Gardening took my roller set out. Sweat, dirt & bugs made me wash today.

**************
I had a lot of that detangling mix leftover from my last wash day so of course I froze it. (slippery elm, marshmallow root & fenugreek)

Steeped some Rosehips & horsetail then added a few cubes of the detangling mix to it. That detangling mix smells like dirt so I added some peppermint essential oil to mask the smell. Now it smells like dirty peppermint :lachen:

Sprayed it on my hair and scalp. Let it soak in for 10-15 minutes.
Washed with my herbal aloe shampoo. Then used the leftover herbal tea as a final condition/rinse. Hair feels super soft!

Air dying in 2 twisted Bantu knots.

Will oil my scalp and seal my ends tomorrow.

I have a butt load of natural fragrance oils as well as essential oils in route to me. I love all my DIY stuff...now I gotta work on getting it to smell good.

Thank you. I freeze and store any products I make that has water in it or other perishable liquids. My oldest son just asked me the other day if he could eat some of those Chocolate ice cream pops I made. I was like...what is you talmbout child? o_O I'm always experimenting...making new recipes and having them taste stuff and giving me their opinion. Well this time he was talking about my hair stuff. :lachen:

I really wanted to do a deep cleansing to get a clean slate before the month was over. I made a herbal infused mud wash to detox with. I wanted something very easy to rinse out similar to a liquid shampoo. So it's way more liquid than mud.

Started out by steeping some nettle & burdock root. While it was steeping, added in a few cubes of my detangling/conditioning mix (marshmallow root, slippery elm & fenugreek)

Ingredients:
8-10 ounces herbal infused water
2 heaping plastic spoonfuls of bentonite clay
1 heaping plastic spoonful of rhassoul clay
1 tablespoon ACV
2 tablespoons whole leaf aloe vera gel

Applied in the shower and left it on for about 5 minutes. It rinsed extremely well and left my hair feeling super clean. I noticed that my hair air dried in half the time. After it air dried, I oiled my scalp and sealed my ends. My hair sucked the products up so fast. This is a keeper for when I want a stronger cleanser than my normal shampoo.

Also my hair smells so good today. All but 3 of my EO's were delivered to me so I used a few drops of lime EO in this mud wash. I can't stop smelling my hair!

Today is my 2nd Rinse with straight Catnip Tea. (I was usually mixing it with Green, Fenugreek or something else).

But, so far, I really like it.:love:

I like the way my Hair feels after Rinsing with it. I have the actual Tea Bags and not the Catnip folks buy for pets.

I know folks also use that for a Rinse. I'll use it again this weekend and then steep another pot.

@IDareT'sHair and @Sharpened how did the catnip work out for you? Did you notice any immediate difference to your hair?

I have not tried it yet, but I will tomorrow. I only used 1/2 tsp in 4 oz of distilled water. The next one will have a full tsp. I am trying to find that "sweet spot" before a herbal tea become astringent. I think that is where I went wrong with the rooibos.
 
Used the catnip tea today, not sure I got any results. Brewed a stronger batch (1 tsp to 4 oz distilled water) for tomorrow.

I went to put the rest of the fermented rice water into an applicator bottle… frozen solid. My attempt to thaw it under warm water produced a smelly, filmy mess, so I tipped it upside-down in the sink and started a fresh batch. If it does not smell like baby barf, it will not touch my head.

That sounds so wrong…
 
Washed and did a protein treatment yesterday.

Ended the washing process with a burdock root tea rinse. Added in some aloe vera gel and slippery elm powder to give it more conditioning power and slip. Let it sit with a plastic cap for a few minutes while I showered. I've noticed that when I go to rinse out my herbal tea rinses...there is not much to rinse. My hair always just sucks up all that goodness.

Will be doing an unplanned chlorella oat mask today to firm up my strands.

@Sharpened
Sounds very interesting.:scratchchin:

I did an Oatstraw Tea Rinse once and it made my hair hard as a brick. :bricks:

I've never tried/used it again. Same with Neem Tea:barf:. (Hard & Dry)

I haven't even tried to mix either of them with Green or something else to see how they would do mixed with another Tea.
