2017 Coffee Tea Clay Mud Acv Avj Ayurveda Challenge

[Prettymetty]

As long as your hair is still accepting moisture (no tight cuticles) and not feeling rough (raised or damaged cuticle layer) you should be fine. What is the ratio you are using? Anything else in your mix?

I use about an ounce in a pint of water

Fermenting some Rice Wata' for this week's Wash Day!

Started it on Sun/day.

So, it should be good and "Ripe"

Will probably do: Coffee, Tea, Rice Wata' at different stages throughout my Wash Day.

Used APB's Ayurvedic Icing to rebun
So there are small white chunks forming in my jar. There is no palm or coconut oil in it so I'm curious as to why they are forming. There is sunflower, castor, and soybean oils to name the main oils and the ayurvedic extracts. I'm not sure if soybean oil solidifies or not.
It hasn't affected performance though, it still makes my hair soft and pliable. I'm just curious.

I was cleaning my sons room and found a bottle of extra dark JBCO. I opened it up to see if there was any left and it had cloudy patches in it. I knew it wasn't old because I had given it to him around 5-6 months prior. It was under his bed so...IDK lol

 

[Sharpened]

Sprayed my strong Bay Leaf Tea Spray twice so far. Works great as a bug repellent, smells nicer and less toxic than the store-bought poison. My hair is meh with it, about the same level as catnip tea, no impressed. Don't know if it helps with shedding.

I put raw aloe on my scalp before the tea spray and Wetline Gel.

 

[Sharpened]

A while back, I saw a video where the woman steeped her herbs in boiled AVJ. I thought it was genius. I may try that with watered-down raw aloe and guava leaf/rooibos to mix with clay and some EOs.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Today Using:
Leftover Black Coffee
Saw Palmetto Berry Tea
ACV/AVJ Rinse (SprAngz)

Throughout my Regimen today

I actually prepooed overnight with APB's Ayurvedic Hair Icing
It is definitely made for sealing because there were no penetrating properties at all. It made detangling easier but it just sat on my hair. Coconut oil is definitely better, I'll be going back to prepooing with that.

 

[Sharpened]

Bay Leaf Tea from head to toe, raw aloe on scalp.

Since I clarified with clay, my hair is more accepting of lighter oils.

 

[sunshine737]

I've been spritzing my hair everyday with aloe vera juice with added essential oils of tea tree, peppermint, thyme and rosemary.

I skipped my ayurvedic prepoo this week and I have been sealing with grapeseed oil instead of coconut oil. I did an acv rinse today after my wash and Tuesday too. I love how smooth acv leaves my hair. I need to find a grocery store that sells aloe leaves so that I can do a coconut oil/aloe treatment next week.

I'm thinking about adding acupuncture to enhance my hair growing journey at this point.

[ElevatedEnergy]

Oiled my scalp and hair lightly with my Ayurvedic Herbal oil.

Also got some store bought Ayurvedic oils to play in from my local Indian market.

 

[GGsKin]

Did a henna treatment on my Mum today. Its her second one and she loves it but I finished my rinse-out stash on her. Now finally time for mine...well once my batch fully defrosts, and I've gone to WF to re-up on conditioner smh.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Prepooed overnight with Lakshmi's Cupboard's Bashtavaa Ayurvedic coconut oil. It was okay. I'll use it up but I'm going to throw in some ayurvedic herbs powder I have in regular coconut oil and prepoo with that

 

[GGsKin]

I oiled my hair with cocount oil before putting some fenugreek on my scalp (I hope I don't regret that). Then I applied my henna mix- Rajasthani henna, hibiscus tea and hibiscus powder, to the top two thirds of my hair. I've decided to sleep with this mix as I'm too tired to begin washing it out tonight.

 

[sunshine737]

After I washed and conditioned my hair I did a final rinse containing: marshmallow root, fenugreek, neem, green tea and aloe vera juice. Hair feels great, it was my first time using neem.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Lightly oiled my scalp yesterday with my Ayurvedic herbal oil.

I need to make some more shampoo soon. Thinking about what herbal tea infusion to use in it ...maybe a blend of burdock root, calendula flowers and fenugreek perhaps?

Shampoo has been made using the tea blend I mentioned above. I used a few drops of tea tree oil in it too.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Used:
Cantu's ACV Root Rinse
Saw Palmetto Tea
Fermented Rice Water
Will also use SpAngz which appears to be: AVJ, ACV & some Oils

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will prepare Rice for another Rice Water Rinse next wash-day.

 

[GGsKin]

Yes! The fenugreek rinsed out fine. This time I used my grinder to make a powder before adding water to it. I was concerned it would be difficult to rinse because it was still bitty when I applied it but everything was a-ok.

I followed with a cowash, DC and clay.

Once I use up my seeds, I want to play around with fenugreek powder too. Well the already made powder...it didnt work out well for me when I tried to grind them up. LOL I'm so happy you were able to get it all rinsed out!!!!!

Thanks Lulu. You already know how happy I am. My grinder is priceless right now. Last time, I tried to go manual with a pestle and mortar and that was a big fat no lol. I was picking fenugreek out of my hair for days. Did the same thing happened with you?

 

[sunshine737]

I have some nupur henna and fenugreek tea steeping right now. Will spritz my hair with it and seal before bed. It's my first time making henna tea... Let's hope I don't make a mess using it

Yep...the exact same thing! LOL

I followed a YT tutorial of an Indian lady and she said to soak the seeds overnight to make them soft then blend them. Ummmmmmm no! My hair felt uber good though. I was thinking that this could be an epic conditioner had it worked. LOL
