It is a great oil. I also use it on my ends from time to time. It is excellent as a prepoo.
Never tried the Green Tea Hair Oil Spritz.

Been working on a few (or 6 different) 
herbal blends. Here is one for scalp issues.
Blend of aloe vera powder, calendula, Rosehips, fenugreek & rosemary. Mixed a spoonful of each together.
Put some in disposable tea bags. I was able to make 6 treatments from this.
Currently steeping a bag overnight to mix the tea with my henna.
The bags seal with heat, but I still placed a hair tie around it to make sure. LOL
Got the same set of herbs steeping in Grapeseed oil for a few weeks so I can make an herbal shampoo bar and herbal scalp oil. If I have some leftover, I'll mix some with my shea butter blend.

Nice blends @ElevatedEnergy. You do inspire me with these herbs. I am trying to pull back the reigns on how many products I have in my stash but I still want calendula and bay leaves added to my herbal stash. Won't work on getting those until maybe next year though.

Gone head and get you some calendula...ain't nothing like that flower power!!
LOL I don't consider my herbs and oils products, because they are dual purpose for me. I drink/cook with them as well as use them on my body/hair. Just putting that out there in case you need your purchase to be justified

Thanks Sis! Got some big things planned for my herbs in 2018. Can't wait to share them all in the thread.

Mixed a teaspoon of Lakshmi's Cupboard's Amla Powder blend to my DC. I am trying to use it up, I hate the messiness of these powers. I am sticking to ayurvedic oil blends and coconut oils.

Powders can be messy!
I thought it was just me.
Been lovin' the results of mixing powder in my DC'er.

I do not notice any miraculous difference. I noticed more of a difference with the oils than the powders. They do not make my DC perform any better or worse so that is why they are a waste of time for me lol...@NaturallyATLPCH

I like the feel of the Paste or the Masque they make by adding them.
Very therapeutic feeling and I feel, for my hair, the cumulative benefits with both Powders and Oils are giving me good results.
I'll carry both into 2018. And re-evaluate their overall efficacy in about 6 months.

Yes every head is different. You have to do what works for you.

I ended up steeping the tea blend half the day. Mixed it with a box of Jamila henna and let it sit for a few hours. I've already applied the henna to my hair and will keep it in overnight. Tomorrow will rinse and apply indigo. Can't let the year end without that shiny jet blackety-black-black hair.

Since my refocused goal for 2018 is improving my density and thickness, I'm trying out a mask designed to address those issues. My mask contains fenugreek, aloe vera gel, JBCO, neem, bhringraj and brahmi. I applied it to my scalp only, not the length of my hair. My idea is to do this every other week, while alternating with henna/cassia glosses.

Agreeing with @IDareT'sHair - great plan. I have all the ingredients you listed so I might just join you in this effort.

Mostly ayurveda powders that I will make conditioning pastes, diy ayur-oils, deep conditioners and tea rinses. Of course, I will add other herbs like hops, calendula flower, sage, burdock root, chamomile, horsetail, curry leave powder, rosemary and thyme to my ayur-regimen. I want teas and oils as my main objective products to make and use.

Also @mzteaze
I probably will be shopping more with any site that sells ayurveda products like Hairveda for example. Although, most of what I use, I will make myself. I have been watching quite a bit of YouTube ayurveda hair care videos as of late and will be putting my own spin on them based solely on my own hair care needs at the time I use them.
