Welcome back, @MyAngelEyez~C~U ! Got any new knowledge to share? How did your conditioner experiments go?

Hey! Only thing that has worked for me over the years is keeping it simple, and learning to make my own products. My new favorite oil is Emu oil, which I make a lotion out of for face and body, and I think I will use this oil I just infused to make a leave in moisurizer, and see how my hair likes it. I had to cut my hennaed ends, so I’m now back at grazing shoulder length, and shooting to get back to BSL, and hopefully i’ll Finally make waist-length. Glad to see some familiar names and faces!
 
Glad I didn't buy the methi oil. I discovered that my scalp doesn't like any kind of oil on it. Coconut oil, nope. Olive, grapeseed, almond, sesame, castor, nope. There must be some property in oil that irritates my scalp. I'll guess I will make an herbal tea rinse of my ayurvedic herbs and use that.

Oops I didn't post here that I used my Ayur-Shea mix with my deep conditioner today and was left with super soft hair. I was supposed to mix another Ayur-Shea batch today but got tied up running errands this afternoon and don't feel like making it this late. I am working tomorrow but should be home by 6 or 6:30. I hope I remember to mix it then.
 
I think I’ve found exactly the clay recipe for me. Blend of rhassoul, bentonite, kaolin with shikaikai, acv and distilled water. I added a pinch of cayenne. If I start with a 1/4 cup of rhassoul and do half again of the other two in the above order ending with about a tbs of shikaikai and acv mixed with 3/4 cups of distilled water. It makes about 8oz of a smoothie like mixture that can be applied using a tint bottle.
 
Just did a clay wash with:
  • Aztec Bentonite Clay
  • Rose Powder
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Honey

I'm running low on the Aztec Clay (I haven't replace because I'm thinking of switching to Rhassoul clay, opinions?) so since I had recently picked up a box of Rose Powder at the Indian Store I mixed it 1:1 so I would have enough. I think it really gave the clay a moisture boost because even after rinsing my strand were slipping and sliding. My hair felt soooo clean, I swear I heard it squeak a little bit but it didn't feel stripped at all! In fact it almost felt moisturized, like I didn't really feel like I needed to follow with conditioner (which I did anyway because I was nervous about powder residue) light rinse with Giovanni 50/50 condish and curls poppin everywhere!! air drying as we speak, seriously think I could even pull off a wash n go but we'll wait til summer, going to twist with some whipped cocoa butter soon.

I already use this mask weekly on my face but I may have to start incorporating this as a monthly hair mask too.
 
Tea Questions:

What do you typically make your tea rinses/spritz (to be left in) as strong as a regular cup of tea (say 1 tea bag) or weaker ?

Experiences with lavender tea ? I have this hibiscus/rosehips tea (orgnaic in tea bags) I'm thinking of using for a leave in hair spritz to use under butters for twisting but I am also thinking of steeping some dried lavender (easily accessible and love the smell plus supposed to be good benefits for hair) or maybe doing both in one.

What's your fav herb for a leave in spray?

I have rose powder, I just haven’t used it yet. I may try your recipe.

i'm doing a cassia gloss right now: cassia, amla, aloe vera powder, and bhrinraj powder, mixed it with water and trader joe's tea tree conditioner.

last time i did a henna gloss, i didn't notice any change in terms of my breakage. i'm going to leave this on with heat for an hour. and then i'm going to follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner (i have a couple store-bought ones to use up). after that i'm going style in my regular bun/protective style. i think i might be using: curlyproverbz strengthening tea, apb ayurveda hair creme and either bhrinraj oil or my jakaela whipped shea butter to seal.

Is the APB Ayurveda hair cream moisturizing?
 
Marinating all day in my favorite Ayurvedic combo: henna, amla & Bhringraj. Mixed 8 ounces powder with a can of coconut milk. @IDareT'sHair I remember us having a convo about using coconut milk with henna and I want to thank you for the tip. There were no drips, application was smooth and effortless and took exactly 7 minutes.

I'll follow up with an indigo treatment.
