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

Did an overnight with earl grey lavender under my moisture conditioner. It didn't give me that instant decrease in breakage like it did last time, so I'm putting it down as something that has to have heat to work.
 
Counting down until my Sunday wash. ACV rinse here I come.

I've been itchy again but nothing like last week. I think the cold is doing things to my scalp because I haven't had dandruff in YEARS.

Would an ACV rinse and Head and Shuolders be overkill? I usually do H&S for the minty feeling but I was thinking of using the shampoo for the visible flakes then doing an ACV rinse for the itch.:look:

You should be fine. Just make sure your Ratios are on point ACV to Water.

The ACV Rinse closes Cuticle, helps with Shine, removes build up, corrects porosity, helps to combat 'itch'.

You should be good.
 
Been Co washing everyday/every 2 days alternating moisture and protein. Also, I've been using my tea spritz (Liptons, horsetail, hibiscus) before and after rinsing the conditioner.
 
Oiled my scalp and strands with Alma & Brahmi oil and let it sit.
Pre-pooed with BRB Chai Hair Tea
Used Jakeala Hydrating Mask with Ayurvedic Herbs (added by Jakeala--Amla, Brahmi, etc).
I sealed my hair along the length with Jakeala Amla Shea Hemp Castor Parfait.
 
Did a black tea rinse under deep conditioner yesterday (forgot last week).

Will try green tea next week. This thread is getting me back on track.

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.

So my first time using henna was November last year. I've been wigging it most days and I baggy practically 100% of the time.

I did an MHM session involving a mix of rhassoul clay with a little honey, cayenne pepper, ACV and fair bit water, on Friday. I wore my hair out yesterday and my cousin mentioned how brown my hair was, and we were indoors! I think I am feeling it, as long as it makes my dusty brown (IMO) hair look richer lol.

Suffered 3 bouts of breakage at my nape during the last 3 detangling/ wash sessions. This could be down to 1. a wig 2. my braids 3. careless 'detangling'. Once I figure this out, I may be tempted to henna again.
 
Completed wash day routine. I pre-pooed with a mixture of olive oil, egg, and my last bit of Shea Moisture Maruka conditioner. I washed my hair with brahmi and shikakai powder. Then DC'd overnight with my tea spritz under Aussie 3 minute conditioner and sesame oil. Right now I'm sitting under the dryer with my tea spritz and Lush R&B leave-in conditioner. I will then let my hair dry and proceed to flat iron.

I learned the hard way that I did not put enough oil in my homemade leave-in that consisted of Irish moss, slippery elm, marshmallow root, coconut oil, and my tea spritz. I basically made a great gel that dried the heck out my hair! I experienced a lot of breakage this past week because of it. Ahh, you live and you learn.
 
Layered APB hibiscus and fenugreek oil on top of Naturelle Growth coconut water and mango conditioner yesterday. I forgot to put the oil on first, so I put it in top instead.

Spritzing w nettle tea, bhringraj, brahmi, and hibiscus tea. After washing, and every morning and night. Looking to add horsetail to the mix.
 
For the liquid portion of my LCC method this weekend I used Siamese Twists Bamboo Monoi Hair Spritzer(aloe vera is the second ingredient)
 
It's Perfectly Natural's Tealightful Shine Pomade *discontinued*

= Green Tea, Black Tea, Horsetail Butter, Broccoli Seed Butter, Tea Tree Oil, Karanja Oil

I must say this was amazing. Best indigo ever. Switched brands and the color covered my grey first try this timr. Mehandi took 2 or 3x for full coverage. Im pleased.

Oan, instead of a henna oil, im considering making a henna pomade... wonder if it would stain anything like clothing, pillows etc..?
