Are you using this as a Cleanser or a DC'er? Sounds good. Please report back.

Cleanser. My hair felt clean and strong and very defined. It felt like I’d clarified so I’ve got my dc on now. This is my first time using the shikaikai and cassia. They might get to be once or twice a month. I’m gonna detangle and rinse and three strand twist.
 
Does anyone know where I can get a nice coffee oil blend?

I loved the one in Soultanicals bundle but its not a standalone product and I highly doubt she brings it back

@ElevatedEnergy @mzteaze @Sharpened @Saludable84 might be able to tell you how to steep and make a nice Coffee Oil.

Shawny - I went ahead and added you to this Challenge.:look:

My coffee oil is still sitting. I originally steeped the coffee in oil in water (in a pot on the stove) on low for 12 hours. It smelled strong. Then I left it for about two weeks (for when I ready to use it). Two weeks turned into a month, but it changed a bit in color and smells like coffee a lot. I can’t wait to use it, just not sure when.

I’m not sure how others make theirs, but since it takes me a while to get to oils, this has been the longest I’ve ever let it sit. I also prefer this method because I know it takes me a while to get through stuff.

I need a crockpot or something to try this method of long simmering. But I've only ever just put coffee in oil and left it in the sun for a few days and then left it in my cupboard for a month before straining it over a few days.

The crockpot or low heat method is good for immediate use. In that case, at least you have the option. I prefer letting it sit somewhere dark, because when I finally get the chance to use it, it’s usually weeks to almost months later and I don’t have to scramble to make it. Depending on use, do both. It definitely helps.

If you are home, just fill a pot up with enough water to reach the neck of the mason jar and put it on low. Low enough for the water to heat up and evaporate, but not boil. And watch it.

Did you use coffee beans or grounds?
 
Been away for awhile, but rejoining for Ayurvedic recipes n ideas. I’ll be using all the standard herbs and powders except henna, since I have gone back to my natural blonde. I did a cassia treatment last night, and will be doing those 2-3 times a month. Also started an oil infusion of Cassia, Amla, Bhringraj, Brahmi, rose powder, aloe powder, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and olive oil. I’ll also be adding MSM to the finished oil, and using it for scalp massages a few times week.
 
How I make coffee oil:

I use whole coffee beans. Grind half, keep the other half whole. Dark roasted.

Put in a 24 ounce mason jar. Fill the jar up with oil of choice. Leave on top of my candle warmer for 3 days. I started a coffee infusion Jan 1st of this year, but haven't used it yet. The coffee beans are still in the oil infusing. Will probably keep it in there until the spring.

Thanks Sis! @IDareT'sHair I haven't decided what I'll do with it yet, but I do have a fragrance oil called coffee and snickers from bulk apothecary to go with it. Maybe a coffee shea mix, coffee soap or coffee lotion?! So many options....
