I am tempted to mix a little glycerin with my Rooibos Tea...

@Sharpened
If you do, let us know how it goes....

 

[GGsKin]

I wanna do a henna treatment in the next week or so because I'm missing the vibrancy of my colour. If I get round to it, I'll definitely leave out my ends. I only henna the top two thirds of my head and even with me squeezing in the mix instead of smoothing, I don't think my ends up there (fine strands) can take another treatment before they end up straight.

@AbsyBlvd
I 'want/need' to do one too! So when we gone do one?

Lemme know so I can make my mix.

@IDareT'sHair Ooh yay! A henna buddy..usually I like to have a couple of days in a row where I don't have to be at work. That's not gonna happen for couple of weeks so I'm thinking of squeezing a treatment in on Tuesday. After work tomorrow, I'll mix some up and put it in the freezer.

@AbsyBlvd
Crap! I thought you were going to do it over the Weekend.

I just pulled my delicious mix out of the Freezer.

On a Tuesday...Lemme see.... I can do it 04.18?

I will off that entire week.

@IDareT'sHair What's in your delicious mix?

Yeah, I won't have much time over this weekend. I could do it on Saturday, but I'm not sure I'll have the energy. At least if I mix some up tomorrow, I'll be ready to go either way.

You make me think I need to check my holiday schedule.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@AbsyBlvd
Just Coconut Milk and a squirt of Oil.

Okay, I'll stick it back in the Freezer and wait.

I ain't wanna do it no way.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Did a Guava Leaf Tea Rinse. I also did a little rinse with: EVCO, EVOO and AVJ tonight.

 

[Sharpened]

Aloe gel mixed with oil made my hair shmooove, y'all.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Pulled my Guava Leaf Tea out for tomorrow.

Will use that, Rice Water Rinse and a Slippy Concoction of: AVJ, EVOO, EVCO with a couple squirts of AVG.

@IDareT'sHair It really does but sometimes it only smells mildly of baby sick lol. I took mine out the fridge in prep for a rinse later.

Forgot to mention that I applied my henna earlier today (but later than planned). My new grinder made light work of those dried hibiscus flowers. I added the powder to the defrosted mix (I didn't measure anything this time) and applied, trying to avoid my ends. I'll leave this on for another hr, before conditioning.

This is why I can't use it any other way but as a final rinse. And as a toner? Forget it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@imaginary

I used it under my DC'er and Steamed. This way, the smell doesn't linger.

Works great tho'.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@AbsyBlvd
I thought we were doing our Henna on a Tuesday?

I still plan to do mine then and hopefully leave it on all day since I'll be off.

Hmm I may try it as a pre-poo, maybe layer it under a conditioner.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

maybe layer it under a conditioner.

@imaginary
I always gotta put something over it.

During a DC'ing Session or before a Final R/O.

I know @IDareT'sHair, I'm sorry. I've got no days free this coming week. I decided to do it today, so that I could condition again on Tuesday if need be.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@AbsyBlvd
I'm glad you got it done when you can get it in.

Hope you do a good DC'ing Treatment on Tuesday.

Used a lot of avj today and I forgot how well it treats my hair. I sprayed on one side of my hair (because I forgot to do the other) under conditioner before I went to the beach and there was a noticeable difference in shine and coil definition.

I usually don't like using it as a leave-in when I have to set because it makes my hair so smooth and squeaky feeling when combined with my other products, but I'm just gonna have to get over it or invest in some gloves.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Tea Rinse (Guava Leaves) also did a rinse of: AVJ, AVG, EVOO and EVCO.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Steeping a Pot of Bamboo Leaf Tea for Rinsing right now (Uncle Lee's)

 

[Sharpened]

Rooibos Tea Leave-in Rinse (5 oz) with a little glycerin (1/4 tsp) added

 

[GGsKin]

I did end up DCing again on Monday/Tuesday with APB UCS and JBCO. I used clay, and finished up the rest of my rice water in a rinse with steeped hibiscus.

 

[Sharpened]

...finished up the rest of my rice water in a rinse with steeped hibiscus.

So you mixed the two liquids together, or did you steep the hibiscus in the rice water? Did it help the smell of the rice water?

I mixed the two liquids together in a jug. My rice water never really smelled foul, just weird. But I think this final rinse was quite mild (I don't recall smelling it this wash day but it was heavily diluted, and then adding the hibicus). After standing for a about 20mins, the mix that was quite red initially, appeared to get darker and clearer,if that makes sense. It to definitely wasn't red anymore. Still effective. It seems to make my hair look much fuller, especially when wet.

Aloe gel underneath Castor/Hemp Oil left my hair too greasy. I will try aloe gel with jojoba next time.

Going to add a little more glycerin to my Rooibos Tea Rinse.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Castor/Hemp Oil left my hair too greasy.

@Sharpened
Which one do you think caused the greasy effect? Castor or Hemp?
