2017 Coffee Tea Clay Mud Acv Avj Ayurveda Challenge

[mzteaze]

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.

You could also try a mix (cassia and henna) in a gloss. Just skip the time you allow for color release and mix in some conditioner. You can also just use henna but again, skip the period of time you wait to use it. Mix it up and use it with conditioner as a gloss.

@blackviolet
Keep me posted on what you thought about J.Monique's. I'm assuming you are talking about the Dead Sea Mud Mask?

I used the J.Monique Rhassoul & Bentonite Detox as a wash and/or Pre-Tx too.

Brewed and Froze a Pot of Black Coffee for my Rinses. Once these are gone, I'll brew a Pot of Green Tea.

 

[Sharpened]

Used henna tea on my wet twists and lightly rinsed it out, no reaction so far.

@Sharpened
Do you 'wet' your hair daily?

Nope, I do my hair twice weekly. Sometimes I go up to 5 days without doing anything to my head.

@Sharpened
I thought maybe you Spritzed with Water or did something to it daily.

I was doing aloe daily for a little bit, but stopped when I started to run out. That conditioning film I get from oil rinsing last for daysssss....

@Sharpened
I bet it does. ...

I will be doing more of this in the upcoming wash days.

 

[sexypebbly]

Used raw aloe vera on my scalp. Gonna use my fenugreek and green tea under my dc and use the rest to rinse.

 

[Sharpened]

I did a twist-out and my hair feels fine, even though I skipped using a sealing oil. I will freeze the leftover henna tea.

Amla is next...

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Tuesday (yesterday), I applied Asha & Miel Edge Genesis Ultra Oil to my edges, applied DIY CurlyProverbz oil to my scalp, and massaged it all in using an electric scalp massager.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Took my Black Coffee Rinse out to un-thaw for tomorrow.

Will also do a Rice Water Rinse and an AVJ Rinse during different stages of tomorrow's Regi.

 

[Sharpened]

I made a strong marshmallow root tea, but when I felt it between my fingers, I knew it would not budge a slipknot out of my hair. If I can feel my cuticle layer through a product, it will not have enough slip for me. I will try it as a leave-in rinse.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Sharpened
I've made a nice: Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm Tea Rinse. Sometimes I will also add Burdock Root Tea to it as well.

Slippery elm is next on the list. I may do something crazy and mix the powder with clay...

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Sharpened
I don't use this mixture often because both the Marshmallow Root Tea and the Slippery Elm Tea Bags were expensive!

The Perfect Tea Ball

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Sharpened
So you must be buying it loose?

Umm...Is this why you're showing me this Tea Ball?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I need to pull out my Pepp.ermint Tea for Winter Tea Rinses.

A Brew of Pe.ppermint & Rosemary sounds nice and soothing.

I think I have a couple boxes of Horse.tail Tea too? I should have been using it, this summer.

Yup yup! I just used this strainer

and let it sit to get rid of any leftover particulates.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Sharpened
I need to price some loose Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm.

Because right now I rarely make this Blend because of the price I paid for those Bags.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Today:
Black Coffee
AVJ
Rice Water
ACV (Cantu's Root Rinse)

FYI: tea bags usually hold 1g of herb.

@Sharpened
Thanks for this very helpful info.

I did price loose Marshmallow and loose Slippery Elm.

I have some cheesecloth tea bags for loose teas. I have loose Moringa, Roobis, Hibiscus, Rose Petals and a few others as well as Blue Malva flowers etc...that I stick in those cheesecloth tea bags from time to time. I have a Metal Tea Ball as well.

Loose Slippery Elm was modestly priced but the Marshmallow Root was still pricey IMO.

I added 2 additional capsules of MSM to my curlyproverbs horsetail oil. I don't know if it was my imagination, but my hair at the front was looking a bit fuller.... I need to start taking pictures to be sure. I probably won't, but I acknowledge that I should.

 

[imaginary]

Also this brought back... memories. Fenugreek is no joke yall.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@imaginary
I need to pull out my Fenugreek Tea Bags.

Never messed with the Powder.

After watching this....I think I'll stick with the Tea.

This reminds me of when I ended up with scrambled eggs in my hair, I was traumatized. I live in Florida and the sun literally cooked the eggs while it was in my hair

A very wise decision
