,

What do you think of bamboo? I know that it has a lot of silica, and I was considering drinking the tea regularly.

Hello!

I love drinking the tea. Its relaxing and a light earthy flavor.

As far as hair rinses, it makes my hair feel both strong and moisturized. Can't speak on any growth benefits of the silica though since my hair is notoriously slow growing. Oolong, however, gives me a noticeable growth spurts when drinking regularly but its not sustained.

keranikki I think I'm going to use your recipe, however, since oil and water don't mix how does the coconut oil work in your tea spritz?

I used coconut oil in the leave-in conditioner, not the tea spritz. Sorry for the confusion.

I put an essential oil in the tea spritz for fragrance. I just shake it vigorously for a few seconds before use.

DarkJoy,

I'm going to have to try bamboo tea. I want to try the tea rinse as well as drinking it. Right now, I drink a lot of green tea.

whosthatcurl,

I need to use the tea spritz for a few more weeks to see if its working.
