Made a herbal tea spritz today to moisturize with in between wash days.

Boiled some water and seeped one tablespoon each of the following herbs:
Chamomile flowers
Marshmallow root
Burdock root

I made sure to choose conditioning herbs for the mixture.

Let them soak for 2 hours, strained and added in a tablespoon of aloe Vera gel for extra moisture. It has citric acid in it so hopefully it will help to preserve my mix while in the fridge.



Ooooooh and when I strained and squeezed the herbs to get the excess, there was a nice amount of mucilage. My hands were so slippery and moisturized. Oooh La La!!!



My herbal oil is ready as well after infusing on my candle warmer for the last 24 hours. Strained the herbs/fenugreek seeds and added 1/8 teaspoon of MSM. Will use it on my scalp every 3 days, on my ends daily and to seal with as needed after moisturizing with my herbal conditioning tea spritz.

I did another sodium bemtonite treatment. This time I added enough water to make it the consistency of chocolate milk. I let it sit for 1 hour uncovered.

1 tablespoon grape seed oil
1 tablespoon neem honey
3 tablespoons sodium bentonite
Bottled water

I've been doing quarterly dark henna treatments (indigo, henna, amla, and bhringraj powders) but the brown isn't dark enough so I may just do glosses until I use it up and start doing prepoos with APB's ayurvedic mud mask. Although I didnt like it as a DC, I loved it as an overnight prepoo.

I'm going to purchase a 16 ounce jar during her next sale.

@NaturallyATLPCH
Have a jar or two of this. Will definitely keep this right here in mind.

It definitely made my hair very soft and easy to detangle as a prepoo.
Plus the Pearberry scent I got it in was yummy.
Now that I think about it, I must get multiple jars of it in my new scents .

@NaturallyATLPCH
I will pull one of these out and use it next weekend

If I don't use it overnight, I will definitely use it as a "soak" and leave it on several hours.

Saturday: Oat Chlorella Treatment w/ SAA, Sweet Coffee and Green Tea Soak
Saturday & Sunday: Heavy application (7 oz) of LotD aloe inner leaf gel under avocado oil

From left to right: Oat Chlorella Treatment, Sweet Coffee and Green Tea Soak, Marshmallow Rooibos Tea

The Marshmallow Rooibos Tea will be for later this week. My hair feels like plastic thread, which is OK, I guess, for a protein treatment.

 

[Ltown]

from the deserts i made green tea and rosemary rinse.

I did my first ACV rinse last month. I musta been sleeping under a rock to miss this in hair care. My hair was so soft that entire week!

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Gonna pick up a tea pot with a built in infuser this weekend. Also need to invest in a few silicone free cheapie conditioners for mixing my powder treatments with. I used up an entire bottle of Giovanni last wash day fooling around trying to get a good consistency. Gonna skip washing this week cause my hair is sickening soft and scalp feels amazing. Probably going back to my 2 week wash day routine since everything is back on track.

Here are the amla and rhassoul deep conditioning bars I made. I'll be alternating between the 2 for deep treating prior to washing.

Mixed each with a whole bunch of goodies. Froze overnight, separated and storing in freezer to use as needed.

Sodium bentonite, honey, grapeseed oil again today. Love it.

 

[ladybee1922]

Using my DIY ayurvedic butter and oil mix with SM Manuka Honey on top under steamer.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Melted down 2 of my rhassoul/cocoa butter treatment bars. Added conditioner to it and I'm currently deep conditioning with cling wrap over my hair.

Also steeping some marshmallow root, burdock root, nettle, horsetail and rosemary herbs while I deep condition.

I'll rinse out the deep conditioner in a few hours then finish off with a herbal tea rinse. Air dry in 2 big Bantu knots....don't feel like doing any fancy styling. Relaxing with my feet up at home all day. LOL

 

[Sharpened]

After the second application of Marshmallow Rooibos Tea had dried, it started flaking like dandruff. It looks like mucilage coats the hair, like gel does, but does not condition it.

Conditioning, to me, means it becomes a part of the hair and helps in hydration. So far, guava leaf is the only plant that does this. I have seen raves about catnip, if you can get the steeping ratio you need right.

@Sharpened
I have Catnip. I think I was mixing it with Fenugreek as a Tea Rinse? Not sure, but I haven't used it often.

I may steep a Pot of Catnip and test it out alone.

Ah, fenugreek is another one I need to test. I just ordered a 0.2 oz sample of catnip buds.
