First time trying this. Never tried this before.

Too Lazy to open a Can of Coconut Milk. Will let you know how it does.

Thank you.:hug2:

I experimented with coconut milk for a month a while back. It made my hair feel a little weird...like plastic almost. It was better when mixed with other ingredients. Softer plastic maybe?! LOL

I hope the henna and water works well for you. I've tried henna in so many ways but mixing it with just water is always my favorite. I just rinsed some henna out and my hair feels so goodt. Like plush cashmere. Like velvet. Just wonderful.

Added indigo and will let that marinate until before bed.

I won't henna anymore this month though. Gonna enjoy this jet black hair I get from indigo for a while. I'll henna again in October. Probably just full strength again. I do like my glosses but after doing this treatment, I can definitely tell that adding all the extra stuff interferes with the release of all that henna goodness. I might just have to stick to doing it straight no chaser.
 
After weeks of not doing this due to working nights and being exhausted, I finally made a cassia/henna gloss. My hair really really needed it.

My favorite cheapie conditioner (Vatika Conditioner) works really well with the mix because it has a very strong perfume which covers up the smell of the cassia/henna mix AND has a ton of oil so I don't need to add extra. My hair loves it.
 
If it is not too late to join, I'd like to join and share a vendor I ordered from the other day who has some ayurvedic products. The vendor is Pure O.N.E. Beauty:
I'll try to remember to come back and post vendor and product reviews. I purchased a sample of the ayurvedic shampoo, as well as sample prepoo hair mud masks. One mask performed as an excellent detangler in a YT demo video, and I'm hoping to use either the black soap or ACV version of the mask to collapse the steps of prepooing, strands cleansing, detangling, and scalp treating all to one product and two steps.

Ayurvedic-ingredients-containing products currently in rotation:
Soultanicals Power to the Prepoo; Soultanicals Soulvedic Strands Poo Bar (holy grail for me; permits detangling); Soultanicals Afrotastic Curl Elastic deep conditioner; Qhemet Biologics Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee; Curly Proverbz DIY Ayurvedic Hair Growth Oil; Jakeala Shea Amla Parfait (melts into hair and contains several ayurvedic ingredients); and Asha & Miel EdgeGenesis ULTRA Hair Oil.

I'm not really feeling the Asha & Miel cowash from the first use, but I'll trial it some more.

I used the prepoo and poo bar today and plan to use the parfait and edge oil tomorrow.

I just used the seeds. Infused it in a bain marie for an hour, then let it sit in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks. It does not take that long to infuse; I just had not used it yet.

Thanks much. I'm just gonna use the sunflower oil I have that's been infused with horsetail already. Adding the seeds and MSM powder. Did you add Vit. C to your oil mix as well?
 
On Wednesday night I slept with a clay mix of calcium bentonite, rhassoul, water, SAA and a few drops of ACV. It's been ages since I've done that and my hair still responded well to it.

Thursday morning, I rinsed it out and rubbed a small amount of UCS into my hair- my hair smells so good with this DC that I just can't get enough. I followed with some shea butter I whipped up with added rice bran oil and rose essential oil. I rubbed this into the lower half of my strands and then applied gel as always.

My hair feels great right now. I was being really lazy because when I could be bothered to use shea butter, I was just using it in its raw state but it feels so much better on my strands after being whipped (duh).

What scent did you get your USC in?

I always get the same 1 or 2 scents and would like to try something new.

This time, I got Marshmallow Clouds again- my fave so far, although I believe of the ones I got this time, my smaller jar (just finished:cry3:) had a stronger scent.

In the DC, I've tried only two or three I think. I got gogi berry and something the last time, and although it smelled nice in the jar, it didnt quite work with my chemistry. I've got something else in the strawberry champagne but I haven't tried it yet:look:.
 
Ok curlyprov mix complete! My ratio:
used my diy horsetail oil which was a little over half full
1tsp of MSM powder
3 heaping tsp of henna
last drops of black castor oil
a bit of plain castor oil
a bunch of fenugreek seeds

I'll try and give it a few days in sunlight to infuse. I might boil it on one of the days depending on how I feel, but I don't want to risk burning it. I should start applying it either Thur or Fri.
 
I had to say goodbye to henna, doing either the I step or 2 step didn't matter, both turned my hair reddish orange. Now that it's highlighted & colored I'm trying mud washing. I tried Jakeala's , it was ok, have J. Monique's on now. This one tingles a bit so I like it better. Waiting on Mud Puddle.
